Crypto scams and theft is on the rise, indicating that it is thus very important for users to be more vigilant and ensure they are using secure websites when dealing with their digital assets. Hackers continuously find creative ways to scam, so it is important to stay up to date with new tactics. Recent statistics show that up to $15 million worth of crypto has been stolen by a hacker who was able to clone an exchange website, impersonate it and steal user’s credentials. It is also known that cybercriminals use various methods such as mass tagging campaigns, airdrops and giveaways to trick users into providing information or downloading malicious software. It was also found that almost a third of Americans have been a victim of some form of crypto theft. It is thus very necessary for users to act with caution when dealing with their digital assets online and always closely verify the website they are on is a secure connection to avoid falling victim to such criminals. In today's digital age, the need for increased security can not be emphasised more.
