From 2d7ddf45d66ebe417db15526d442a269c3b4f070 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Elwell Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2018 16:52:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] change wording of phishing notice, due to EIP 1102 (#5819) With the EIP 1102 updates, MetaMask *does* now open itself when visiting some websites. Changed the wording here to clarify that MetaMask will not open itself to ask you for your seed phrase. --- notices/archive/notice_4.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/notices/archive/notice_4.md b/notices/archive/notice_4.md index c7a5f83a9..afe29eed2 100644 --- a/notices/archive/notice_4.md +++ b/notices/archive/notice_4.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ Dear MetaMask Users, -There have been several instances of high-profile legitimate websites such as BTC Manager and Games Workshop that have had their websites temporarily compromised.
