Coingecko got phished.
One of their employees clicked on a phishing email and got hacked.
This is despite have 2FA turned on.
The hackers than used Coingecko official Twitter account to tweet out a fake GCKO coin listing.
Thankfully it was spotted, removed and sorted out before anyone bought it.
This is cryptoland.
Shit happens.
But if large companies specializing in crypto, with 2FA and security protocols can get into such trouble with hackers.
We all should be more careful.
The irony couldn’t be thicker.
Here we have an industry that’s all about uncrackable codes and decentralized security.
And what takes it down?
A phishing link.
It’s like having a bulletproof vest and being tripped by a banana peel.
It’s a trend, and a scary one indeed.
The SEC’s Twitter mishap?
Same story.
Phishing emails and links are everywhere.
It is easy to create, very hard for the everyday joe to discern and can cause some major damage.
Can we collectively do something about it yet?
We’re talking about an industry that promises digital nirvana, yet it’s tripping over the basics of internet security.
It’s like a spy who can deactivate lasers but can’t spot a trapdoor.
It’s simple. In our rush to the future, we forgot about the past.
Crypto’s Achilles’ heel isn’t the technology; it’s the people using it.
We’re in a digital arms race, focusing on sophisticated tech, while ignoring the guy with the simple screwdriver who can open any door.
We need to figure out how to limit the effects of human failure.
In the digital world, skepticism isn’t paranoia; it’s your best defense.
Careful with receiving “free stuff” in the crypto world.
That ‘too good to be true’ token sale?
Probably is.
In crypto, there is no free lunch.
Ever.
if you’re not questioning, you’re not paying attention.
How do we ever outsmart hackers?

Have you ever received a phishing email?
