Some hours back, there are users who have lost funds due to a scam airdrop that exploits Thorchain's code base
In this sort of attack the hacker airdrops the malicious tokens to several addresses of the would be victims. In this case the malicious token that was airdropped was UNI Holding (UniH) tokens
Once the victim tries to authorize the airdropped token in order to exchange it, the victim’s address instantly gets drain off other tokens if they available in the same address. In other words, the hacker will transmit tokens from your wallet to his address without needing any private keys or seeds.
Around 2,500 ETH was lost due to the
attackSome traders also lost
RUNE tokensWays to avoid Airdrop scam losses1. Avoid participating in airdrops at all and giving out your sensitive details like email addresses and wallet addresses
This I think is the safest way to avoid scams and letting hackers get into your accounts, by far, airdrops might give you a chance to be a millionaire but if you have already built your portfolio, from investing to other coins, why not just focus on those and keep distance from the airdrop.
but if you really want to get airdrops badly I think you make a separate email and wallet for those things, just to be 100% safe,
also this one is an old trick but always scam people email links always read where it came from and never ever open it just delete suspicious emails, change your password immediately.
