Hello Dearest Crypto Community!
#squarefamily I hope you are enjoying some upward moves after the RED light stayed more than most of us expected!🤙
This is a long Article, focused on Cyber Security and, Over Seas Scammers Issues. In the first part, I faced Cyber Security Awareness with a highlight on our Elderly People, the most vulnerable ones among us so the first paragraph is about them and their struggle with the issue.
If you are not into reading the text I wrote for older pep as it is stretched, go to blockchain security and how to stay safer+Gen Z (un)awareness in the 2nd paragraph below. If you believe that you won't be happy reading this one, I encourage you to move on to the next post right away, the article is not part of professional homework and only my views are expressed through my online experience cause the victim outcry is getting louder and louder since it escalated through our industry with first
$BTC BullRun Moves months ago.
Dear Elders, Stay Alert!
Most of you grew up during the golden times, not needing much for happiness, you shouldn't be interested in any of the things that appear easy money on the web pages or inside your mail inbox.
Keep your clicks preplanned, Sorry to tell you but....1 000 000 000 page visitors or prize claimers are the ones that always end with "unhappy" ending. Don't even look at the strange popup, and don't wish for anything that the internet gives you as "reward" because in the most of the cases that reward is being paid back Bigtime!
-Are you in need of free things like the fresh Movies that you like to quickly watch on some RussDNPRK typo of Chinosouthukraine Page from the comfort of your home? Better Think again, that movie might cost you everything you have as you download and upload data during the replay to unknown servers.
DON'T CLICK DAMN NONSENSE ON YOUR RECEIVED EMAIL, PLEASE. YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON TO OPEN ANY MAIL THAT YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IN YOUR INBOX AT ALL! Especially if the mail is letting you know that you are being charged for X/Y$ and to call this number if you want to cancel the order, that never existed
USA lost Billions of older pep life savings, with the number elevating to 28 BILLION $ ANNUALLY Worldwide, and only 8B being reported stolen, the statistic is alarming. With the country on a leading spot, Georgia after which Delaware follows, and the third one being Nevada it is clear who they have on target. Imagine losing all to a typical Indian accent that talked you into the pit....damn.
Without a single worry on their mind, they arrive at their big offices AKA "the Call Centers". Working in shifts per their schedule practicing awesome teamwork to successfully perform the Scam, a legal Scam on their soil as it appears
Every hour, every day, they learn to steal you better and, shamelessly with your money acting high playa in their town and thinking that the Creator himself chose them with purpose and made them immune to their pathetic SINS. I am not able, even if I had two lives, to understand that Troll Humanoid behavior. Spending high on the supercars, villas, branded clothing, parties, etc. The big issue is that you pay their luxury with your pensions, let's not do it anymore fellas.
PICKING UP THE CALL IS WHAT THEY LOVE THE MOST! Those who are low on computer knowledge, and those who ring them a call them, only tell them that they have money to lose. They inform you that you are being charged and offer a refund which gives them an advantage as soon as the phone rings the call is made for fear of losing a portion of your account savings, but that brings you on a hooked net.
Their most used fake companies to lie they are working for is: Microsoft Supp. or "Payment" Team(most usually) with 2nd place PAYPAL Supp., further to Federal Bank Administrative, and Amazon Payment Supp, with most victims not having anything with the real companies that they tell to be working for but still fall on the SCAM which is too much embarrassing for some people I suppose, you will learn how to rise flags in continuation.
MAIL IS, MY OLD FELLAS, WORST FOR YOUR SECURITY, BUT FOR SCAMMERS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EARN MONTHLY BONUS -A Good Portion got robbed after messing around their inbox… What chance do elderly people have after being targeted, when they made me think about the situation I was in, recently. With their prepared type of scenarios for your age where scammer usually plays on the "You Won Big Time" or "You made an enormous mistake and need to report to us ASAP" but the actions never happened same as the rewards/refund they promised were never real.
Not much time has passed since "the enemy" started their most recent "You are Hacked" Bait attack. With mail that looks "exactly like it was sent by your account, to your mail, as sometimes I send it to myself when I need a long note. I have seen a lot of their baits as I have been using mail since I touched the keyboard for the first time in my life. My mail has been under constant login attack for years by poor souls that I call NPCs(living on autopilot) due a to lack of real-life in their fake reality.
As I never received this specific bait prior I admit it took me off guard.
I don't own a webcam cause I am not using it ever at all & I am young, no more, to be enjoying nudity around the house as I am parenting instead. My profile being the sender itself got me in a never-before-seen Search and Destroy stance.
Investigation troubleshooting started quickly, noticing in a couple of seconds that there was 0 Hack present on my PC and my Network, with no malicious code or suspicious processor thread or task being present and, The Antivirus found 0 threat on deep scan confirming I'm safe.
Afterward, I was able to quickly track the sender's IP, and the last hop of the sender's IP was pointing to the famous choice for criminals the Stark Industries Solutions VPN Service Server, the company is the ISP provider a well-known shady acts that always lead to that server, stationed in the US, used by scammers.
Text clear as day, smarter than they appear usually says: you are hacked with the program used as spyware "PEGASUS".
Even "not properly updated" Windows Defender can recognize and quarantine this antiquity cause it served as Israeli's Secret S. gadget for years and it is well known to the cyber security teams across the globe. I had no reason to pop up all my hair as they are only sending the bait via mail-forwarding services like Microsoft Exchange in the hope that the crypto will arrive at the address scammer provided, otherwise allegedly my compromising XXX content will be seen by all my family and contacts.
They target profiles with prepared scenarios to bait your money out depending on your age or gender how the bait will look, without anyone being hacked or data being compromised less low anyone performing perverted aerobatics in front of the non-existent WebCam makes it clear that the attack is only the "bait" but the thing that worries me is that they are getting better in preparing the scenarios and analyzing their "customer market" for the first time it made me feel I lost my mail and credentials being breached...I was not prepared for the intellect upgrade by stupid people.
MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, BANK, CAR DEALERS, INVESTMENT AGENTS, INSURANCE AGENTS, FIREWALL TECH: NONE OF THEM WILL EVER SEND YOU MAIL TO CALL THEM PROVIDING NUMBER BECAUSE THEIR JOB IS TO DIAL YOU ALL DAY IF NEEDED TO HEAR FROM YOU! -THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS IF YOU ARE ENGAGED IN A RANDOM CUSTOMER PRODUCT SUPPORT INCIDENT, but THEY WILL AGAIN CALL FIRST
The real Customer Support Desks are 99% mailing you to reach out after you failed to answer their calls and, them wasting all your contact information prior (private/business/work facility numbers.
AS SOON AS YOU HEAR I WILL CONNECT TO YOUR COMPUTER IS A BIG RED FLAG, HANG UP THE SAME SECOND! Don't EVEN INSTALL REMOTE ACCESS SOFTWARE ON THE PC or the PHONE!
When you approve remote control of your PC you approved to share all your HDD Data too and If you are on the call regards to payment issue remote connection to your PC is not needed because the real agent being their representative has your fund account "in hands" in their internal system with granted permissions to initiate the hell he wants I suppose.
I wouldn't authorize my own child to control my system.
Additionally, you will be always aware of why they are contacting you because the issue that they are working on was reported by you. If you didn't report anything and you are receiving the call from any Customer Support is against the logic and should be handled with extra caution, I would simply let it ring out every time I don't have an issue at all with my system as it is known that few companies used their Help Desk outcalls to quote the customers with never received services such as work orders being created, etc.
How to oversee scammers move in this tiny example: are using a MacBook Laptop and receiving mail from Microsoft Support that you should give them a call to receive a refund or something because you are charged for a Windows product by accident? That shall raise alarm that same second you read the word Microsoft as an Apple User, and because they are not so smart to perfect the crime, they are mostly easy to detect on a first look at the subject line and sender address. If suspicious right-click on the mail and click block/report spam as you are a MAC user, there is no logic in this world per which you are getting a refund from Microsoft.
-If you are using Windows, Microsoft Support won't mail you regarding such an important issue where money is in question, they would assign your Account Executive or Sales Representative to contact you. In the case where you just bought Windows OS on a new PC, without an active subscription to Microsoft products...they won't reach you in a million years, even by accident, cause they don't have a single reason to keep your contact in their system.
Dear Fellas, Heads UP! Foe sees you as easy profit and they primarily target your life savings.
Have someone, a relative, neighbor, or friend who is capable of providing you with details at any moment that you feel unsure about the situation on the Web.
Staying Safe on the Blockchains, Gen Z not proving worthy their role❄️
1. Like Grandpas, DON'T CLICK THE DAMN NONSENSE in your INBOX, or even open the unknown ones, as our elders lost their savings you will get your crypto stolen before you refresh the wallet.
Rumors have been present for some time that your PC can get infected d loading the image file from the mail content and it is not an unknown thing at all. Stay pre-calculated!
The phone that you use only for Crypto can be infected with a simple SMS sent to you...without needing any interaction with it performed by you, like a Warlock spell…quietly buries you before you can realize that you took the last breath.
Slowly consider interacting with the virus as a must to get infected as EOL(end of life), you only receive it, and BANG, the hacker has your network and when you realize, they cleaned your wallet to be like a new one.
After they transfer your coin, what usually happens is that the Crypto is sent to an Enormous number of wallets including multiple exchanges mixing your precious tokens to the point where your asset can't be tracked or frozen never again, stolen by the Humanoid Scum.
2. Nothing is FREE, and NONE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO REWARD YOU if there is not at least a bit of their interest in doing that.
Do you think someone just waits to throw you valuable coins without you doing something or providing some effort? Think again...
You sign PERSONAL Authorization Approval for that network to be able to request the transaction on your behalf aiming to receive 0.30$ of some BonkPengui or CatiZDogsiy promised to be airdropped to your hands.
I don't compromise even the wallet address anymore if the story isn't legit, from a legit crew o, or risk managed by someone prior because I am not sure anymore f they can steal any info from me or initiate transactions on behalf of my signature when crypto becomes legal and less protected via authentication factor, same as CCs are getting more and more nerfed from the security standpoint.
If you store a wind only in that wallet at that moment, If I stole your info I would wait until you collect some more...POW Thingy…To be worthy of "operating", if you know what I mean? XD
My TON Wallet Connections already looks like a "Turkish Harlem" and I have to create a new one..
3. If you are "GEN Z/IT GEN "or "WhateverZ", you are supposed to have more awareness when it comes to Web Surfing, but it appears as .far from aware
My talk is based on my experience where the worst story of a Security Breach unfolded:
Major Enterprise Server Outage due to a Gen Z employee thinking he was the Company Winner as it stated on the popup that he went for the same second. "Claim the Ultimate Company Benefits" in a phishing mail sent by a believed to be a Russian kid who mercilessly used his credentials to install our program before proceeding to shut down our complete customer network and our "protected" backup server leaving us with month old bakcup.
I used to think that newbies would beat us when it comes to IT handling but no offense, can I call you "HowManyLikes G", seems that it fits you best.
Being an advantage above other generations in terms of the time you HAD, AND(in vain) SPENT, with the electronics, most of you are not worthy of owning a telephone line.
-Per how it appears, we will very soon be born with Android already popping the notifications but less and less interested in how the thing actually works, disregarding the fact that you can't live without your IT device at all, especially Social Network addicted peps as well as Video Game Chads like myself.
-Most of you don't even know about the component roles and which processes lead to your device functionalities. I might be too old fashioned>it is important that you can see how many likes you have and when you can't see anymore, you will get a new one.
It makes me feel very old, just knowing I can perform at least a few steps when my device dies out to try to get it back up and running even if I used to drink mud from street hole puddles in the age that today "kids" are playing MMORPG and trading Skins with positive $ROI without any clue what is making that possible. I hope that you will be better than social network scrolling, I believe in you!
Never fail yourself as mentioned below:
4. Happened to many but If it ever happens to me I will leave all and go live alone on a mountain peaks until I forgive myself>DON'T EVER, NEVER...PROVIDE SOMEONE WITH WORD PASSWORD PHASE OF YOUR WALLET (12-24 word password that unlocks your wallet that should be backed up onto safe space like FLASH USB).
ONLY THE ENTITY THAT WANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY WILL ASK FOR IT, REMEMBER!
No agent or any other person that you possibly can receive help from needs your passphrase, in the only case, you are giving the wallet address of the specific token you want to receive from someone when clicking Deposit or Receive.
Watch out when you put in your phrase even if the WEBSITE IS LOOKING the Same as your WEB3 PROVIDER, double check THE DOMAIN, as a precaution to compromise the assets.
Posted above is an example of a PI Blockchain that is switching to the main net soon, and a lot of scammers are trying to snatch those before it even opens for exchange and trading begins for its users
'Poor PI Coin" being overwhelmed with scammer Armies and a completely Newbie community in this industry, with a lot of users stationed in less developed countries and per what I saw on forums, they got ripped off! Mostly providing their phase passwords to the worst enemy.
I need help to Sell my Funds, Crypto SCAM, old but gold.
If you see posts like "Please, help me move/selling my 1000USDT from my wallet I am not able to do it!" with a picture of the passphrase or just copied onto the post it is about the old known scam on TRX Network.
I will post below the SS example, the SCAM works when you connect the wallet and try to steal the USDT that is lying there. There is always a situation where there is a lack of TRX in the wallet to perform the transaction or Swap, and it just waits for you to deposit your TRX. As soon as the asset you or the other victim sent arrives in the wallet it will be instantly moved by a bot algorithm that is logged onto the same wallet on another device.
Once I just entered and to take a look at that TRX transactions...and...Sweet Baby Jesus, Scammers are not wasting any second, it was snowing TRX on their private address on the receiving point of the algorithm.
It is always EASY TO IDENTIFY the SCAMMER because if he is the one, he is mostly not very smart PERSON and it is enough to throw him of his trained path to get a conclusion about the noobs not being able to Speak Fluently at all, RED FLAG!
Unique Scammer terms that STINK ON SCAM, like many of my favorites "You send the coin first, then I am doing transaction afterward", or other theft ideas like:
"I don't roll under 100$ my dearest brother, because I can't pull money to pay you for less from my supplier".
It is because he knows you will uncover him after the first deal you lose to them and that’s why they always want to pull MAX AMOUNT with the first transaction in the hope they will make you send more to receive the money they owe you, but in reality you will get 0 always.
Scammers as they are proven to be, want to steal from uneducated people, unaware people, usually older people are those who fall into their deathly hug.
But let's hope that they don't mess up single honest citizen anymore, Inform your Grandparents, your parents, and friends, those who seem weak targets for overseas Scammers is the information they are being provided with.
Tech evolved past them quickly and they couldn't catch up with the innovation, same reason is why they have ZER0 Cyber Security awareness.
Even though it is illegal in their homelands across the seas, it doesn't mean a heck to them as they attend to normal work hour schedules as we all do.
The law in their countries for computer crime and cyber theft is being enforced and sanctioned all the time per their ministry statements, but I would say only with exceptions each day, 360 days in a year, with 5 days of holidays, leaving the justice to be served never, the scammers feel well preserved and protected in their crime. No remorse for the victims.
They take exception to cases that they can't ignore anymore under external international pressure and being pushed by the other victim enforcement agencies' investigations, unfortunately, after the volume and impacts on many victims' financial stability climbed too high. To the point that the domestic authority can't ignore the damage done to their citizens anymore.
Without victim playing a huge role in providing the evidence, and even begging the police while pushing them to do something in vain, they perform the same on this question for decades, defending their "Sweet Envelope" Scammys because the "SWEET GREED" and "Sweet Corruption" is their way of survival, I can say, through generations at this point.
Thanks for all the time spent reading this one!
I hope that by sharing this Article in the future I will be able to quickly assist unaware clickers Stay Safe and I wish you all best of the luck.

Much Love, Don't be an EZ target!
Until next time, see ya soon!
