#CryptoScamSurge

💡 What It Means & What You Can Do

1. Verify everything—deepfake scams are harder to recognize. Always use official sources or trusted channels to confirm offers or investment opportunities .

2. Limit token permissions—never give unrestricted approval to wallets you don’t fully trust (especially EOAs). Use tools to monitor and revoke dormant allowances .

3. Use hardware cold storage—keep private keys offline to avoid phishing and AI-driven malware exploits .

4. Enable strict account security—use MFA via Authenticator apps (not SMS), strong unique passwords, and secure recovery mechanisms .

5. Educate and stay alert—understand tactics such as pig‑butchering, romance scams, fake staking dApps, and fake celebrity deepfakes. Share awareness widely .

6. Demand better enforcement and transparency—calls grow louder worldwide for stronger regulation of crypto platforms (e.g. ATMs in Minnesota), improved KYC standards, and institutional guardianship over suspicious transactions .
