Not if you have your authenticator apps encrypted with strong password. They can't clone anything if they can't log in into the app, but for the sim it's quite easy since most people don't even set a sim pin code.

Also, it's advised to have 2FA apps in a different device from your log in device.

Just to inform you. I see most members have suggested Blockfolio here, It got acquired by FTX and now the app is called FTX if you search it up on Google play

There are more apps that can enable to track your portfolio without much hassle.
1. Delta portfolio manager (https://delta.app/en)
2. Bituniverse (https://www.bituniverse.org)
3. 3commas - it's a trading bot app but has an option to watch your portfolio (https://3commas.io)
4. coinstats (https://coinstats.app)
5. The crypto app (https://thecrypto.app)

SIM cloning, SIM swap scam, SIM hijacking, port-out scam, SIM splitting, Smishing... it's all the same thing, just different wording, and it can happen to anyone especially in places where telecom companies are not security conscious or if the SIM swapping personnel working for telecom companies decide to conspire with the scammers.

I couldn't resist adding this here 

From their twitter Bio:



Peckshield inc has a breakdown of the tokens that we drained out of the exchange. Most tweeps believe it might be an exit scam.

What's funny is that right when the address was being drained, ZB exchange sent the very address some 30.99 Ether and 10,000 USDT which was also sent out immediately. How dumb 
https://etherscan.io/address/0xe019d99f9fe03dc5661ad4bb19f9db88d9fa0a62

There is still some 4.966 Ether in the address, maybe the hackers have had enough? From what I know, hackers are usually so greedy.

The type of exchange you feel more comfortable with. Both have advantages and disavantages

Centralized exchange
Pros
1. High liquidity
2. Low trading fees

Cons
1. Can block user funds and demand for KYC
2. Some have very high listing fees
3. High withdrawal fees for some asses
4. Users could easily lose money if the exchange shuts down

Decentralized changes
Pros
1. Users have control of their funds
2. No KYC
3. No exaggerated withdrawal fees
4. No listing fees

Cons
1. Low liquidity and trading volumes
2. High trading fees due to high chain gas fees

The wallet has an option to back up seeds and I think that's what OP should do. Retrieve the backup seed and the import it to electrum, and he's good to go. If he wants to use the exchange part, then he will have no choice except verify.

I think you are going to have to apply for signature campaign yourself instead of making an announcement here. That way you stand a higher chance of getting into a campaign. Keep track of this thread Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns [Last update: 30-July-22]

Also clear up the air and prove that you ae still in control of your account by signing a message from your old staked address rather than the new one. Campaign managers tend to prefer associating with members whose reputation is clean.

That's very sad to know. The site is scam.

sometimes google can be so annoying. They don't bother tagging the site as scam/suspicious/phishing even when reported, but I have done my part to report them.

I think reporting the fraud to the domain registrars would also be a good idea.

Nubitcoinerr posted another address sometime back in this very thread. I am not sure if it's a better idea for him to first sign a message from the first address proving that he is still in control of the account.

What I mean is that I do trade (day trading different coin pairs) and then when I make any profits, I use them to buy RVN and any coins a feel will do well in the next bull market.

Of course, it's not a magic trick  , Sometimes I do make losses in trading too, but I have a risk management strategy in place to avoid blowing off my account to zero.

Just asking, was it the first time USDT lost its peg to the US Dollar? If no, then what makes you think this is the last time such a thing happened, and we won't see such an issue again in the near future.

USDT's "depegged" or "repegging" has nothing to do with people's trust towards Bitcoin or Ether.

WARNING

The scammer above is posting scam coin mixer sites. Do not send any coins to any of the above sites, or that will be the last time you own them

If I understood your query correctly, I doubt if there is any website that automatically checks or verifies the validity of project white paper. As far as I know if you have some technical knowledge, you can verify if the projects is real or fake especially if the scammers have just plagiarized the white paper. It gets harder if they haven't plagiarized the white paper or created a fake team.

I do see so many members expose fraudulent projects in the scam accusations board by manually reviewing them.

I believe you are on the right path, OP. Just don't sell them at discount price. If the next bull run happens, you are in for a big kill. POW coins like ETC and RVN are showing some signs of what it may look like after ETH goes POS

I wasn't able to mine RVN, but I am trying to accumulate as much as I can via trading.

Quick tip.

Don't always wait for those round figures. There's what we call psychological resistance. Always sell off before an apparent psychological resistance level. For Doge, it was $1, For BTC it was $70K, for ETH it was $5K. None of the prices of those coins got to the psychological resistance levels

Well, it depends on one's strategy. DCA is considered to be a very good strategy for those who don't have time to day-trade but do have some money to invest periodically, but not everyone can do it.

I, for one, don't do DCA, I prefer intraday or day trading and then accumulating some coins during the bear market for long term.

Most importantly, do not use Blockchain wallet. So many people have been tricked in the past thinking they have already received Bitcoins in their Blockchain wallet even before the transaction is confirmed, only for it to be double spent.

Use better noncustodial wallets like electrum

Also remember that once you borrow fiat, you are giving the lender opportunity to make way much money using your collateral (Bitcoin) on top of charging you very high interest rates. If anything goes wrong and you default the loan, your valuable Bitcoins are gone.

I would rather sell a small portion of my bitcoins for survival, while I keep the rest for the future.

As of now it's still an ERC20 token, which means with the current high ETH gad prices its still not a suitable payment option as compared to the likes of Doge. Maybe if they create their own blockchain or when ETH goes POS. Things might get a little good.

I still think it's one of those tokens where one can easily make x10 ROI if the bull market is back.

Thanks for that ride through the daydream/Night dream. Easier said than done. If this kind of strategy made wonders, I doubt if you would be here wasting time posting about how it works

In fact, why don't you show us how the strategy has made you lots of money for a start?

It's probably because your Terra station wallet is set to mainnet by default. Try changing to the Classic network by clicking on the settings button and see if the coins appear in your wallet.

The password helps encrypt your wallet if someone accesses your device and tried to access your wallet. Private key won't help with that kind of security.
