Six people were arrested in the Netherlands and the UK over a $27 million "typosquatting" scam, which involved making a fake website to gain access to user Bitcoin wallets.
Again, crime in the cryptocurrency world is very easy to do. In addition to scammers who deceive their victims to gain profit, hackers are no less. They use various methods to earn money as much as possible. In fact, this crime is not difficult to do among countries, yes, because this is cryptocurrency, digital system. In my opinion, maybe there are still many scammers and other hackers who are still operating. And maybe even the victims are still not aware of it. So, watch out!
...Such kind of incidents are only lowering down the reputation of cryptocurrencies in general...
That's right. For people who have been in the crypto for several times, this may be familiar and be one of the risks that may be faced. But for common people, this has become one of the bad images of the crypto world, which may further make them stay away for fear of the incident. In fact, this is only one risk. There are still many advantages to cryptocurrency that can be obtained. However, these advantages seem to be covered by issues like this.
This is great news.Obviously,not all hackers and scammers are located in third world countries and North Korea.
Right, we don't even know who they are, maybe they are around us and we don't realize it. And we only find out after it was exposed. Like what happened in my country a few months ago that horrendous our country.
