How to avoid malicious Lightning Network invoices:

1. Verify the payment amount and description: Before making a payment, verify that the payment amount and description match the expected values. If an invoice includes incorrect or misleading information, it may be a sign that the invoice is malicious.

2. Check the payment hash: Each Lightning invoice includes a payment hash that is used to validate the payment. Before making a payment, verify that the payment hash matches the expected value. If the payment hash does not match, it may be a sign that the invoice is malicious.

3. Check the invoice source: Verify that the invoice is from a trusted source. If the invoice is from an unknown or untrusted source, it may be a sign that the invoice is malicious.

4. Use a Lightning wallet with built-in security features.

5. Keep your wallet and device secure.

Think I'm going to create simple script that does listed things above for you as a double check when you are 50/50.

X amount of previous experience made me wrote this even if everything is "100%" secure and whatever.

Please update this or edit if I'm wrong.
