Recently, there have been several cases of major accounts in the crypto industry being hacked. Here are some practical security tips.
First, a little-known fact: recovering a WeChat account surprisingly only requires a friend to send a verification code? What does this mean? The more strangers you add, the higher the risk of social engineering. Scammers only need to compromise a few of your "friends," and your account is basically theirs.
Looking at overseas platforms, before Elon Musk's acquisition, Twitter's hardware two-factor authentication was full of vulnerabilities. Many celebrity accounts were compromised this way.
Therefore, it must be emphasized: **If you see a well-known industry figure suddenly posting a token contract address, asking for payments, or soliciting investments on social media—report it immediately, don't hesitate.**
Those truly in need of money will handle it through official channels and will never ask for help publicly on social media. 😂
The crypto world is deep, everyone needs to stay alert. Account security is no joke. 🔐
