According to CZ the ceo of Binance and one name that commands respect across the cryptocurrency arena, he in a recent post via his X(formally twitter) account drew people’s attention to a big crypto news handle getting hacked.
I checked the hacked account and it has been running since 2018 and has been a top source for cryptocurrency news to many, even if it is Chinese many people including Nigerians may use translator to source some of their cryptocurrency news from this account.
As CZ rightly warned at this time it is dangerous to click link from that account.
What I make up from this is that we need to be shine our eyes, even if na news outlet way you trust you can still get dangers from there.
1. Train yourself to research on news you see. You can use the route of verifying a news against other news outlets, if a news is big there are chances that other sources will also pick up a news
2. I Dey like read comments and remark on a news because people fit share useful things for you in the comments section
3. Your wallet device should not be same device you use randomly like checking news, chatting with people and so on and so forth.
4. 2FA authentication go help you well to have
We crave for news to help us with critical moves in cryptocurrency and scammers are aware of this so we should apply our brain well.
