Wow, this is a very imaginative thing. I thought it only spread on links to virus sites. This market now has too many scammers and hackers. It seems that it is no longer safe and we should withdraw all the money before everything is too late.

That is why you should educate yourself, I have seen big celebrity getting their account hacked and hackers asking huge money to give their account back if you are not a popular person and you are just here to use Facebook, hackers will not likely target you, but if you are working online and an investors, you should double your effort in protecting yourself, because you will lose everything you've work for.

It's rather unfortunate that cyber criminals are always a step ahead devising means for their victims. The only way out of this impending danger is to be very careful of the links clicked while browsing and use a good anti virus that could prevent the installation of these malwares.

Indeed, we should be vigilant and not click on links that we do not recognize, especially using shortlinks. Currently many modes are used to steal coins in our wallet or use the device that we use for mining and the best alternative is not to randomly click on links on the internet

When we browse a cryptocurrency content we should really careful with any links that refers to a website that we don't know because most of cryptocurrency websites are planted with malware or phising tools that can detect our password or something that can copy their address and when we want to send balance, we will paste their website address instead of our address. So, it's really dangerous for the newbie crypto people who just invested in crypto
