Airdrop has been buzzing lately and for some of us who haven't been involved in it before now, some of the tasks we're required to perform are new to us and we just flow along with what people are doing without knowing the potential danger that is associated with doing some of that task. Specifically, a particular airdrop, "Blum" displayed and posted on her telegram story that it had been hacked, and then the option to continue tapping remained intact while the gaming pattern changed. Plus sometimes you're just required to visit their site without knowing what it means.

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.
If you are going to try to claim airdrops, good luck with that, then you need to do it in a device in which you do not have any of your wallets installed, you have never accessed some sort of service which has your banking data and you have never stored any personal information there, if you can do that then even if you were hacked you will not lose any important information, anything other than that and you are playing with fire and most likely you will lose anything of value you store in that device.
