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.
Of course they can be hacked.
Just use same reasoning as you use with any malware, but doubly so. Any site can contain malware, and when you start clicking things and connecting wallets, you should use your brain and double check the official urls, and rethink the situation.
There are also various fake telegram and discord groups impersonating the real teams and real channels with bought members from fiverr, so that they look real, and they are often scamming exactly by telling that there's a free airdrop for you. And all you get is your wallet drained. Or if it's empty, you might forget it and get it drained later on.
When dealing with cryptos, you most likely encounter hack attempts, wallet drainers and every form of scams. So basic cyber security isn't even always enough. You need to take all the possible extra steps like you were securing the state secrets. When everyone seems to get something for free, and there aren't even any decent requirements for it, it's most likely a scam. And remember that even the OGs in here have been scammed, or at least have been in danger of being scammed at some point.
