Hey, Pi Network Community!
I’m sharing this message with deep concern and urgency. Recently, I became a victim of a scam that exposed a major security weakness in the Pi Network. This isn’t just my story—it’s a warning for everyone who has been mining Pi since 2020.
What Happened?
A scammer tricked me into revealing my passphrase, which allowed them to access my Pi wallet and steal 107 Pi in just minutes. Fortunately, my remaining 981 Pi were locked, preventing further loss.
This incident highlights a critical issue: Pi Network’s security measures are insufficient. Currently, if someone gets hold of your passphrase, they can access and drain your wallet instantly without any extra verification.
The Problem: Lack of Security Layers
The current Pi Network wallet security is too basic, lacking essential protective features such as:
✅ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – No additional verification step before accessing the wallet.
✅ Transaction Confirmation – No email or SMS approval required before transferring Pi.
✅ Passphrase Recovery Options – No way to reset or recover your passphrase securely.
✅ Real-Time Alerts – No instant notifications for suspicious activities.
Without these security layers, Pi holders are at high risk of losing their tokens to scammers. For those who have been mining Pi for years, this is a huge threat.
A Request to the Pi Core Team
To ensure the safety of all Pi holders, I urge the Pi Core Team to take immediate action and implement stronger security measures. Here are some essential upgrades needed:
1️⃣ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Require users to verify login attempts via email or SMS.
2️⃣ Implement Transaction Confirmation – Send a verification code before any Pi transfer can be completed.
3️⃣ Introduce Passphrase Recovery Options – Provide secure ways for users to recover lost passphrases.
4️⃣ Send Real-Time Alerts – Notify users immediately when a transaction is attempted from their wallet.
How Can You Help?
This issue affects every Pi user, so we must act together to demand better security. Here’s what you can do:
📢 Spread Awareness – Share this message with your friends and on social media to inform others.
📩 Contact the Pi Core Team – Use official Pi Network channels to request urgent security updates.
🛑 Stay Vigilant – Never share your passphrase and be cautious of phishing scams.
Final Thoughts
Pi Network has the potential to become a game-changer in the crypto world, but strong security is essential for its success. If we don’t act now, more users will fall victim to scams.
