✜ Scams in the cryptocurrency space are a common occurrence, causing thousands of people to lose their money.
✜ Various methods of scamming provide opportunities for fraudsters to profit at the expense of others.
✜ I interviewed a scammer who shared information that could save many people from losing their funds.
✜ This interview covers several important questions that will provide you with full clarity:
- How much do experienced scammers EARN?
- How can you PROTECT YOURSELF from losing funds?- Who are the primary targets of scammers?
- What is THE BIGGEST SCAMS he made?- How do they most often infect computers?
- What are the scammers' next steps after infecting a user?
- Who are the primary targets of scammers?
✜ We scammers are always interested in people with money - this is obvious, and we often target crypto enthusiasts.
✜ Just because someone has a lot of money doesn’t mean they can protect themselves from fraud.
✜ Surprisingly, such people often don’t secure their funds much better than beginners.
✜ Sometimes we are also interested in profiting from a group of beginners.
✜ Profits there can sometimes be even better than with experienced crypto users.
✜ From personal experience, it takes just 10 minutes to install a stealer on a beginner's computer.
- How do they most often infect computers?
✜ User computers are most often infected by embedding malware into a file.
✜ We usually use PDF and Excel files because people open them without a second thought.
✜ Sometimes we even have to encrypt the malware to bypass antivirus alerts.
- What are the scammers' next steps after infecting a user?
✜ Once a computer is infected, we can do whatever we want and install any software through remote access.
✜ The most popular option is to install a stealer that steals all the data and caches from your browsers.
✜ With this pack of information, we can already make a good profit.
✜ No two-factor authentication will save you in such a case of infection.
✜ We will already have full information about your computer, which will allow us to use it in an anti-detect browser.
✜ By selecting the right IP, we can easily access any site without extra checks.
✜ Sometimes, in particularly complex and risky cases, we gain remote access to the victim's computer after pre-learning all their passwords.
✜ In such cases, they "themselves" and "voluntarily" send us the funds.
✜ We only use such methods when there's a high chance of a big profit.
- How much do experienced scammers earn?
✜ It's a rather complex, individual, and situational question.
✜ Sometimes you can earn $1,000,000 from one hack, and other times, nothing from 100 hacks.
✜ But I know that experienced scammers consistently earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- How can you protect yourself from losing funds?
✜ It's a very broad question, but I'll try to share the main tips.
✜ First of all, make sure to install a paid antivirus on your computer - it's not a cure-all, but it will protect you from basic infections when you click something out of carelessness.
✜ NEVER open unknown files on your PC that has all your wallets and exchanges.
✜ Use a sandbox or dedicated machines for this, where you can safely check what's in those files.
✜ Also, don't click on unfamiliar links, as they can immediately infect your PC.✜ For exchange protection, always set a withdrawal password, which sometimes slows down the hacking process.
✜ Two-factor authentication isn't the most useless thing, although it's not that hard to bypass.
✜ Overall, I recommend storing funds only on a cold wallet and connecting it only to a completely clean PC that is used for nothing else.
