Just read through some multiple X handles now that Microstrategy’s X account had been hacked and tweet was done citing the claiming of the $MSTR tokens. As usual the link was a wallet drainer link and around $400k has been lost so far. Currently the tweet seems to have been deleted from the account but it’s deed has already been done.
There is daily continue warning of just clicking links as a bitcoin or cryptocurrency investors but yet many people actually continue fall victim for something I will say as a result of gullibility or greed.
The points from this phishing attack just like others is;
1. Make use of cold wallets; this shouldn’t be put on a second thought.
2. Do not trust any information from social media even if it is from an influencer account or an official account, verify, verify and verify your information.
3. If you are to engage on airdrops use a burner wallet at all cost.
They are big player in the industry but somehow got caught by this hacking incident and this determine that no one is safe if they are not careful upon handling their wallets especially upon clicking any links they see online.
2. Do not trust any information from social media even if it is from an influencer account or an official account, verify, verify and verify your information.
Lots of cases where accounts of well known social media personalities got hack and spread something malicious link that can harm those people following them that's why its really better for us to verify on what are we seeing coming from them especially those links they are posting so that we can avoid any potential hacking that might happen to us. But this is Microstrategy they should know more better and avoid those hacking.
3. If you are to engage on airdrops use a burner wallet at all cost.
Lots of airdrops has been launch recently that's why its important for us to know the risk about participating on that activities so that these hackers will not penetrate and drain our wallets. Burner wallets is recommended so that they cannot take all of our balance if there's something bad happen to us.
