JAKARTA - Recently, Kaspersky researchers discovered a new type of fraud that causes someone to lose their money in their crypto wallet.
In this case, the perpetrator will launch the action via direct message (DM) on Twitter and steal cryptocurrencies from affected users.
They will pretend to ask you for help to take some money in their crypto wallet, and promise to reward you.
When you open the site that the perpetrator provides, you will be asked to create a VIP account for a small amount of money. After registering and entering his crypto wallet data to pay for VIP status, the funds were stolen from his account and all disappeared.
"This crypto fraud, unfortunately, doesn't happen just once. Cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrencies remain a very interesting topic for attackers, as more and more users open crypto wallets and turn their currencies into coins," said Andrey Kovtun, security expert at Kaspersky.
More than that, Andrey also sees that more and more types of increasingly sophisticated crypto scams will soon emerge.
"Therefore, all users who use crypto must know how to maintain the security of their accounts, wallets and coins," he added.
