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.

I also don’t open Pitch Decks or funding offers, they can be embedded with malware (unless from highly trusted source and even then will have impersonation of your sources!) ask them to screen shot anything like this and just dm the screengrab. Safer than opening anything. Calendly links also are another favourite of the scammer, so scheduling old fashion way and providing the meeting invite yourself is better. Never use Zoom links or such sent to you or embedded. One instinctive or rushed decision to click something can be catastrophic, I’ve seen it happen to a lot of folk. Can never be too careful!
