[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
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.

I'm not too interested to follow airdrop especially if you ask for complete data but their pay is not comparable. at that time, the same thoughts arise as you say. They do not actually build airdrop but only collect data for bad purposes, except at the same time they also run bounty.

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

Plus I dont think KYC is need for airdrops. KYC is more like big investors stuff. You know, banks wont let large money enter them without knowing where it came from.

All is good until they start to ask for KYC, we are aware, at least I do believe many of us are aware of potential sales going specially on the deep web or even between companies. It's okay when they ask about your name and email as there are many providers out there that will enable you to use some temp mail service for free or simply you go there and open up a new one. Above all you also have websites such as https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/  that will help you to make up new identity if you don't feel creative that day. Thing is regarding KYC that first off you can't trust startup that much for keeping your conditionals safe and specially you can't trust them if they turn out to be the scam and your details end up stolen.

I couldn't agree more.
Email + password required for registration = jackpot for the hacker

Thats why i use Fake Email and some random password for airdrops , just in case something bad happens with my account . As i see somebody already found my logins at some websites and trying to log in , as i get emails for suspicious activity on my some accounts . Today he did click password recovery on my Blizzard Account lol , but he cant get my email password  Grin

I also think that way, many bad guys are starting to make a profit by doing business cryptocurrency by cheating a lot of people to make it rich.

But we as human beings who have intelligence, should not take the wrong step to follow a project, it helps us find out first about the projects that we will do. So as not to lose after knowing that we are being cheated.
