Fuck this, fortunately I only lost about $2,800 but seriously crypto needs to be way more fucking secure, this never would have happened with my Chase bank account. Cashing out all my other crypto holdings to invest in the stock market, you know, the market that is actually regulated to prevent fraud and theft!

YOU need to be more secure. Fraud and theft are not something unique to the crypto space, it is just that there are less retards that are active on the stockmarket. But having retards in the crypto sphere is a good thing. It means that there are plenty of gullible fools like you that we can make money off.

I know you think you're in some sort of majority of people who would regularly get scammed by this... but you're not. You're in a very small minority of very stupid people pretending to not be stupid. I know you want to feel like you're not alone in this and that this could happen to anyone... but it wouldn't.

That's because the money in the bank technically isn't under your possession, you're loaning it to the bank. Therefore it's in their interest to take care of it.

You possess your crypto, the onus is on you to take care of it.

>> No.6964168

>>6963999
Checked your trips.

It's not a perfect comparison. With a bank, they have your social security number and a ton of other info on you. They can use a slew of fraud detection protocols to verify that you got fucked over. There's a second layer of security beyond your online banking password. We don't have that in crypto. So how do we ensure that it's YOU on the other end and not a scammer? Have a second layer of security just like the banks. That's what 2FA is. They could get your password, but Russian scammers can't take your phone from you. It's our version of 2nd layer security. And OP turned his off. It's the equivalent of OP going to his bank and removing all proof and evidence of his identity from the bank records. How would they prove he got scammed without that extra layer of security? He couldn't. Just like he couldn't when he removed his 2FA.

>> No.6964279

Guy, be honest here. The 2FA thing was retarded. However, how many of you would fall for changing a password if the email was from binance?

Not Op but this happened me twice with binance. Never got the email that said I needed to remove 2fa. Just saw the mail that said a login attempt was made.
Never happened with my buttrex account.
My guess is that they phish you when they already got your password and they get the password with a keylogger because after I started using a digital keyboard to type the password it never happened me again.
So.
Avoid browsing the web with the same computer you use to trade.
Always have 2fa on
Always backup the 2fa code in case your phone is kill
Never input your password with the physical keyboard..
Did I miss something?
