Vitalik Buterin's X Account Hacked, $691K Stolen, Majority in NFTs.

[Anonymous No.56090626]

Buterin's X account was hacked by scammers who tricked users into clicking a malicious link, resulting in over $691,000 in losses.

>Buterin also faced a SIM swap attack, highlighting the need for security. We're not safe in this world. Keep your funds SAFU, and avoid clicking on suspicious links.

Banker fag here

You seem to think it's your money, it's not. It is the bank's money. You relinquished control when you handed it over for safe keeping. The bank could refuse your withdrawal at any time for a multitude of reasons. If you had approached me with that anger I would assume you're going to use the money for drugs or other criminal activities. In the event you threatened with the police I would provide them video evidence of yourself shouting and being confrontational. I would say that I feel unsafe and have you removed from the premises and flag/freeze your account for possible criminal activity. Your hostility is not towards me, but yourself. You want all the freedom of controlling your life, but want none of the responsibility to safeguard your assets. So I will do it for you, to keep it safe, from you.

This is how porous the system can be, and it even boils down to Web3, which is the main target of attack. Cex is fudded so badly that everyone wants to go into self-custody. Wallets are vulnerable to attack. Where do we go from here? I fucking don't know. Everything is BS.

Scams and account takeovers are becoming more and more popular recently, and they're becoming harder to identify largely due to companies using the same tactics as scams to communicate and advertise themselves.

Consumer trust in companies is being eroded away at a faster pace than ever before, but because we don't have any other options it isn't as obvious.
People can't trust phone calls, texts, emails, ads, google results, or people they know on social media, but you can't avoid these things when doing business with modern companies.
