That's not a crypto specific problem. People get hacked all the time, it's an overall cyber issue.
And the chicks complain about me not having any cash apps. LMAO. Keep right on complaining ladies.

It's an internet issue. There's tons of stories of taking zelle scams. Since the Internet, the notorious payments to Nigerians have been a mainstay for instance. There's a ledger for crypto, you can see any address openly.Quote:

And tracked people's log in info, then did it on the real site and laundered over $60 million. There's also a story, tried to find it but couldn't on a quick search, of someone getting a message from their daughter on Venmo (similar name), same phot saying forgot wallet at home, an at grocery store got $40? Dad sent it. Wasn't his daughter, but the handle was eerily similar.
Here's just a quick search:

Could go on and on. If you don't see it as a digital issue, it's beyond you.
Lose that key to your wallet and you are FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED .
Stick to insured custody platforms, and you're fine.Quote:

These are a dime a dozen. Nothing's safe digitally unless you never answer any email or any extra info necessary.
