One current scam allegedly perpetrated by North Korea was creating fake accounts that appeared to be associated with Coinlink and other cryptocurrency agencies. They would use those accounts to impersonate the companies. North Korean scammers relied on unsuspected people providing them with their login credentials.
Following Basic Cyber-Security Protocols May Help Protect Your Account
While hackers continue to use more sophisticated means to get what they want, following basic cyber-security protocols may help protect your cryptocurrency account. First, make sure that your computer’s security suite is updated. You should also make sure that you’ve installed all required updates.
When you check your email or social media accounts, don’t provide your user name and password to anyone. Consider this: when you call your Internet provider or your electric company, they verify your identity, but they never ask for your online person. Why not? Because they already have access to the account. They don’t need your password. They use verification measures to ensure that you are who you say you are. Keep your log-in credentials private. It could very well protect your investment.
