"NFT artist Princess Hypio lost $170,000 in crypto and NFTs after a scammer convinced her to download a game on Steam.
The game itself was safe, but an infected server allowed hackers to gain full access to the device and wallets.
This is apparently an avoidable mistake that would have been done if only she was always conscious of her safety at all times. But however, it's quite sad that Princess Hypio had to lose over $170,000, which is actually over 2 Bitcoins in both crypto and NFTs after accidentally trusting a scammer she met on Discord who was able to convinced her to download a game on Steam, and eventually store her money. Because it is actually scenarios like this that makes people never to trust anybody among the crypto community, which is actually bad. Because for this lady to have agreed to download the game he sent her, it's obvious a level of trust must have been built between their two, which ended sadly. And as such, it's only wise if everybody who has this crypto assets on the same device to totally avoid any links been shared to them. Or possibly get a totally different mobile device that they will use for storing only their crypto assets, and totally disconnected from all social medias, apps and online.
