So I'm wondering, is it possible that your device could be hacked into while visiting some of the sites you are made to visit while performing some of the airdrop tasks? 

Is there a possible strategy some hackers and fraudulent people can use in harming those that are involved in the tapping thing so that if we know it we can avoid them?

Share your experience and safety tips that will help me and other new people who aren't exposed to the airdrop thing.
Yes, there is a high chance of your device getting compromised if the airdrop developer's intention is to do that. The task that they ask their users to be doing can contain phishing links that the user might not be aware of, and clicking on such links and granting them permission to certain areas of your device can make that very possible. 
 
And for airdrops that require you to connect your wallet to your dapp before you can withdraw your token from them, always make sure that you make use of a new wallet for each airdrop that you are participating in to reduce the danger, because the moment you connect your wallet to their dapp, you have endangered the wallet with whatever holdings are inside of it.
