User need to exercise caution upon joining airdrop because some of the airdrop is not legit. Especially if KYC is required.
Users need to analyze whenever it's worth to give our precious data to unknown company for small airdrop.
We do understand that KYC is needed in order to eliminate multiple join, but this data could be fall to wrong hand.

Most of the airdrops are safe, People become prey when they have lack of information. All you need is to do some research work to avoid scams. It will be good to visit trusted sites to check which airdrop campaigns are legit and which is not.
Even a long running airdrop website will never know if the airdrop is legit or might be scam aAirdrop is safe as long they will never ask your private key.
I seen many fake airdrops sometimes they send it to me by an email and sometimes you can see it in social media and they are asking for privatekey.
Airdrops are safe if you did not make any wallet interactions or transactions that can lead to unauthorized transactions without your permission, the safest thing to do is only give them your public wallet address and wait for the token to receive in your wallet.
Well, in most cases they are safe (but be careful with your personal data...)
Btw, it's very unlikely that you'll have some kind of gain with airdrops, usually you lose your time.

No I don't think so they are useless totally waste of time even risky because along the way they will ask for KYC and on top of that they will ask you to invest more to unlock your airdrops, majority of them do not have a roadmap and platform that they can bring to the community.
I stopped participating in airdrops after Ebtc, you are just being used by the developers so they can get listing their coin in the exchange to dump their coin.

Bookmark this page: airdrops.io. I am using this site for about two years and I have to say that they list only legit crypto airdrops.
Participating in airdrops that you find in a telegram group posted by spammers are highly risky because you can really loose your cryptocurrencies by sending them "FEE" or even worse private key.

Thank you. Nice site. Legit you say? Well, I see no reason why not to. Nothing to lose all to gain right? Lol I once actually did pay a fee for an airdrop and believe it or not it turned out legit. 9 months later I got $100 for the token. It didn't make sense to me either.
Yeah most of the time airdrops are safe. But the problem with the airdrops are they are not worthy. Most of them. Most of the times those coins never come to the market and those which come are very cheap. So ibtjink airdrops are nothing but a waste of time. Sometimes they push to collect data that's very rare though.

Airdrop is safe, but I don't see the point in taking part in them now, because they pay very little and the time spent is not worth it
It is the best choice for the newbies to take parts airdrops because they do not really need much time and can bring good profit. However, it must be done in compliance with the rules of their own cybersecurity, and you must not think that you will get money quickly. It is not a job and not a way to get a stable income. This is just a lottery that you can win if you sure, take part in it.
Airdrops are safe as long as you are not giving out your information for these freebies, Just look at the Stellar Airdrop for example, they wanted KYC for just few Dollars to me is not worth it, but there are some that only require you to do some few tasks, like retweeting and other things

Airdrop are unsafe in those cases:
1) You paste your private keys somewhere. Or use your wallet.dat file in the airdrop wallet.
2) You install malicious sowtware downloaded from airdrop websites.
3) In some rare cases even airdrop website can be malicious.

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.
Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?

If any airdrop request btc or eth or fee it must be scam
And leave project and don't invest...
U can particpate to any legit project
Like Counos

I've never participated in any airdrop that asked for signing... usually you register (address and little more than that) and than you wait... 10% of the times you actually receive the airdrop...
I've heard about a lot of scams asking for signatures, private keys, etc...
Airdrops are free and usually worthless so be carefull about what you need to do to get you airdrop...

It has been a while since I have joined an airdrop. From my experience, none of them has asked me to sign anything. Airdrops are supposed to be free and you do not need to send anything to them. Anyone asking you to send first are scams.
thats right, and never drop your private key or secret key to any airdrop project buddy
because i ever heard somebody said that he must drop our private key in airdrop project, for sure you should not join a kind of airdrop project like that
Unsafe, airdrops are now mostly scam and they want to collect participants' information. You will get nothing from airdrop except for tokens that have no value
in my opinion there is no harm in following airdrop, airdrop is safe, free, and sometimes profitabl , but that needs to be noticed, and dont give something that does not make sense. Usually the requirements to follow Airdrop only provide data according to ID card, wallet address, and social media
No, I've never seen any airdrop campaigns require you to sign your address to make sure that you own it. That right there is a red flag for me. Airdrops may ask you for your email address and it may backfire at you if they start selling your data to other projects, and you'll get tons of emails regarding that.
There are projects that are focused on incentivizing their members, I guess we can say that it's kind of an airdrop where you reward people supporting and helping you out. A fashion blockchain company is using the Ethereum blockchain to reward their members who shop and later cash it out. Final word is that you should be cautious of what they ask you for, especially if they ask you to do KYC or such things.

Please be aware of those airdrops that are suspicious, because they will scam you. If you see that the project has no website or if they have website but looks like kids can code this website then don't join those kinds of airdrops. They will just offer you such airdrop with no payment.
No payment! it isn't problem, if stole your information by KYC or forced to enter phishing website that is the problem. No one want to join suspicious website even also low code. Although I don't like if KYC need for airdrop participate, for me this is the scam signal. 
Airdrops is safe if we are talking about investment but it could be dangerous for your personal data privacy. You could be hacked from your data and be used for criminal purposes. So we should be careful about using our personal data by joining airdrops.
