Scammers on the Solana blockchain may try to trick you into approving malicious transactions. These scams often target Associated Token Accounts (ATAs)—special sub-addresses used to store specific tokens. Once compromised, scammers can drain your funds even if you disconnect the dApp. Revoking a token approval is not the same as disconnecting your wallet from a dApp.

Revoke token approvals on Solana
If you think your wallet has been compromised, you can use a trusted revoke tool to remove any suspicious permissions.
Use the Famous Foxes Revoke Tool

Recommended next steps
If your wallet was compromised, follow these steps to protect your assets:
- Create a new wallet with a new secret recovery phrase.
- Transfer all remaining assets to the new wallet.
- Stop using the compromised wallet.

Safety tips
- Ignore unsolicited NFTs or airdrops. These often include malicious links or instructions.
- Never share your secret recovery phrase. No dApp or tool should ever ask for it.
- Verify before connecting. Always double-check the legitimacy of any dApp or revoke tool before approving transactions.
