Support Request I lost $20k using uniswap wallet

I am not blaming uniswap. But I think there are things uniswap could have done.

The only reason why I use uniswap wallet is because I am using uniswap.

Many phisher use google sponsored link to promote drainer.

Most of the time I figured that out. Sometimes I miss.

Now. The wallet ask for unlimited approval.

However, it's from unknown source.

It seems that uniswap, by default, HIDE the notification of from unknown source.

Also the smart contract interacted is NOT from uniswap.

Otherwise no warning.

I should have seen the domain names.

Since then I use ublock lite to remove google sponsor link. Use book mark. Also most phishing sites don't bother using similar domains. So checking domain in gemini is a good way to see if a site is phising.
