I believe there are big scam projects in the previous years as well, but last year these became rampant because some were really seen to be getting good in their initial phases. But the point is there will always be scammers and scam projects, and they will be able to have victims as long as people don’t do research and just jump into such with the intention of gaining profit instantly. I think that’s one of the many misconception here, especially by the newbies in the field, that it is a market meant for instant success when clearly it is not.
Scams would be a never ending situation because there would be people who do really love to have that easy money which they do mostly target out those noobs in the market
this would be always existing on each year because there would be people who do easily believe about easy money through to too to be true offerings which would results
to make out some bad investment decisions.
It would be continuous and you should really be aware and be keen when it comes on dealing with everything.
scamming/hacking will not stop as long as these scammers can find a way how to screw the vulnerability of the site or the people themselves. in this digital age, they can always operate anonymously, so they are relying on naive users that will fall on their trap. and there will always be people who will be attracted to too-good-to-be-true rewards or returns. in terms of like hacking, softwares are getting sophisticated, so the sites should invest on their security protocol because hackers will not use the same tool but they will upgrade their hacking tools. they will try and try up until they got access into these sites.
but remember, some "hacking" issues are actually inside job. just to get away from their investors.
