Scammers and hackers are increasingly targeting investors. Chris Burniské recently alerted its subscribers about phishing emails sent from spoofed addresses. He saw fake messages, called “spoofing,” that appeared to come from his email address.
He warns that if you receive a strange email from him, especially one with errors or strange content, it's probably not genuine. He also noted that if anyone named “CB” contacts messaging apps asking for money for services or trades, it's definitely not Chris Burniske himself.
This warning comes after a major incident in which a major crypto media platform was hacked. The attackers sent emails to users of the platform containing dangerous phishing links, which could steal personal information. The damage caused by this hack has not yet been assessed by third parties, as the hackers used complex methods to deceive people. Fortunately, rapid action was taken to remedy the hack, but caution is still required.
It is important that all players in the crypto space are on alert. If you receive an unexpected message from well-known crypto personalities, media outlets or trading platforms asking you to send money, enter into a contract or reveal your wallet details like private keys or starting sentences, be very skeptical. These are common tactics used by fraudsters to gain access to your funds and personal information.
Many influencers and platforms are being targeted during the bull run as more people look for ways to increase their capital and earn more in the digital asset sector. It is essential to double-check any communication requesting sensitive information or financial transactions.
Be vigilant and protect yourself from these deceptive scams. By staying informed and cautious, you can help protect your investments and personal data from these unscrupulous attacks. Always check before trusting any unexpected requests related to your crypto assets.
