Connecting your wallet to untrusted sites

Support Interacting with Web3 Sites
1

Hi folks,

Sorry I’m sure this has been discussed a lot before but I’m just wondering what the risks are with connecting your wallet (Brave browser extension) to untrusted websites, whether it’s a new NFT project or defi thing. I’m just wondering what anyone can do if you simply connect your wallet to allow you to interact with the site without making or confirming any transactions? Is there anything unscrupulous individuals can do with just you signing that connection with their site?

Thanks

Great question.

Don’t do it.

If you must do it, create a ‘burner’ account and connect that.

Do you think it’s necessary to create a whole new account or would a secondary “burner” wallet with nothing in it suffice?

A burner wallet is sufficient unless you have to do more with the wallet long-term.
