This is silly. Most likely because of their mistakes people accidentally send private keys from their wallet. Moreover, we are small people who have nothing to steal. And even more so to guess the key of 64 characters is almost impossible.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

If there are 100 airdrop 60-70 of them try to steal your funds bro. I use my rpi for airdrops mail and I'm relax with that.

Seriously?
But I think it depends on information that you will give from any site, in that way there's a big chance to steal your funds. The better you should do is don't just clicking any link that someone's give because there's possibility that is the way to hack.

hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .

Airdrop scams are increasing nowadays since it is very accessible and easy to most cryptocurrency traders who are looking for easy profit plus its normal for some airdrops to ask informations which can easily be altered by phishing sites. I suggest that you participate airdrops carefully and maybe join the telegram group first and observe the community.

unknown through the mail or not to pump out the information, but it is better to keep valuable data not in the computer. I have all the most important things on a removable media , not even one .

Oh,thanks for the information! Another proof that joining airdrops is a waste of time and energy. I have decided for myself long ago not to them, instead I prefer participating in bounty campaignes. It takes more efforts, but the result is better!

Do not waste your time in airdrops wont get your private keys,normally they will just require you to fill up some form with your bitcontalk account,wallet address and optional with email addresses you can use dummy email address so that you wont receive phishing emails from these people.
Start doing bounties Bro  Smiley

It's not silly, and you're not even close to how people steal files and password information. The likely guess is that the email may contain a link to a website that has an exploit kit on it, delivering an encrypted botnet payload designed to steal wallet files and keylog the passwords.

Also the airdrops wallets they tell you to download may just have an encrypted botnet bind on the file as well that executes hidden when the other file executes.

I do not even know how this can happen. I do not send my personal keys to anyone. Perhaps they are just trained to receive very personal information without our permission.

Everyone who has some stake and has invested in crypto should be on the look out for scammers as they are everywhere. Some have schemes that they have come up with to get people to put their private keys into phishing sites and then they steal all of their crypto. Everyone needs to be very careful, crypto is very safe on its own but scammers and hackers are what make it dangerous
