in order to avoid all the scams , first we can take is use of common sense as nobody is going to give you some *get-rich* Bitcoin mining software, nor is somebody going to sell you any kind of legitimately acquired goods at unreasonably low prices. Do not download and run software from unknown/random users on a machine that you actively use. Even running it inside a VM may not be safe enough.

This really great post. Most of us do not aware of these things. Being more aware of this will make us safe. Please continue educating us more.

This thread is quite an eye opening one. I will be more careful henceforth. Especially as a airdrop hunter, I have to download a lot of these wallets that my Antivirus used to flag, but being naive, I do exempt the programs from the Antivirus grip. Henceforth, it won't happen again. I will be extra careful.

I already got different signs & tried to alert some people in this forum about this issue. After watching this post, now i am sure about this attempts. I think "Airdrop post" are the easy entrance for the Malware Infection. Correct me if i am wrong.

Thank you this thread I will now be more cautious. This is also the reason I dont participate on airdrops or bounties which requires downloading their wallet or some application as I highly suspect them as malware or a virus. Better safe than sorry and there are always other projects to offer rewards without any downloads.

Thanks for the advance guidance. I think such problem occurred with windows, imac and linux is more secure than it. But, I study more for this type issue.

After suffering an attack once, I've been very cautious of clicking on most malicious links I come across. Once bitten, twice shy they say

Besides new wallets and scam ICOs, bounty hunters and airdrop chasers should check very carefully before participating in such campaigns. Scammers are now more than ever using airdrops as baits for hacking and phishing. Please avoid any airdrop that gives direct link to your MEW or other wallet account. You may end up on a scam wallet site.
Yes you are right, scammers are increasingly sophisticated and in recent times there have been a lot of cases of infection through airdrops , it is necessary to be very attentive and careful.
This Hooligans know nothing but to steal from others. They are creative enough to create such innovation just to get other people's coins. why can't they just direct this enthusiasm into good use? Really appreciate the warning and tips from this post.
I personally experienced this with one of my MEW wallets. I was doing and airdrop and little did I know that my cons are being transferred 1 by 1. I lost about $800 worth of coins from that wallet and potentially more.

damn, a lot of things. what do you think about DNS services? anti-viruses also solve the problem of hacking. I do save all passwords on flash drive to the computer nothing happened

Some steps must be taken which are good enough to protect your systems to be hacked such as not to use unknown exe, use of linux which seems to be less vunarable to virus.

what's the coin name ?

Much appreciated this was exceptionally useful. Malware contamination attemps is turning into an everyone issue. Programmers are winding up more risky and we additionally require focus on airdrop or giveaway. Numerous individuals will in any case lose their cash in next years....so data, similar to your post, is valuable. Much thanks to you.
