⚠️ HACKERS? SCAMMERS?CARELESS? GOD BLESS YOU // ⚠️ 骇客? 骗子?粗心?(UPDATED)

in #cn7 years ago (edited)

Still remember I've said, now is the trends of cryptocurrencies, also the trends of ICO. As we see the cryptocurrencies price flied to the moon (past few days BTC crashed below USD2000 and now recovering). Following by blooming of all kinds of projects and ICO. Hacker and scammers already notice on us ( the cryptocurrencies investors or holders or players) We think we are smart enough to protect our wallet. But....

THEY SMART THAN YOU

They sent you a message regarding lost of your tokens of coins in you wallet, then you went nervous and worry. Login and check you coins, "Thanks God they are safe!" A few days later, "WHO STOLE MY COINS?"

RULE NO. 1

DO NOT CLICK ANY LINK

THEY DO WHAT YOU CANNOT

(Copy and paste the ICO contract address from official website.) This will be safe because I don't use any link and I really sure this is the official website. SEND my coins. YES. The network is smooth and I get the early bird bonus. BUT, someone posted on forum later, "THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE HAVE BEEN HACKED AND THE ADDRESS WAS WRONG!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR COINS!!!"

WHAT THE FUxK !!! THEY STOLE MY COINS !!!

RULE NO. 2

DOUBLE CHECK THE CONTRACT ADDRESS WITH BLOCK EXPLORER

Do you think story ended here?

Half an hour after the official announced that they will be responsible for this hack, you have an message. "TO HAVE YOUR COINS REFUNDED, PLEASE SEND THE SAME AMOUNT TO THIS ADDRESS." WOW, great job!!! They act fast to do my refund. SEND my coins again. Singing and waiting for my cons to back to my wallet.

A post came from forum, "DON'T BELIEVE ANY MESSAGE REGARDING THE REQUEST OF REFUND!!! DO NOT SEND ANY COINS TO THE ADDRESS !!!"

I saw someone jumped from window.

RULE NO. 3

DO NOT RESPONSE TO ANY MESSAGE TOO EARLY

SOME TIPS FOR ICO AND NORMAL BROWSING SAFETY

DO NOT JOIN ANY ICO. GIVE ME YOUR MONEY. BE SMART BEFORE SEND YOUR COINS.


说实话, 这几个月来, 越来越多加密货币新手加入, 连个钱包怎么操作就学人家ICO 我是觉得很愚昧。 就好象你买房子, 只知道付钱签名。 这种态度不被骗是很难。 加密货币无法无界。 如果连基本钱包怎么保管都不会, 被骗的机率无限高。

很多人还是很习惯什么链接都很好奇点进去看一下。 咦? 有人派红包哦。 去看一下。 他说我中奖了, 去看一下。 它说, 可能你刚才投的ICO 没办法发送去你的钱包, 请你登入看看。 他X的, 什么帐号, 密码, 个资都泄漏到外太空去了。

赶啊! 快啊! 衝啊! 不然就被秒杀了!

结果真的秒杀了。 可是是自己被秒杀了。

有的时候, 停下来, 看一看, 可能就没事了呢?

诈骗手法真的防不胜防, 跟变魔术一样。 我真想把我的加密货币都钻BUG 变个1000000% 出来啊 !!!

They need to make better security for cryptcurrency holders. Especially bitcoin and other top cryptos. What would we do if all the cryptos suddenly were stolen out of nowhere?!

I'm not sure if one being tracked and his ip being hijacked ...Will this be possible? But anyway, holders should be aware of phishing website, message and deposit addresses...

$7 Million Lost in CoinDash ICO Hack this week so disheartening as many might have lots all their life-saving. what a world

This is the problem. Cryptocurrency are assets. Should not invest all into a ICO. People should use assets management in cryptocurrency also.

Agree'd but it's likely that most people will not value their currencies, because they did not work for them or spend days discovering the assets which underpin a coin's value or performance - they just put money in at a lucky time and watch it grow.

Ya, correct. Just like using a credit card or debit card or atm card, never write password on it is common sense. But still some will do that. People should learn how to protect their money.

Great tutorial! Thank you!

Indirectly, this is one of the reasons that I don't believe in the majority of the ICO's . When we covered The AdEx ICO we only looked at the time it was on market and refrained from looking at the team. ICO's have a lot of great ideas, but the same success rate as kickstarter in terms of delivery.

A lot of people are looking for the next BTC to catch early on - but running an ICO analysis is important too. Experienced team members is how you avoid overlooking details like "Is everyone's funds going to the right account?" or "Should we invest a big into cloudflare?"

Gotta be uber paranoid when moving cryptos around. It's the part about crypto that makes it hard to go mainstream

yah you are right 90 out of 100 are scams and your article surely help steemians. keep it up.

Scammer indeed
