Are airdrops safe?

[Burogh]

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.

Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?

I think as long as our private key is safe and we don't share it with others, our wallet will remain safe. In my opinion, airdrop will be safe as long as we do not share important data such as private keys, but it will be safer if we do not follow suspicious airdrops.

I have participated in so many airdrops  and  not at all are safe and most probably they are scam.As long as we keep our private keys and all our data especially bank account or personal data we are safe to those scammer.

The airdrops I have been involved in are the type that always stay around some.fixed balance. They no longer profits as old members have said in some.threads I have read earlier, the more the industry is open to all the more we are going to see shitcoins airdrops, there maybe good airdrops but will be difficult.

I have not found a dangerous Airdrop like that, maybe a privacy problem that worries me, because many Airdrops ask for KYC, I'm just afraid of being abused

I sometimes participate in airdrop, but if I find any that asks for KYC, no matter how good it appears, I will not do if.
Back in the days of good airdrops, there was no fear in participating in them, until scammers started taking advantage of it.

not all airdrops are safe because some of them required you to put private keys and some required you to download software or apps to get your tokens that possible contain a malware.. stay away with these kind of airdrops.  

[wiepers]

yes, an airdrop is very safe. There is nothing you need to worry about the airdrop. Most importantly, you find out first whether the airdrop you want to do is correct or not. From the case you explained, there doesn't seem to be anything like it if you provide security in your bitcoin wallet.

Airdrop is not dangerous. The airdrop program is a quick completion program. As long as I participate in the airdrop program, I have never found one asking to sign a message or something.

Most airdrops are just useless to participate so we are wasting our time by joining on these airdrops.

If an airdrop ask you to pay some eth as transaction fee or they ask for any kind of your wallet keys then they are scammers.

I only say that airdrops are harmless and I have never found anyone asking for anything. But I agree if you say if an airdrop asks for something including a wallet key is a scammer.

Airdrop is easy to work with and not as complex as other Bounty programs. So that I work on Airdrop is very safe. It's just that some Airdrop projects don't give great results. An Airdrop is as dangerous as you intended. I guess never met that.

[thesosorr]

in detail really will sign a permanent transaction, because overall the water drop continues to run as usual, which gives us unceasing ease to sign several strings.

Doing airdrop is easy. Like doing some tasks that are given in general. For results it seems like everyone will never know, as long as you participate in an airdrop on a good project, of course the results will be good too. What is said to be safe is like airdrop via e-mail which includes dangerous links or kyc in airdrop and also like asking for your wallet's private key. as it is meant safe.

Not all airdrops are safe. Among them there are fraudulent projects, so you need to be vigilant, carefully study these projects before you begin to participate in it.
 

and what they are dangerous, I do not understand you? After all, to participate in the airfields do not need to send any personal or secret information. It is quite safe and do not be afraid to participate in airdrop. At most, it will ask to subscribe to their Twitter, Facebook, telegram. Such airfields most. And where they ask KYC can not participate, it's your right.

kyc information leak certainly exists, but there are also usual hacks of social networks where the data also come from, so everywhere there are risks

[Kezacky]

I don't think it's safe, most of them are just cheats and tokens that are generated from airdrops are totally worthless. and not even worth your work. I personally learned from past experience when following airdrops did not produce good results, the price of small tokens and some were spam.

I can't believe in airdrops now a days. Because fake people using it for their own marketing by doing some tasks. Maximum airdrops can't bring anything for the participants.
That's why, I don't believe in airdrops though still some are doing good but the amount is very low and very difficult to find out

[hahay]

Sending all btc for airdrop program? I think the airdrop program does not require a fee to get rewards so why would we send all btc to them even though it was a signed transaction but I am not sure it will go well and very high risk. So, whether or not the airdrop program is safe depends and at least there will be risks that require us to be more careful.

Airdrop is safe provided you follow safety measures of not exposing your wallet keys in the airdrop forms. Except you send a transaction, you can't sign it. Airdrop is free not requiring any transaction whatsoever.

Some airdrops are there just to get hold of your details like email and start using it to open accounts or trying to login to your account. I don't think there is a need to sign a transaction for airdrop except maybe I haven't come across them

[sandra_x]

It is not really about airdrops only but about downloading any suspicious or malicious link on your PC, it could make your system vulnerable to attacks. Generally, you should get some sort of warning if your firewall is active, Also, never ever fill in your private keys in any one or airdrop

[103deltafox]

Most are safe but the rewards are so low but be very careful with those airdrop form that will give some outrageous rules before airdrop would be sent to your wallet. Also be mindful of some links you sign-up on, some could be phishing.
