RE: 6 golden tips to protect crypto from scammers and hackers

in Project HOPE2 years ago

I have a query, its ok we share our public wallet address right...even in social media...?... how can giving our public wallet address make us vulnerable to hackers?

Sort:  

Oh what really happens is that if you are posting your public key the scammers usually use web scraping to extract data and email etc.
From the wallet they know what crypto tokens and net wealth you own so they can fine tune their attack via fishing or other dubious schemes.
A simple tip is to add more that one wallet for airdrops etc which has nothing more than a bit of gas fee.
Also no point letting the world know how many BTC you hold ;)
Let us keep that info private . You never know who is watching I hope you get the hint
