I have to say, this crap is the best argument against Bitcoin. Cyber security is a mystery to 99.99% of normies and 90% of Bitcoiners. It may be a long grind before they/we are informed and equipped enough to handle our wealth safely. Tricky.

Tricky part is they didn’t even have to spoof it, as difficult as that would be, they just had to scam around it.. Agree, normies could have easily been played…
Trying to get a non techie friend setup now with cold storage… How do I get him comfortable with it..
Would having like a quick checklist for non tech people be helpful? I normally take care of the InfoSec things for my family and friends when they ask, but what would be the best way to warn people without constantly being there to help? Some sort of cheat sheet for spoofing, scamming, phishing, etc? Things to trust and not trust? Would help to get perspective from general public. 🐶🐾🫡
Jameson Lopp has great articles about cybersecurity and Bitcoin.
It’s definitely a good start.
