In the crypto world, we should be taking care our self for not replying to any unknown message which contains links, not clicking on any unknown links, do not entertain any messages that come from an unknown person who has a link in it.

Here, we are the only ones who are responsible for assets, crypto coins that store in our wallets. As we all know to access this wallet the Public Key and Private key will be required.

Here we are the only one who is responsible for our losses if it got hacked, you will be able to recover accounts but NOT Assets/crypto coins, refer Your Steem Account gets Hacked? What to do next? by @cryptokannon.

If you reply to any unknown messages which contain links OR you click on any unknown links received from unknown persons then it will be possible that the hacker will get your Public Key and Private key when you click on such unknown links, then he will easily get access to your wallet.

HENCE, DO NOT ENTERTAIN TO ANY MESSAGES WHICH CAME FROM THE UNKNOWN PERSONS WHICH CONTAIN LINKS, ALSO NEVER REPLY TO THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH THING MENTIONED LIKE CLAIM YOUR NUMBER OF COIN, YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THE MESSAGE CODED, THINK TWICE BEFORE REPLY, DONT BE GREEDY.

New Variant.

I have just noticed that we are getting the below message once published any post. Please take a look at the message that I just received.

Unknown Message.

Look at the sender name and the name contains in a message. The hacker may use a different name who has a good reputation on Steemit and known by everyone, with the help of their name they will try to attract you.

It is common that the sender and the mentioned name are different and @exnihilo.witness is one of the reputed WITNESS on Steemit, even if @exnihilo.witness wants to send such a broadcast message he will send it from his own account. Also, he will try to create a post for the same prior to informing everyone. But that s not the case in this which is clear that this is a SPAM Message and could hack your account, Fund.

I was waiting for the reply from @exnihilo.witness about this broadcast message, but I can't wait for it more as I saw that the same message is broadcasting speedily.

Broadcast Messages

Not only this, Crypto coins mainly advertise on Twitter and Telegram, do not click on any unknown link.

Requesting all country representatives to take care of their users and guide everyone about this, especially the new joiner.
