Day 96 #Web3Security ⚡️ NFT Scam Alert! 🖼️ Scammers use malicious Seaport signatures to drain wallets. They trick you into signing what looks like a claim, but it lists your NFTs for 0 ETH to them! If you don't know what a signature does, DON'T sign it! BM ✍️

Day 95 #Web3Security ⚡️ Think Bitcoin is private? Not really. All transactions are public. Privacy Coins (like Monero, Zcash) are designed to hide the sender, receiver & amount. Risk: They face regulatory pressure & are often delisted from major exchanges! BM 🤫

Day 94 #Web3Security ⚡️ Beware of Exit Scams! A platform seems legit, then vanishes with user funds, like Abacus Market did in early July. This is a major risk on any custodial platform. Use self-custody for funds you aren't actively trading! BM 👻

Day 91 #Web3Security ⚡️ Another exchange hack! BigONE lost ~$27M yesterday from its hot wallets due to a "third-party security attack." A reminder that when you use an exchange, you also inherit ITS security risks. Not your keys, not your crypto! Keep non-trading funds safe in self-custody. BM 🚨

Day 90 #Web3Security ⚡️ New Scam Alert: Malicious QR codes! 📱 Scammers place them in public or emails. Scanning can lead to a prompt to connect your wallet, which drains your funds if you approve. Treat QR codes like links: Don't scan from untrusted sources! BM 🔗

Day 88 #Web3Security ⚡️ Scammers use gas fees to create pressure! ⛽️ They'll create false urgency ("high gas, act now!") or lure you with fake "gas refund" sites to get you to sign malicious transactions. Don't let gas fees rush you! Always follow your security checklist. BM 💨

Day 87 #Web3Security ⚡️ Ever see a wallet prompt with just unreadable "Hex Data"? That's Blind Signing! 🙈 It's extremely risky because you can't verify what you're approving. If you can't read it, REJECT it! Use simulation tools or wallets like @Rabby_io that decode txns. BM 👓

Day 85 #Web3Security ⚡️ Your hardware wallet's PIN protects it from physical theft! 🔐 Most devices wipe after a few wrong guesses. This is why your SEED PHRASE backup is your ultimate safety net. The device is replaceable; your seed is not. Secure it! BM ✨

Day 84 #Web3Security ⚡️ New Scam Alert: AI Voice Cloning! 🗣️ Scammers use a short audio clip to clone a voice & send a fake, urgent message from someone you trust asking for crypto. Always verify urgent requests via a different method (call back!) or use a safe word. GM 📞

Day 81 #Web3Security ⚡️ Lesson from the Li.Fi exploit (~$12M lost!): The danger of infinite approvals is REAL. A bug in their contract allowed hackers to drain funds from users who had given it infinite approval. This is why you MUST regularly revoke old approvals! Use revoke.cash. BM ✂️

Day 80 #Web3Security ⚡️ Not all blockchains are equally secure! ⛓️ A chain's security depends on its consensus mechanism & decentralization. When you use a bridge, you're inheriting the risks of the bridge AND the destination chain. DYOR on both before bridging! BM 🌉

Day 79 #Web3Security ⚡️ Signing with a Smart Wallet is different! 🤔 You're not just approving a simple transfer. You're signing a transaction that executes your wallet's own code. This could change recovery guardians or spending limits. Read every approval carefully! BM ✍🏾
