Most of the airdrop only requires wallet address. Your just so dumb if you include your private keys and other details from yoir personal accounts. Always make sure your not sharing important parts of your informations.

Nowadays, Airdrop and Bounty posts receive coins, free tokens are everywhere. Many bad guys take the opportunity to create fake airdrop and fake bounty programs to collect your information for malicious purposes. Normally, they get your email, social network accounts for advertising or sales. In addition, many of the loopholes that reveal passwords will attempt to break into your account.

Many people with good security knowledge are not worried, but I know many of you do not know about security so if you disclose Email, password, private key of the wallet MEW risk of flying out of property.
that is make any sense..somebody could use our information to make something bad.
i used to toined many airdrop blind the eye to see..

99% of all the bitcoin is owned by 1% of all the users.

Bitcoin is an improvement to the monetary system only in efficiency. The main issue of the previous fiat currencies is more abundant in Bitcoin which is the concentration of the elites wealth making all other users slaves for the system.
Fair distribution and manipulation proof are the most important elements needed.

You should be the first dumb in the universe to provide your private key to anyone, especially for airdrop. If you dont care about security, you deserve to be hacked. And that´s all, there is no connection between airdrops and if you are stupid as f*ck.

Although bounty activities are also full of scams, airdrops are almost always air projects that do not have any value.
Of course, there are a handful of good coins in airdrops, such as Semux and ACC are the only two exceptions and they are really good.

Seems like you have earned quite a lot with the way you special mention those coins above. I haven't earned that much and never really into Airdrops, joined a few and luckily earn just a couple from a single coin. While the others turn out into nothing but trash. I don't join bounties as the "Stake" term confuses me.

A separate email for your airdrops and a different password for every site that your gonna join is a good way to protect your account from hackers.. just use the "remember me" option for passwords or just use the password recovery system..and the private key hacking they usually target newbies,hope that no one falls for that anymore. Always remeber the golden rule for your crypto wallet NEVER SEND your private key to anyone even if they promise you millions of token in returns.

So is it worthwhile for us to participate in airdrops? I'm mainly involved in the bounty because I think that bountys are more credible than airdrops. Although bounty activities are also full of scams, airdrops are almost always air projects that do not have any value.

I really appreciate you, thank you for reminding us all, to be careful in following the airdrop and bounty, especially in accessing and pasting the wallet address. it is true, that many crimes in airdrop and bounty world, but actually, there is or no airdrop and bounty, evil in cyberspace already exist, even much longer, so this is actually true for all activities within the beinternet.

I started taking part in airdrops in December 2018 since than seen lot of scam and fake airdrops & seen peoples loosing their accounts for being greedy airdrops and loosing all their airdrop earning. Well i was not greedy still happy to see my account safe and participated in airdrops which were legit. Now a days i don't take part in airdrops coz airdrop sucks my last airdrop was nucleus vision when the day of distribution was near I inquired about my status and the reply of the team was we don't find your data in our system, i was like what!!!! I was shocked coz I had confirmation mail of my entries for airdrop participation. Now a days 1/100 airdrops are only good in terms of values else each and every airdrop is worth of 1$ to 5$ and requires KYC.
What do you think guys is it worth to submit our data in terms of KYC for 1 to 5$ airdrop?HuhHuh

I haven't applied for an airdrop these days. Are they really asking for email and then the password??

Plus I don't think KYC is need for airdrops. KYC is more like big investors stuff. You know, banks won't let large money enter them without knowing where it came from.

It's not like they're asking for your email password. Maybe some of the airdrops required registration to their website or something.
And with some knowledge or whatever it is, they'll try to unlock your email password. Since they have the information about your email,
and the password you used for the web registration. Maybe they have the way to unlock your email password. Who knows?
We live in the world of technologies now. We just need to be careful about doing some activities that involve our information in it.

You have to use common sense when joining airdrops.

Use email, BTC or eth address and other sensitive details only created for airdrop purposes.
Never download new wallet on your computer. First, you have to check the file with virus scanner like VirusTotal but this is not always enough so try to use an exchange address even if airdrop staff will tell you that you can't. I have heard that for so many times always used exchange addresses and every time got my airdrop.
If there is no exchange and you have to download wallet you are not sure of. Just don't join this airdrop there is plenty of others.
Use different but easy to remember passwords for this airdrops different from any other passwords you ever use.
Sell fast at ATH and don't think that this tokens will be worth something in the future. They don't and 90% of them will be gone in few months.

Don't let scammers win, they think that greed will win with common sense and that depends only on you. Just my 2 cents.

i see a lot of KYC talking in here and yes, i say no to KYC for airdrops & bounty.
i stay away from ICO, even the legit ones, that requires KYC.

come on, don't give your private information to strangers just for a few bucks, don't be that stupid.
you'll never know where your information gonna end up.

the Cat-a-clysm.
If you give your private key in a form on an unknown website you deserve to be stolen from your ether. That's so dumb, i mean, anyone knows that the private key is... well, it's in the name. private
Also, you just need to stop using the same password everywhere. Unless you can enable 2FA, it's basically putting all the eggs in the same basket. ^^"
and for the email addresses... Just use an online e-mail generator, some of them work anywhere, they are for single-use and really useful when it comes to theses mass sign ups  Wink

Indeed! Especially KYC were almost implemented by ICOs and applied even with Bounties and Airdrops nowadays exposing your real personal details with your Passport, Banking accounts and exact location with your proof of billing address in which most people fall for this Trap because of the so called GREED

I think airdrops are going to become bigger and bigger due to regulations on securities. We will probably see a major crackdown on ICO's this year.
 So avoiding it isn't a great idea imho. What I do with airdrops is use a throw-away email with a throw-away password if they want some kind of registration.

e.g. my pass might be TheTreesAreGreen1, then you keep an excel file and just increment the number on that password for each of them. At most they get access to my logins of other airdrops. The scrap email will ofc have some other junk password.
If they ask for social media I just skip it tbh.

Agreed ! You provide your E-mail and people usually use the same password for many accounts related to crypto, so it can help a hacker but I have a question.
What if I have 2FA security on my accounts which I have balance in ? I f hacker got access to my E-mail and password, can he move my assets ?
