One constant fact that I've noticed since I got into crypto is that the moment a project or a company starts getting popular or begins to gain a huge follower base, it starts to attract scammers like Sugar to ants.
It honestly gets annoying after a while, I can't join a Telegram or Discord group without being DMed by a dozen of them, fake links flying here and there. A recent example is Bitget releasing a couple of articles to inform their users about phishing and a particular malicious browser extension named "AggrTrade". I've seen similar notifications from Binance, bybit also telling their users to be careful
Still, I guess we can only just remain careful to avoid falling victim to scammers after all there isn’t much that can be done. What have you guys been doing to keep your assets safe though? Drop some comments, let's learn.
Tbh I've learnt a lot from this thread, but I feel mor sensitization is meant to be done and I'll say it's cool that Bitget, binance, bybiy and some others are posting timely reminders. Saw someone on X that lost $150k to a wallet hack quite painful..
For me I don't click on it external links
I double check before doing anything
I have two separate wallets.. and more. These guide might help.
