They Tortured Him for 3 Hours for His Metamask Password — A Harsh Warning for Crypto Users
In a terrifying incident, a South African cryptocurrency trader was reportedly held captive and tortured for three hours by attackers demanding access to his Metamask wallet password. The victim managed to survive but lost a significant amount of cryptocurrency after the attackers forced him to hand over his keys.
This case highlights the extreme risks of holding large amounts of crypto without the proper security measures. While digital wallets offer convenience, they also make users targets of violent crimes.
Key Points for Protection:
Never share your private keys or passwords with anyone. No legitimate service or support team will ask you for them.
Use hardware wallets (cold wallets) to store large sums of crypto offline and out of reach of online attacks.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts and wallets.
Be cautious about who you reveal your crypto holdings to: avoid publicly boasting or sharing screenshots of your wallet.
Report suspicious activities or threats to local authorities immediately.
Cryptocurrencies offer immense potential, but security must always come first. Stay informed and protect
your digital assets.
