MetaMask warns of wallet update scams, how to correctly perform updates?

MetaMask has issued a statement on Twitter regarding the recent "wallet update scam."

MetaMask Update, Users Do Not Need to Take the Following Actions

• No need to provide mnemonic phrases to anyone

• No need to transfer funds to any address

• No need to register with Email, Discord, Telegram, etc.

• No need to click on any "verify," "confirm," "register wallet," or similar buttons

What Are the Suspicious Points in This Image

1. The capitalization of MetaMask is inconsistent in the text

2. Low-quality content, "advice" should be "advise"

3. Redirecting to a website link to the MetaMask official blog on Medium, which has never been seen before

The most important point is that users usually do not need to actively update MetaMask.

MetaMask Update Process

According to the tutorial provided by the official, for the web version of the extension application, users only need to:

1. Right-click on the browser extension

2. Click on "Manage Extensions"

3. Enable developer mode in the upper right corner

4. Click on Update

The official also emphasizes that MetaMask will update when the user unlocks it by entering the password, just like other apps.
