🔹 Solution: Set AirDrop to Contacts Only or Receiving Off if you don't need it.
💰 Airdrop Risks (in crypto)
Scams: Often, they will ask you to link your wallet or enter sensitive information and then steal your money.
Malware: Some airdrops request the download of suspicious applications or files.
Private key theft: If you give out sensitive information like the Private Key or Seed Phrase, you could end up losing all your funds.
Phishing: Fake messages or sites trick you into thinking you are participating in an official Airdrop.
Currency devaluation: Even if you receive free tokens, they might have no value or crash quickly after distribution.
