Be safe from Hackers

[SuperMariob]

There is a very easy rule to follow in crypto:
- When something seems too nice to be true...well, it's because it's not true or is a scam. Stay safe

[Rockstarguy]

One of the ways to be safe from social media is always to get in mind that social media is a place where some set of people are working day and night just for people to fall into their trap.

Their are many links in social media that are not trusted,  that if it should be clicked on can hack devices to get personal information,  one  just have to be very careful that their is nothing free to get in social media,  it is important not to allow offers to let us fall for scammers to get us.

I have to say the bigger the name gets the bigger the hackers would get away with it. For example I have a twitter account as well, and if any hacker ever wanted to hack my account with 9 followers, they probably could and it wouldn't be hard for them at all and what would they get in return? Spending hours on hacking a worthless account with absolutely nothing in it. That is why they do not do it, it makes no sense to them at all and they would rather do something else.

I know this is why that I could feel relaxed about it, because it is not going to be something that would bother me, it would be something that bothers these big names instead, people or organizations.

Even if some official social media account of any of the institution promote cryptocurrencies, giveaways or NFT, don't fall for it. By the time make a clear analysis and go further. Yesterday the British Army's Social media accounts were hacked and more scams were promoted. It is always good to stay safe as hackers are always in search of possible ways to scam common people.

Hackers have become smarter these days that even those high rank individuals of an institution get to be lured and scammed not because they are not wise enough, its just that hackers are also using fast technology that could take advantage even the most brilliant and smartest individual or even the most solid institution. To be safe from hackers, never click any strange website because it could be the key to disclose all the information you have. And always be responsible for the safety of all accounts, such that passwords and seed phrases should never be shared to anyone.

It happened so many times now, Social media who has a lot of followers and subscribers are prone in hacking. Hackers will drain the amount of money that your account have if it has a revenue and will post some suspicious links such phishing sites and other hacking website that will be a guide to turn the hacked account followers into victims. This also happened lately on BAYC instagram hack where hundreds of eth and couple of NFT were collected by the hacker. These hacks were common in all social media, even discord and youtube are being hacked to be taken advantage of hackers.

Just be careful on interacting on suspicious websites and too good to be true offers in the internet.

Don't trust ANYONE even if it was coming from a known social media account unless it was verified already because of too many cases that many were hacked already. Scams are sprouting nowadays, we should be aware of their dirty tactics and never get fooled by their promising words. We indeed can fight them and able to minimize their functions if we are also helping others by spreading awareness to the community. We need to be vigilant enough, otherwise.

Unfortunately, there is not 100% safe in the network or in online work. There will always be even a small gap for hackers to be able to enter, disrupt, steal, and hack a site, wallet, platform, device, or anything else. Let alone those of us who don't really have a strong security system, official government sites, and certain platforms that have a high level of security can still be hacked.
This is a warning for us to be more careful in any case. Especially not to let hackers know about our whereabouts, our wallets, or our existence and the number of our assets. Indeed, this may not be easy, but we can prevent it by not disseminating our assets or our crypto activities, especially on social media. In addition, we are also more careful to click on suspicious links.

[dansus021]

I just want to add some advice that you need to check:

• after guys all above me said that don't click any link that gives by a stranger is very true and never approve it
• too good to be true if someone stranger gives you a lot of money
• if you are still curious double-check the website and check it on WHO.IS so you know piece information about the website if the web relative young never visit
• never fall if there is someone DM you need some help and send you a chunk of BITCoin to your email and they can't withdraw it happen all the time

Hackers are everywhere. So, it is important for traders and investors to be aware of their methodologies to avoid getting scammed.

[Rufsilf]

Hacking social media account have no joke at all, it continues to grow and a lot of known personalities become a victim. This was an indication that we no longer assure the safety of our accounts as one day we might fall into their hands and ruin our reputation in public by using this to scam people.

At this time, we have to be more careful dealing with other personalities especially online transactions as we never know who is that person behind that account. We simply put everything in cautious action, we just proceed once verified and confirmed by the original owner. And we also have to dig deeper to see changing behavior as it was a sign of changing hands.

I used to feel the best Cybersecurity experts are in the Army and now my assumptions has been proven void. Falling for this cyber attack is like a bridge of trust for a common person. Although if the Army chose to do an NFT giveaway to those the defend it is not a bad idea but making their database vulnerable to attack tell bad on their reputation as it concerns their security against the Digital Dark Art.

Double checking links and keeping your keys far from their servers and possibly using newly created email for most of this tempting giveaways can save people from this Callous and malicious attacks

If it requires you to connect your wallet to receive those free crypto or nft from a website link that they will give, then it is likely a scam. Once you connect your wallet, they will have access on your private key and can steal your assets anytime they want. Refrain also from downloading any files if they told you to claim your prize.

The scammers might have studied it well and succeeded it after a long term preparation. So that's how scammers are very hands on to their operation so that their target will finally bite it with just a single mistake. Now i realized that when it comes to scamming, no one is an exemption. Even armies these days fall to their traps, and if we continue taking every chance to do carelessness, scammers in the end will build the biggest wealth in the world.

It’s very suspicious to see a giveaway launch on official government social media account especially if it’s involved crypto and providing private key to there registration form. Hacker can hack almost anyone on social media if they will allocate resources on it so it’s important for people to educate about this kind of scam scheme to avoid being a victim in the future. I believe many newbie fall victim on this especially those follower of that particular page because it looks legit at first glance and if you didn’t know exactly how this kind of modus work.

Most of the time, those who looks too good to be true are mostly the one with red flags that make it as scams. Sadly, only few people have realized this and that it takes a wise and knowledgeable individual not to fall for victims from scamming. But as they say, the more knowledgeable we become, scammers have always taken an edge. They can always be more than we can expect.

This is why we have to be very observant and careful with our every move once in the internet because scammers/hackers nowadays are getting better almost everyday. It's better if we practice how to safely use the internet to avoid such people in the internet or better to do the basic safety guidelines to avoid scammers/hackers. Let's just educate ourselves if we want to really avoid these bad people because most of the time newbies were only the first victim they will get.

Agree. Don't easily be influenced by any crypto promotions although they are published by popular social media. Scammers can hack or imitate top social media accounts. Scammers are getting smarter, they know how to get people's intentions in varied ways. It is actually not surprising if British Army social media account was hacked, it's not happening for the first time. There have been many cases of hacking top social media accounts before, verified status doesn't guarantee being safe from hackers. So, if any top social media tries to promote cryptos suddenly, we can suspect there is something wrong with that account. Especially since the account never posted anything about crypto previously and has nothing to do with crypto world.

If one is being observant and careful enough, there are things that by just getting on them you will discover such to be suspicious and call for alarm, how will you believe seeing a shitpost from a well reputable person of integrity with high profile and just concluded believing in everything written, there's a phrase been said that is common, _ by their fruits we shall know them" you need to verify things of uncertainties before accepting the authenticity, call to confirm, research about it, and think twice before talking a single step that could landed into problem.

The bottom line is, don't easily trust anyone on the internet and that should be a warning to everyone. Social media accounts of famous people are targeted for hacking because hackers know what they want to get out of it. This is why anyone starting to get involved in the crypto world should be extra careful with any offer, even if it comes from a famous person. But sometimes people are so greedy about money that they don't want to do any verification before they get swayed by an attempted scam or something.

I do not trust a lot of giveaways these days now. Although that could be a negative mindset, I have far more better stuffs to pursue and invest my time for anyway. Sure, I could have missed out opportunities, but surely my security is far more valued than just these giveaways.
Either way, social media accounts are not meant to be private nor secured anyway.

Depends on giveaways since there are legitimately held by real platform and they didn't ask anything in return just for you to participate so its good to join them since we get chance to win without spending. But there are made for scam and used hack accounts and we should start to doubt if they ask something important information like our private key or ask some money because this is pure BS since for sure they will just scam people who believe on their scam promotion.
