🚨 I want to share something that happened to me so that no one else falls into this trap... Recently, I received a message with a link that looked official, claiming to be from Binance. I thought it was normal because I always receive notifications. However, that link was a phishing attack. Without realizing it, I entered my details and within minutes, I lost 300USDT💸 from my wallet. It was a hard blow, not only because of the money but also because I realized how easy it is to fall into these traps if you're not alert. Since then, I learned three key things to protect myself: ✔️ Never click on links that you do not verify yourself. ✔️ Always check that the URL is the official and secure one. ✔️ Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. I tell you this because I want you to be cautious and not make the same mistake. Phishing is one of the most common scams, and the best defense is prevention. Share this story so that more people do not fall into these traps. $PEPE #phishing #SeguridadCripto #CryptoTips #BinanceSquare #dyor

Stay #SAFU on X and other socials. @JasonYanowitz on X narrates his #hack odeal. I got hacked yesterday. At the risk of looking foolish, I'll share how it happened so you can avoid this nightmare. For the past few weeks, people have been trying to get into my accounts. #Crypto accounts, email, twitter, etc... every few days I get an email that someone is trying to access one of my accounts. Thankfully I have non-text #2FA set up for everything so nothing got hacked. So when I got back from dinner last night and saw this email, I panicked. Someone in North Cyprus had finally managed to hack into my account. I guess my security wasn't strong enough and they found a loophole. I clicked the link to "secure my account". I entered my username and password, updated to a new password, and voila: I'm back in. Crisis averted. Or so I thought. Moments later, I got an email saying my email address had been changed. This was the real hack. I was now officially locked out of my account. So how did this happen? It turns out the original email, which looks incredibly real, was not so real. Most email clients hide the actual address. But when you expand it, you can see that this email was sent from "[email protected]" Fake address. I got phished. Very foolish mistake. I don't open Google Docs when they're sent to me. I don't click links. I typically check addresses. But Friday 8pm after a long week, they got me. I am aware this thread exposes a pretty dumb mistake but if I can save one person from this same mistake, it's worth it. Some takeaways: - Don't click links - If you do click a link, review the actual email address - Set up non-text 2FA on everything - If you've done that, trust your own security process - If you think you've been hacked, slow down and think about how this could have happened Big thank you to @KeithGrossman and some folks at X for helping me get my account back so quickly. If you're still reading, go read the self-audit series from @samczsun. And this best practices from @bobbyong. Lot more you can do but start there. #phishing

Twenty malicious #npm packages impersonating the #Hardhat #Ethereum✅ development environment have targeted private keys and sensitive data. These packages, downloaded over 1,000 times, were uploaded by three accounts using #typosquatting techniques to trick developers. Once installed, the packages steal private keys, mnemonics, and configuration files, encrypt them with a hardcoded AES key, and send them to attackers. This exposes developers to risks like unauthorized transactions, compromised production systems, #phishing , and malicious dApps. Mitigation tips: Developers should verify package authenticity, avoid typosquatting, inspect source code, store private keys securely, and minimize dependency usage. Using lock files and defining specific versions can also reduce risks. $ETH {future}(ETHUSDT)
