Is tronlink-extension.github.io legit or a scam?
Brand-new GitHub-hosted clone of the official TronLink wallet site flagged as phishing by Fortinet and LevelBlue.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as the official TronLink browser extension for managing TRON assets and dApps, complete with matching branding and download prompts. It was registered only today, carries no contact information, and loads from a GitHub Pages subdomain rather than the legitimate tronlink.org domain. Three antivirus engines specifically labeled it malicious or phishing, while the hosting IP shows prior abuse reports. Our fingerprinting also confirms it as a direct clone of the real TronLink site using the common contactless-crypto-new-domain pattern. These signals together indicate a high-risk impersonation attempt rather than a legitimate project.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with tronlink-extension.github.io
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
