🚀 While WhiteBIT users are battling crypto monsters in their Halloween activity, real-life cybersecurity threats continue.
Recently, a hacker took control of Andy Ayrey's Twitter account, using it to promote a fake token, $IB. In just one hour, $602,500 was withdrawn from unsuspecting investors who trusted the name behind the endorsement. This incident highlights the growing trend of high-profile social media accounts being hacked to promote fraudulent cryptocurrencies.
It’s a stark reminder to always verify the authenticity of any token and its promoters. Ensure that you critically assess "social proof" and thoroughly research any crypto asset before investing. Your knowledge is your first line of defense against scams exploiting well-known names.
