⚡️❌ The X account of Dean Norris, a leading actor in Breaking Bad, was hacked to promote a Memecoin.

It's become increasingly difficult to distinguish between legitimate celebrity mentions and scams.

The token rose to $7 million marketcap before rug and losing 90%.

This is the second time Dean Norris has had his account hacked to promote a Memecoin after September 2024.

The hackers even shared a fake image of Norris holding a notepad with the Memecoin ticket and date to appear more legitimate.

Norris got his account back and posted a video where he declares, "Hey, it's Dean Norris, actually, all this crazy crypto shit was a complete fake scam. I got hacked and I just got it back".

How do I know THIS video is real now?!

That’s why people should stop using centralized platforms like X. Instead they should use cryptography-oriented platforms like Nostr.

I agree, but keys will still get compromised as well. Then you are screwed. Guess bunkers would help with that??

You are right. Something is not totally finished about safety in Nostr.

Nothing better than educating people about phishing technics.

Personally I use the alby extension on my laptop to sign my Nostr interactions. I assume the risk is less bigger. What do you think ?

I use @alby on desktop as well for the extension and I run albyhub locally. Amber on android and it is awesome. That has upped my mobile usage a lot since I didn't trust putting my nsec in just any app. Especially after I decided to stick to one identity.

Do you know an equivalent of amber on iOS ?

I don't use ios myself, but think I have heard people talking about damus and nostur both being able to do event signing? Not sure though, @jb55 would be able to tell you, he made #damus.

Keep the Twitter hacks coming, there’s only one platform ready to go with ColdCard signing.

Tell me more. I am assuming you mean nostr. What extensions provide coldcard signing?

I can’t prove it, but heard a rumour about the Coldcard Q and signing more than just Bitcoin transactions. Yes, NOSTR.

…but I mean, of course that’s inevitable. Social media cold storage.
