Next, I will explain the fraudulent methods of this "genius" in detail and teach you how to avoid it🧵👇
Malone Lam, a 20-year-old Singaporean boy, stole $230 million in cryptocurrency from an anonymous victim
They had access to the victim's Google Drive, where he found the victim's personal information, including details of the victim's crypto assets held on the Gemini platform.
Then, Jeandiel called the victim again, pretending to be a Gemini staff member.
Convinced the victim to download a "security" software that was supposed to help him protect his assets.
But the result is predictable...
The scammers obtained the victim's private key through this software.
Then they successfully stole 4,100 bitcoins, which was worth $230 million at the time. They then laundered the stolen funds through multiple exchanges and mixing services.
This case also exposed the risk of losing cryptocurrency.
You may not realize how important it is to protect your assets.
To help everyone better protect their crypto assets, here are some practical security tips.
👇
1 Don't let strangers access your devices remotely.
It sounds simple, but never give any permissions to people you don't trust.
Even employees of large companies such as Google and Binance are unlikely to need such permissions.
2 Two-factor authentication (2FA)
In any case, be sure to enable two-factor authentication, especially for email and cloud accounts.
It is most recommended to use authentication apps such as Google Authenticator.
It is not recommended to use SMS as a 2FA method to prevent SIM card swap attacks.
3 Private key storage is safe
Never store your private key in digital form, otherwise you will be as vulnerable as the victims of the Malone case
For safety, find a wallet that supports stronger security management
It is better to keep your private key on paper rather than online
Remember that new cryptocurrency scams emerge every day
Your asset security should never be taken lightly, never ignore it
