Some advice to avoid getting social hacked: Ideally, don’t take inbound meetings without a trusted referral. If you do take an inbound meeting: 1. Require them use *your* meeting provider of choice (eg Google or Zoom) 2. Ask them to turn their video on. 3. Do not download *anything* from them under any circumstance. Two people have tried to scam us in the last few weeks. Very elaborate, but sticking to these rules rebuffed them pretty easily. I expect this stuff to increase with our token value. Crypto not awesome in this way. But it’s hard for people to do much to you if you control the terms of the environment. Be a little paranoid.

Don't use the same machine for dev work or key management to take calls. Don't take calls while connected to important remote resources (if on the same connection, ideally, don't be ever). Don't plug in different purpose devices in the same power source (use a scrubber/constant draw mains for key management devices). Be extremely paranoid.

I usred laptopi thought was completley erased for a call once and i still got hacked Last scammer I caught was so evil, he used well known artist name, my former bosses name, who’s known to be very offline person - so they did hella research on me for sure. They used ChatGPT to copy his interviews and figure out his whereabouts and tried to get me trough elaborate scheme with the stolen identity of person I actually know. I figured it out as soon as they sent me fake contact of some “manager”.
