What do you know about digital dust?

Recommended Posts

Something strange happened to me some time ago, when I noticed that small quantities of a cryptocurrency had arrived in my wallet, which did not exceed a few cents.  I was amazed at this, and upon researching and exploring, I discovered what is called digital dust.  A Dusting attack is defined as a new type of malicious activity in which hackers attempt to violate the privacy of Bitcoin users and cryptocurrencies by sending small amounts of currency to their personal wallets and many Bitcoin owners believe that their identity is well protected from attempts to infiltrate and view their transactions  Unfortunately, this is not true.

Did it happen with you like this?  That is, to have currencies link you to your digital wallets without knowing their source? 

Is this dangerous as I read it? 

How do we avoid the risks of this phenomenon?

I sometimes notice that a small amount of currency gets to my wallet but I don't care about it. I don't give this matter any importance.  But according to your words we must think about the reasons for this and how to protect from the risks of this.

Yes sometimes this is like a miracle for us, getting a small amount of coins in our wallet suddenly. Sometimes we do have to anticipate from all this, whether this is dangerous or not, obviously we have to find out where the source is coming from.

Well you can create more wallets, and store your majority of the coins there, and the wallet you have, dust as you say, come in, let it come in and accept it gratefully, and enjoy the money. Try cold wallets, they are the best I guess.

Personally, I did not experience this problem. But after hearing the illustration that was conveyed. It seems like it has happened before and indeed these people send us tokens to our wallets.

Digital dust -  tiny electronic devices in the form of dust particles ,which contain sensors and can be used for wireless communication.

In other terms -Digital means data ,virtual and immaterial ,its black and white ,crisp demarcated ,perfectly defined .Dust is grey and deeply ,existentially fuzzy.

I never noticed that there is such a phenomenon, digital dust. This may be due to the fact that this effect is being converted.

This also happens to me, but im not woried since the wallet im using can only be accessed using my finger print, its a mobile wallet and i have my own private key. Also the device i use for my wallet is often offline. This dusting scam reminds me somewhat of simcard swap scam in the way the hackers collect info by doing exploratory phone calls to check if a phone number is valid.

Just make sure you don't do anything weird with your wallet and don't use it on unsafe websites and try to not keep all your money in one place

I have seen many give aways on twitter they want people BTC ,ETH address for give away.Then they sell these addresses to hackers.So the hackers send small amount of BTC to the account and then they made contact with you on your social media account.I have heard these cases.So always secure your BTC Address.

Yeah Actually i have not knowledge about digital dust but i think this is scammers. There were many scammers are staying with internet and its called digital dust.

In the world of digital currencies, the word "dust" means any small amount of currencies or symbols. The amount is usually so small that it is often forgotten or ignored. Any amount smaller than a few hundred satoshi can be referred to as dust.

A dust attack might not look dangerous at first glance, but the motives behind this are certainly worth considering, and I would certainly be alarmed if it happens with my account. It certainly means that someone is targetting your account and you should worry about this and take measures to secure your privacy and funds.

And then what happens ? Do they make an attempt to steal from your wallet ? What would be the use I'm thinking. Is this really hacking or are these staking awards ?

I don't have any idea about this digital dust thing, it's a really interesting and good news or information. Most of us here in crypto world think that we are safe, but we are wrong because hackers can always find way on how they will breach or infiltrate a system.

I have no idea that these things exists, although I have not been in the cryptocurrency world for a long period of time. I have not encountered this and do not know much about it but it is pretty interesting.

you can avoid the track from the people who send you the dust, using wallets that have the"do not spend" function.

doing this you will not spend those dust coins making new transactions, doing this they are not able to define your wallets

    • ⚡️ Клиентам “Сбера” заблокировали карты из-за крипты   Клиенты Сбербанка столкнулись с неприятной проблемой - блокировкой карт после совершения купли-продажи криптовалют. Банк посчитал эти операции сомнительными и теперь всем заблокированным нужно подтвердить источник происхождения средств перед банком. Для подтверждения необходимо предоставить банку скриншот личного кабинета криптобиржи, адрес сайта, пользовательское имя и историю транзакций.   🔥 Ethena Labs сделают аирдроп на 750 млн токенов   2 апреля DeFi-протокол Ethena Labs проведет аирдроп 750 млн токенов управления ENA среди участников программы поощрения Shard. Общий объем монет составит 5% от эмиссии. Пользователи получат количество токенов, 1к1 к набранным в ходе Shard баллам — «шардам» — до 1 апреля. Получить активы необходимо в течение 30 дней. А невостребованные ENA в дальнейшем разделят между всеми участниками аирдропа.   💸 Пятый по величине биткоин-кошелек перевел 94 500 BTC   23 марта пятый по объему хранящихся биткоинов кошелек перевел монеты стоимостью более $6 млрд на три новых адреса. 94 500 битковена лежали без движения еще с 2019 года. В итоге транзакции по суммам составили $5,03 млрд, $561,46 млн и $488,4 млн, а на балансе кошелька осталось 1,4 BTC.

    • Надежный и удобный обменник. Никогда не подводил, всегда выполняет транзакции быстро и без лишних проблем. Заявки обрабатываются почти мгновенно. Спасибо всей команде.
    • Сам тоже думаю не садиться в этот поезд, а то пошёл там выполнять их задания в Гелакси и только сбои да сбои, надоело там раз разом крутить кнопку проверки. Почему всё так происходит не пойму, полностью отбили мотивацию.
    • Если их машина по сжиганию будет работать отлично, то и токен будет в будущем расти из-за сокращения его огромного количества. Пока как знаю дела в этом направлении идут не плохо, но рост конечно идут за счёт Битка.
    • Да это уж многих удивило, сам тоже увы не в теме, хотя крос у меня стоил 10$, если был бы 100$, то точно зашёл бы в тему с ремонтом, а там уже каждый день за 20 дайсов мог бы получать по 0.5$ за 20 секунд.  Кстати у вас всё ещё видны ваши кеды ? Их можно ремонтировать 🤔
    • Да, типа это пользователи так сделали, что форум на дне, а ведь с самого начала нужно было понять, что на одной оплата так далеко дело не пойдёт. Нужно было с самого начала работать над качеством пользователей и жёстче бороться с ботоводами, мотивировать на создание топиков, дать возможность размещать реф ссылки во всех разделах форума, в том числе и сокращение ссылки, подключить рекламу к форуму, если так плохо дело с подписанными. И это только начало списка, где всё это можно реализовать, но нет никаких действий очень долгое время.
    • Отлично, что и у вас получилось, теперь можно будет вникать в тему, где как заметил сами их квесты много времени не отнимают, ну кроме проверки. Сделал всё, оставил на час или вообще зайдёшь завтра и уже можно минтить поинты.
