Beware of HACKERS!

[Kemarit]

Airdrop has been a source of so much concern to bounty hunters. Some are scams while others if when they pay will not worth more than 5$ which is not worth the gas needed to withdraw it. Then it has been another hacking method which accounts are being compromised. They will send a phishing email of which once you click the link your  private key is gone with them and your account is naked to them. the best is to avoid airdrops totally.

Some bounty requires its participants to "deposit" certain amount of ETH to be able to withdraw their rewards. And you as participants wanted to get your reward and clicked that link and requires you to enter your private key". And there are a lot of gullible people who can easily fall for this trapped. Just your your common sense, don't send anyone your private key simple as that.

Victims of hackers is becoming more and more.People don't care about the safety of their funds falling into quite the classic schemes,sadly

People click mindlessly on all links without even wondering where they come from. By greediness, they register for crap and nothing worth airdrop, where the profit is pitifully low. Then they complain that they were robbed. It's enough to follow the basic security rules often described on the forum to avoid robbing by hackers.

These days there is a promotion of some of the erydrobates of the coins and some are victims of registration and pay the bill that the loss of his portfolio.
briefly :
When you register Airdrop and you are asked to enter your wallet or insert the private-key or click on the wallet link to make sure you complete your registration in the Airdrop, cancel your work and know that there is a theft of your data. Some scammers create a site similar to Myetherwallet.

I think you should bookmark online wallet to avoid phishing attack.
Alway check green bar ssl and do not use vpn to connect to your online wallet because it is bot safe.

It is a common thing. Hackers was and always will be. That or another way, in every kind of things, where money is involved, there will be a group of people, that will be trying to steal your money.

Rule number one, which covers all the ground rules to avoid hackers are to never disclose any personal information while dealing in crypto. No matter what, if any identification number such as the wallet's ID is asked, just avoid it. For example some airdrops provide link to your wallets. do not proceed further with these.

Really we should be more conscious from the hackers because with the every passing day they are creating new techniques of hacking so, we need to think one step ahead from them.

I was a victim of airdrop scam, I didn't know until I started seeing transactions from my wallet. It taught me a huge lesson, these days I don't take part in airdrops because the risk is more than the benefit.

[AfterHot542]

Hacker are the big problem in this cyber and crypto world and we need to take necessary step and also always be aware of them always.

[robertsu]

Is very interesting for me, on the myetherwallet, a hacker who doesn't have a file with a purse, can to get a access the funds if he has a password and a purse address?

[Mrconnect]

Personally, I dont get involved in anything that requires me to share my passkey. Seeing that alone is a no no for me. i think everyone should know that. You do not have to share your passkey with anyone for any reason whatsoever. Be it airdrop, bounty, or KYC.

[ExpediteStyle201]

Very informative and important article. If hackers become successful then will will lost everything so, it is better to make our security as hard as we can.
