We mostly talk about keeping our cryptocurrency investment online but appear to ignore keeping our investment from friends, family, and other possible people that can't be trusted when it comes to our holding.
We have seen the CashAPP CEO murder for the same reason.
What are the benefits of keeping our investment in real life?
There are some benefits to keeping your cryptocurrency investments private both online and in real life because it is the act of protecting your wealth from potential theft or fraud.

Yes, and it may appear not to be good for the people in charge of these activities but this is expected when an ecosystem is yet to reach 10 years.

Yes, there's no shortage of gamblers in the cryptocurrency market but I come to understand that every ecosystem users have some area they focus on and it seems that the UtopiaP2P ecosystem doesn't focus on gambling at the moment.
You have a point and I could remember that whenever people create a table for poker finding an opponent on the table is always not easy.
I supported what you said because we can't say that the poker game also needs more publicity since the UtopiaP2P development has an advertisement campaign for it on Bitcointalk.

If we remove cryptocurrency all the listed above investments are considered more legal by the government than cryptocurrency.
Nevertheless, each investment type still has its own set of risks and returns, and investors must consider their financial goals, time horizons, and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.
Meanwhile, investment in cryptocurrencies has the most potential to offer high returns, it is important to remember that cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and subject to risks such as market volatility, technological challenges, and regulatory changes.
Yes, every great opportunity will also come with great risk but the risk in cryptocurrency can still be minimal if consider everything you stated.

When we say something is legal and valid investment policy all over the world it has to do with it being embraced by the governmental body and the last time I checked some government bodies don't embrace cryptocurrency.
You're right and for the record, cryptocurrency is only legal in El Salvador, some areas in UK/US, and Central Africa. However, it's only used as legal tender in El Salvador and Central Africa not worldwide.

The US. government in relation to planning the 2014 cyber-heist of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. The Department of Justice (DoJ) has charged two Russian nationals. Gox.
Aleksandr Verner, 29, and Alexey Bilyuchenko, 43, have been charged with conspiring to launder about 647,000 bitcoins that were taken from September 2011 through at least May 2014 as a result of unauthorized access to a server holding crypto wallets used by Mt. Gox users.
"Beginning in 2011, Bilyuchenko and Verner stole a significant sum of cryptocurrency from Mount. Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Mr. Polite Jr. In a statement, said.
"Armed with the gains from Mount. The infamous BTC-e virtual currency exchange, which served as a money laundering front for online criminals around the world, is said to have been founded with assistance from Gox and Bilyuchenko.
".
Additionally, it is claimed that between March 2012 and or around April 2013, Bilyuchenko and Verner laundered over 300,000 of the stolen digital assets using an unnamed New York-based Bitcoin brokerage service through sizeable wire transfers into numerous offshore bank accounts.
In 2011, Bilyuchenko founded the BTC-e exchange with the assistance of Alexander Vinnik and others, using the stolen cryptocurrency from Mount. Gox, one of the main channels through which cybercriminals cashed out the proceeds of their illegal activities, was shut down by law enforcement in 2017. Prior to that, it was one of the main sites.
Vinnik was returned to the U.S. from Greece. S. but has since pushed to take part in a potential prisoner swap between the U.S. and the U.K. S. the Wall Street Journal reported late last month.
According to the DoJ, "BTC-e served over a million users globally, transferring deposits and withdrawals totaling millions of bitcoin and processing transactions totaling billions of dollars.".
"BTC-e received criminal proceeds from a number of computer hacking incidents, identity theft schemes, corrupt public officials, and drug distribution networks. ".
If found guilty of the money laundering charges brought against the two, they each face a potential sentence of 20 years in prison. For running an unlicensed money services business, Bilyuchenko might also receive an additional 25 years in prison.
Mt. Gox, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange at the time, officially shut down soon after the theft and declared bankruptcy in February 2014. The CEO of the exchange, Mark Karpelès, was identified as a key suspect and detained in Japan in August 2015 after being accused of fraud and embezzlement.
Karpelès was later found guilty of data manipulation by the Tokyo District Court and sentenced to two and a half years in prison with a suspension in Japan in 2019. Charges of embezzlement were dropped against him, though.
This new development follows the three-year prison sentence handed down to Mihai Ionut Paunescu, a 39-year-old Romanian citizen, for operating a bulletproof hosting service that "allowed cybercriminals to distribute malware strains like Gozi, Zeus, SpyEye Trojan, and BlackEnergy.
In July 2021, Paunescu was detained in Colombia and later extradited to the US. an additional $3.51 million in forfeiture and $18, 945 in restitution have been imposed upon the defendant a year later.
The legal action also corresponds with the U. S. Maximilian Rivkin, a criminal with ties to Serbia who resides in Sweden and was identified as an "administrator and influencer" on the encrypted messaging app AN0M (also known as ANoM), is the subject of a reward offer from the State Department that could be worth up to $5 million for information that results in his capture and conviction.
A Trojan horse set up.
2018 saw the covert surveillance of criminal actors on the platform by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). 300 organized crime groups operating in 100 countries purchased about 12,000 devices with AN0M fittings.
Following an analysis of more than 27 million messages containing discussions on drug trafficking, money laundering, drug shipments, and even violent threats, the three-year sting operation known as Trojan Shield resulted in more than 800 arrests in 18 different countries.

One reason could be that the exchange development team focuses on maintaining a high level of security and efficiency for its existing trading pairs, rather than spreading its resources too thin by adding more pairs.

#1761 Articles and News » 1,000+ Fake Cryptocurrency Site » 2023-06-12 23:39:30

- Replies: 0
Since at least January 2021, a previously undetected cryptocurrency scam has used a network of over 1,000 shady websites to lure users into a false rewards scheme.
In a report released last week, researchers from Trend Micro linked a Russian-speaking threat actor by the name of "Impulse Team" to a "massive campaign" that "has likely led to thousands of people being scammed worldwide.".
The scheme deceives victims into thinking they have won a specific amount of cryptocurrency using an advanced fee fraud. However, the victims would have to make a small payment to open an account on their website in order to receive their rewards. ".
In order to trick potential targets into visiting the decoy site, the compromise chain begins with a direct message spread via Twitter. The message-sending account has since been deleted.
The message encourages recipients to create an account on the website and use a promo code provided in the message to enter to win a cryptocurrency prize worth 0.78632 bitcoin (or roughly $20,300).
However, once a user creates an account on the fraudulent platform, they are required to activate it by making a minimal deposit of 0.01 bitcoin (roughly $258) in order to verify their identity and finish the withdrawal.
Although significant, the amount required to activate the account is small compared to what users would receive, the researchers said. The recipients who pay the activation fee, however, never receive anything in return, as was to be expected. ".
Between December 24, 2022, and March 8, 2023, the actors received a little over $5 million as a result of the illegal transactions, according to a public Telegram channel that tracks every payment made by the victims.
Hundreds of domains connected to this fraud, some of which were active as early as 2016, were discovered, according to Trend Micro. All of the phony websites are associated with a "scam crypto project" called Impulse, which has been promoted on Russian forums for cybercrime since February 2021.
The business requires affiliate actors to pay a fee to join the program and split a portion of the profits with the original authors, just like ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operations.
Threat actors are thought to have created a lookalike version of the well-known anti-scam tool ScamDoc, which assigns a trust score for various websites, in a plausible attempt to pass off the dubious crypto services as reliable.
As evidence that the affiliates are employing a variety of techniques to publicize the fraudulent activity, Trend Micro added that it also came across private messages, online videos, and advertisements on other social networks like TikTok and Mastodon.
The researchers noted that by providing hosting and infrastructure so that its affiliates can manage these phishing websites on their own, the threat actor streamlines operations for its partners. Affiliates are able to focus on other aspects of the business, like managing their own advertising campaigns, as a result. ".
The discovery of the phony giveaway scam comes at the same time as a recent rash of cryptocurrency theft attacks carried out by Pink Drainer, a threat actor who has been exposed for impersonating journalists in order to take over victims' Discord and Twitter accounts and promote phony cryptocurrency schemes.
As of June 11, 2023, data collected by ScamSniffer indicates that Pink Drainer had successfully breached 2,307 accounts to take more than $3.29 million in value in digital assets.
The discoveries also come weeks after Akamai revealed a resurrected Romanian cryptojacking campaign called Diicot (previously Mexals), which uses a Golang-based Secure Shell (SSH) worm module and a new LAN spreader for propagation.
Then, in a report published last month, Elastic Security Labs described how the XMRig cryptocurrency miner was spread throughout several Asian nations using an open-source rootkit known as r77.
R77 is "an ideal tool for cybercriminals looking to carry out stealthy attacks," the researchers said.
"r77's primary purpose is to hide the presence of other software on a system by hooking important Windows APIs.".
The developers of the malicious crypto miner were able to avoid detection and carry out the rest of their campaign undetected by using the r77 rootkit. ".
It's important to note that the Quasar SeroXen remote administration tool, which is being offered for only $30 for a monthly license or $60 for a lifetime bundle, also includes the r77 rootkit.

The retirement age can vary by country and by employer and can be influenced by factors such as life expectancy, health status, and economic conditions.
In many developed countries, the retirement age is generally increasing due to increasing life expectancies and concerns about rising healthcare costs.

One of the greatest risks of cryptocurrency ownership is the risk of losing your coins or tokens due to improper device safety. Therefore, cryptocurrency investors need to take the necessary precaution to prevent the loss of their cryptocurrencies
One of the necessary precautions is getting a hardware wallet which is a type of wallet that is not vulnerable to hack attacks as it stores your coins in an offline environment.
However, precautions still need to be taken because hardware wallets can be vulnerable to physical attack.

It would be impossible to link the stolen coins to any specific individual or account. Therefore the stolen cryptocurrency will be gone forever.
I think will be nice if we have an immediate or automatic deactivation of uWallets which would prevent the sending of transactions from vulnerable wallets.
