Nice article to help steer clear off the badonline  guys and I want to add

1. Mind what sites you visit, a river never drowns anyone that did not come to the river,

2. Never store your passwords, 2FA keys, private keys online or your computer. 

3. Password your computer and devices

4. Always log out after visiting a site especially when you accessed if from a public computer. etc

Nice topic.

There is an important thing that is "don't fall into greed", anything that offers something that is too good to be true it is scam...

Not replying to fishing messages on telegram, twitter, etc will also go a long way 🙂

Sometimes we fail securing our data with the use of social media, we use to reveal a lot of our personal lives and that's a gold mine for a scammer, they can copy our profiles and scam our acquaintance asking to lend some money or selling stuff, something like that. At least in my country that's teh way scammers work nowadays.

[Tine0313 3053]

I was a victim of scam at my first days in the crypto world, lost money in a fake cloud mining. So I know how it feels been scammed.

Well sometimes we focus on scammers and forget hackers, anyway maybe it is because hackers target rich accounts but we exposed our data too much and unlike scammers hackers only need very few details.

I think that unfortunately, the great majority of people here has already been scammed one way or the other... it is impossible to be aware of everything and scams come in many ways... it is a lesson that we must learn fast because if people are able to learn this lesson, scams will eventually cease to be profitable

Yap like hiring programmers to make a fake site, and the cost to run the site, if no one will fall into that scam, then scams will be unprofitable.

In my case I've done translation jobs that took me several days to finnish and in the end the whole project was scam... this happened a few times until I've stopped doing translations... but it is also something I'm good at and that has a nice income... so I am not sure how I will proceed in the future...

My feelings for you man... that one must have been hard... but there are many opportunities for programmers... just a small suggestion that came into my mind... check out Xtrabytes. I work with these guys since I've joinde crypto, and they are evolving and hiring... at least it is not a scam (or it doesn't seem so)

Hackers do not target rich accounts, they target easy accounts to check if there's something of value there. If that were right, we could hear more news about banks getting hacked.

I agree to you because some of the victim of scammers are those who fail in securing their data and easily trusting anyone they meet online. 

I suggest that you avoid sharing private and personal information of your account to avoid being scam 

In this era of social media is hard to not sharing sensible data. You google your name or your ID number and find a lot of info, college data, medical data, legal... there are pages that for a fee can show all the current information of certain people, like, debts, legal issues, address...

No real hackers are not concerned with easy account, scammers are. Hackers (real once) they like to target big money, for them is not just about profit it is prestige.

A hacker is a hacker, once they chose their target wor whatever reason, money, documents, for fun... if hackers were pointing only to rich people, there were more thefts on the news. Small thefts to random users do not make it to the news, nobody cares about John Poverty being robbed his 0,0004 BTC.

Good tips, but it would be much better if you linked the article of your reference to give credit to the original author that curated those tips. No reference links given.

Be able to created different password for each site you visit, Google chrome does that. When a scammer got your password he will want to try it in all of your account
