hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .

If you just open that email and don't click/download any attachment then I cant see a reasons that you would be hacked out by someone.This is why we should really be careful on downloading things on pc, executable files will run if you don't have an antivirus that can detect those malwares. Private keys cant be hacked if you don't disclose it into public. Unless if you got phished then 100% you will be hacked.

that exactly what happened with me i thougt the email is to confirmed or somthing like that but It turned out to be the wrong Undecided

but i learned from my mistake

Then what happened after you click such link? As long you didn't input something or download then you didn't commit any mistake.

Airdrops wont get your private keys,normally they will just require you to fill up some form with your bitcontalk account,wallet address and optional with email addresses you can use dummy email address so that you wont receive phishing emails from these people,do not waste your time with these stupid airdrops instead join bounty programs.

Some airdrops requires you to provide private keys and that's a clear scam because in the first place you should not give not key to anyone. Giving your email is ok but don't ever download anything from that site because you might really got scammed if you do better to be safe than to get some shit coin that don't have any value after all.

Even just on common sense you will able to identify if a thing is a pure scam or not. We do know that private keys is the most important information/access to our wallets and even creating our wallet in first place do have caution about on keeping it for yourself which means theres no reason that you haven't told or being reminded in relation with it.Keys is on your full responsibility don't give it to anybody no matter what.
