As a long-time bitcoiner, I need to ear bleach after listening to the 2025 conference talks. Bitconnect had less scam vibes…

I met these people at the NYC Milady rave and they told me they were the Lazarus Group. They were pretty chill tbh. Not saying what they did was ok but i think they are just trying to have fun online.

no cheating, post a pic of yourself

This thursday, I’ll be speaking about my experience being a crypto nomad and how to go about it!

many such cases

⚠️ Again… 1. Don't download shit linked to from DMs 2. Have your desired IM and video chat apps installed; don’t install new ones 3. Don’t store most of your onchain wealth in a software wallet 4. Go back to Step 1 https://x.com/leftsideemiri/status/1864859285324218832

I just opened a donation stream to BCard in the Octant Builder Accelerator SQF round! Support public goods by opening your stream with a real-time matching multiplier from this frame:

If you DC me a malware scam with this bio then that’s on you.

Web3 game malware scam: animaliagg on X (Animalia, aka Roarland) Red Flags: - I was already blocked on X - Shilled through DMs/DCs - No URLs promoted on X - Inconsistent production quality - Most X post replies are botted

Hey @aethernet what should we do about malicious users continuing to DC people malware scams like Rune Online over the last few months?

Have you donated to Bulwark✨ and my free continuous security work yet, anon? https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/42161/611/1

My anti-phishing extension Bulwark is accepting donations through GG22! Please consider supporting my work to fight against crypto phishing and malware scams. Funding not only goes to Bulwark but all my endeavours to make this space safer. 👇 Donate below https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/42161/611/1

Let’s stop calling scams like these new. Because they aren’t. They have been around for ages and calling it new demoralizes normal users into thinking that they can’t keep up in the game of protecting their assets from scammers.

Not sure what happened to Warpcast search, but A LOT of past casts calling out users that were shilling malware are no longer discoverable. Huge blow for people to be able to call out scammers and keep historical record of infractions. Now those scammers have a clean slate.

Watch out for new malware scams in your DCs that want you to download Brave Talk or another fake meeting app. If you don't already have a meeting app installed on your device, don't install one because some rando wants you to.

🙏 Thanks to everyone that donated to Protspec during GG21! But I can't stress enough how important grants and donations are for me to incentivize my work in anti-phishing and infostealer alerts. This will likely not continue without continuous support. You can still donate whenever through Gitcoin or the addresses in my bio. https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0xd4ba3516e2933a3ef765ac26637930c7881458b1cca8d4767b07027c5f010e50

🧠 The community is doing a good job of reporting and shutting down malware scams accounts targeting FC users! So figured I'd just post some actionable tips + a call to action for you to support my work going forward: - Do not download anything, especially executable or image files like EXE, DMG or PKG, from sources you just found out about through a DC/DM or even post - Do not download and open PDFs on your local machine from random people. Upload them to an online document viewer like Google Drive and view through there, to minimize possible damage if it's malicious (would have to be a browser 0-day to be effective, which these low-level scammers unlikely have access to) - If you feel you have to download an app, ask frens for second and even third opinions on it - Always keep your devices up-to-date on security updates And if I ever helped or saved your assets since I started posting on FC, I could use more contributions to my @gitcoin grant 🙏 https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/10/44/54
