Almost $1 million was phished from Electrum Wallet owners

Hackers set up a number of fake websites, identical to the official Electrum site, and used them to phish out two-factor authentication codes, applying them to access and empty out personal accounts of Electrum clients.

Attacks on private wallets are much less frequent than those affiliating cryptocurrency exchanges. Use hardware wallets or cold storages to keep your crypto funds safe!

Google Ads may have blacklisted all keywords containing Ethereum

According to the experience of one startup, Google has banned all ads containing a keyword Ethereum. All cryptocurrency related advertising was banned by Google in March 2018. Some crypto related campaigns have since been restored to a degree, allowing crypto-exchanges to advertise in USA and Japan.

Regardless, traditional ad platforms such as Google remain highly ineffective and unreliable channels for crypto projects, as opposed to very effective specifically designed advertising networks, not unlike AB-CHAIN

What is holding the crypto market back?

According to Forbes, some of the reasons why the cryptocurrency market can’t reach its full potential are:

1 The interconnection of coin prices that make risk management almost impossible – if one asset in the portfolio drops, likely all others will too;
2 High amount of ICO scams;
3 Limited ways of making profit that are becoming less and less effective;
4 Lack of strategy when it comes to return on investment predictions.
5 The inability of crypto exchanges to provide adequate liquidity.

Despite the problems, millions of people are getting into the crypto market and with the focus on real-world application, stability and adoption we are sure to see our field succeed in the long run.
