Basic rules don't change

• Be careful with any link or email from strangers or strange sources, especially if it contains financial incentives.
• Don't click on strange link if you can not verify its source

• Keep your mind neutral and avoid being greed with invitation from strangers

Damn! Hack means they have very bad password and very bad security. In addition, this account belongs to British Army that is a very bad news. How a governmental, army force can have too bad security like that?

Its so sad, I mean if a country's ARMY account hacked, then what else is remaining. Then where is the common people security. Need to be very secure and  understand how accounts can be hacked?

This is the same of what I remember about a teen that has hacked all of those famous celebrities twitter accounts.

Big money were able to scam from their followers and the tactic was very simple and popular. But their followers have believed the scam because it was posted on these official accounts of popular personalities.

This was the news back then --> https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56429204

Facebook & Twitter treat them as any ordinary account, and have lax security measures for them.

They can simply place extra security measures - an extra ring of defense - after those accounts log in, like Twitter did with Trump's account (which was ultimately a wasted effort, as they banned him a few years later).

[Pmalek]

I can't help but laugh at this. The British Army minting their own NFT collection and giving away free Bitcoin through Bitcoin doublers. They should have posted a fake "join the army" campaign and promised 1 BTC for all new recruits. I wonder how many would have signed up. Data harvesting at its best.

No matter who promises to give your free money, they are lying. If you think like that, you can't fall for any kind of online scams.

Such problems are more common in telegram . Scammers are constantly promoting different types of phishing links and different types of scam token sale and they put these links in the telegram and it is seen that after 2-3 days they delete their telegram account. We must be careful of these

[lovesmayfamilis]

There is one easy way out of here. Social media is evil. Check the news from official sources, not places where anyone can call themselves Elon Musk or anyone else.

In addition, what makes you think that now, and especially now at a time of terrible prices when almost everyone has begun to save a lot, a gift promising a big prize will fly to you? A prize means some sort of free giveaway.

Does anyone else believe in miracles? Then let them not be disappointed when their wallets are empty, or accounts are broken.

Being safe and guarded is an utmost self-care. The rate at which scammers operate these days is becoming worrisome. There's no way to stop it rather precautionary measure be put in place to be on the safer side. As a digital guru, you should know that unknown links are very suspicious and should be wiped off immediately you encounter such in your mailbox, don't click on links your are not sure of, when typing on search box, type complete and don't autofill to avoid phishing, delete immediately email not recognized.

There's no exclusion when it comes to this on where everything could be hacked as long it do touches out internet things whether you are a big institution or not or something popular or not then there's always a

chance for those accounts to get hacked or exploited which can be used on other means like scamming and its just sad that there are people who do really still fall into those common way of scamming
which it do usually pertains about investment schemes turns out to be falling in category of hype or something in related which followers and audiences could really fall into that trap.

thats why its always been suggested to have that common sense that whenever things offered turns out to be good to be true then its 100% a scam.

No wonder people will believe what scammers tweeted because the real owner of the account was a Bitcoin enthusiast and in Tesla promoter as well.  Her name is Cathie Wood which is considered a high-profile name in British Army.

Have you noticed that the scammer's target is those high-profile names on social media, this isn't new, last year there were a few scams on tweeter compromised high-profile accounts on Twitter?  We should be taking care of our account's safe, double security is a must because nowadays, scammers are getting smarter than us.

I'd also like to add that do not believe anyone with your private keys. And do not believe anything and everything you see or hear on the internet.

At the present people are more conscious than before but still being hacked and will be in the future. If you do not want to be a victim of hackers, you must pay attention to the security issues. This type of attack is more common in people who are particularly unconscious about this security. So if you do not want to be a victim of hacking, provide the necessary security as soon as possible. Not just on social media but in everything like wallet or online purpose which are belongs to you.

It doesn't even make sense when you see some institutions promoting or doing crypto giveaways, this should immediately pronounce a scam to all but I still say it is because of the greed of humans that makes people still fall for things like that.
And the second Issue is that you would have expected the media accounts of an institute like the British Army to be well secured, I guess everyone is vulnerable to these hackers.

[ImThour]

Cyber attacks are very common and the best step to keep yourself safe is to not use your crypto wallet on the system which you use for browsing and work.

Keep your wallet on a different system, I am sure it costs way less to get yourself a secondary system which should be cut down from the internet.

That's the best way to secure your crypto.

This is exactly why I created the following thread, in hopes that people (mostly newbies who do not really understand the dangers that they are in, yet) would take my advice seriously: very simple OPSEC tips of my own on how to keep your coins safe

I highly recommend everyone to at least skim through the text and try to remember it the next time they are putting themselves in financial danger. Especially in the realm of crypto, where scammers are abundant and extremely clever.

Although this is meant for crypto newbies, I am amazed at the lax security of the British Army. Its an embarrassment, if you ask me.

The Twitter account hacking is common practice we have seen in recent years and especially they are promoting some crypto related malicious links or scams to empty your wallets.Like in previous years we have seen Elon Musk account hacked and giving double doge for your deposit or Apple official account was promoting this add :



And if you want to see more then here is the list : Twitter account hijacking 20202

But the security at your end should not be compromised at all like :

You should not fall for such scams easily and do little research first of all

Don't be greedy like getting double amounts of what you submit to those addresses as there is nothing like this in world

What you see on the internet might not be true so try to find out the reality first of all.

Its so sad, I mean if a country's ARMY account hacked, then what else is remaining. Then where is the common people security. Need to be very secure and  understand how accounts can be hacked?

Twitter has security for these accounts but you can see they take it down when there are some reports or they find something suspicious like account hack but you should be careful in these matters like why would British Army be involving in some NFT giveaway or crypto part as it sounds suspicious to me when I read it and that's security on your part.

To many famous social media accounts has been hack recently and this kind of news is not new so newbies need to be aware on this since they might get fooled about crazy fake promotions posted by hacked accounts online. We should be more vigilant since its easy to spot a scam since if those influential guys is not into crypto but suddenly their channel post a giveaway then we should doubt about the intention of the poster.

Using the term "sent your btc to this address" is an old trick to scam people and always works perfectly from time to time. New people to bitcoin will try it and hope they can get the reward that is too good to be true. The bitcoin doublers program also works like a charm to attract people's attention and get their money. Maybe some people can really get the reward but do not know how many of them will get the scam. Yes, we need to be safe from hackers by always being careful if we read something suspicious.

I know that hackers are smarter than we can ever imagine but how will they have an access to my system even when I'm using it for browsing and my crypto wallet stuff if I don't view any link shared by them? Am asking to know more because I am the only one that operates my system.  I have never thought about getting another one for my crypto business since I don't have difficulties in the one I git now, I will like to know the dangers of browsing and keeping my crypto wallet in my personal system.
