SKR airdrop phishing links are everywhere. This 51-hour token that increased over 50% hides hidden risks.
The Solana Mobile SKR airdrop has just completed distribution and has triggered security risks. According to the latest news, GoPlus has issued a security alert stating that a large number of phishing links targeting the SKR airdrop have appeared on the X platform. These links are highly obfuscated to mimic official domains and use practical content such as token unlocking and airdrop valuation to attract users to click. Meanwhile, the SKR price surged by 51.76% within 24 hours, with a seven-day increase of over 200%. This intense volatility, combined with phishing risks, poses a dual threat to investors.
Airdrop Distribution and Phishing Risks Coexist
Official channels confirm, only through built-in wallet
According to GoPlus’s alert, the SKR airdrop on Solana Mobile has been completed, but the only official channel for checking and claiming is the built-in wallet on the mobile device. This means any links, emails, or social media promotions claiming to allow users to check, claim, or stake the airdrop via X platform should be considered suspicious. The official will not promote airdrop links on X, and users do not need to verify their airdrop status through third-party websites.
The deceptive nature of phishing tactics
The danger of these phishing links lies in their high level of professionalism. According to the alert, these links not only obfuscate official domains (for example, the official might be saakuru.com, while phishing links could be saakuru-claim.com or similar variants) but also use practical content to increase credibility. Specific manifestations include:
Once users click these links and input their wallet private keys, seed phrases, or authorize transactions, their assets will be directly stolen.
Risks Behind SKR’s Price Surge
Recent performance has been unusually strong
SKR has increased by 51.76% in the past 24 hours, with a 7-day gain of 201.11%, and a 30-day increase of 206.31%. Such a level of growth typically attracts many retail investors to follow the trend, and the appearance of phishing links exploits this FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) mentality.
According to relevant data, SKR’s current price is $0.001355, with a market cap of approximately $1.14 million. Although the market cap is small, the 24-hour trading volume has plummeted by 98.89% from about $1,700 to $17.16, reflecting market liquidity fluctuations and unstable price movements.
The link between price surges and risks
Small-cap tokens that experience rapid increases are often prime targets for phishing and scams. The reason is simple: new users, high attention, and eagerness to participate. Phishers leverage the “airdrop” event to create urgency, causing users to make mistakes in haste.
User Protection Tips
Summary
The SKR airdrop on Solana Mobile is a normal project operation, but the emergence of phishing risks reminds us that high-profile events are often hunting grounds for scammers. Especially amid a token price surge, users’ risk awareness tends to decline due to FOMO. The key principle to remember is: official airdrops are not distributed via links on the X platform. The only legitimate way to check and claim is through the official app itself. Any operation deviating from this logic should be considered suspicious. Investors interested in SKR should only participate after ensuring the safety of their assets.
