This is a good reminders for all the participants joining in any kind of campaigns.  Everyone should be aware or must be watchful for scammers as we all know that scammers are really existing and they are real. Be wise, and make every  every effort to  identify those scammers.  Being a victim of scammers is very disgusting  and  very  frustrating so folks  watch  out for scammers.

hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .
Airdrops wont get your private keys,normally they will just require you to fill up some form with your bitcontalk account,wallet address and optional with email addresses you can use dummy email address so that you wont receive phishing emails from these people,do not waste your time with these stupid airdrops instead join bounty programs.
it wasnt airdrops whos OP stealing money,it was the people behind those airdrops that requires you to out email address,but your right airdrops are sucks,they are created by damn people whos involve in many shady activities here.people who loves to get from others than providing their own.this people must put behind bars

Thanks for your warn,  we might be careful now. And it's true,  many of the airdrop is scam or it has no value. And i think this the lesson to be more careful and your personal information become more secure.

Thanks for the warning. It's really hard to join some airdrops now a days, most of them are just scam. This should be a good lesson for us to not trust in most airdrops.

this is where anti malware programs should be working for you. I work in the tech industry and yes while it’s easy to make a script to look for a certain file from your hardrive, retrieving it is a bit of a stretch unless you were baited to another form that allowed the program to send the information back. I hope this serve as a lesson for everyone, the development of softwares to protect you from these kinds of attacks are there for a reason.

Nonetheless owning a cold wallet is always a great layer of security. There is no such thing as “Overly secured” especially ehen it’ thousands or millions worth of money is what you are talking about.

Be careful out there folks— 1. Never joins something that guarantees and are always to good to be true and 2. Always be secured.

How they can steal your private key through your eth address? Is that possible? 'cause I'm wondering 'cause actually those emails from airdrop is just a normal email which is its impossible to hack our private key.   unless if you used your private key to login on their sites then you verify it through the email from airdrop.  Hmmp

There are so many airdrops today that are unregulated and prone to scams. So let us not fall into their trap with too good to be true projects which they collect some personal data and some  private key on our wallets. So let's beware of these suspicious airdrops when they ask you some KYCrequirement, token donations and private key .

Yes for that we must be careful for the airdrop program, although not all airdrop programs like what you mentioned, but airdrop prize is small and it will make you lose time. It's better to follow the signature campaign, because it's more promising.

It could happen, when they send you a link to a pishing site of myetherwallet. So don't follow the links, then they will have no chance to hack your wallet. There are many scamming devs, but also airdrops of awesome cryptocurrencies.
yes this is right i agree with this, dont click the links they send especially if they personally email you some links offering ne airdrops or what so ever they want you to fill in, because in that way they can hack or access to your accounts i dont know how they did that but just be consious enough not to trust right away, because scammers are skilled people want to earn money in a bad way.

Thanks for this valuable information. Scammers won't really stop in their wrongdoings. Why there are people like this who's happy stealing from others. They don't have any respect to the feelings of their fellow human.

There are no free lunches under the sun. Although many airdrops can get free tokens by spending a small amount of time registering, it seems very appealing, but I would like to know how to study what airdrops are deceptive.

For safety of all people who love to join airdrops and you are unstoppable. Just don't send your private key to anyone. It's only for you to keep your funds safe and don't be so gullible that they will send your free tokens in exchange of your private keys that has balance. Once they gain access to your private keys, they can easily open your wallet.

I am totally confused, why a lot of hackers today can easily enter by building any forms of applications and then sometimes automatically downloaded to our gadgets. Many times I been discovered that some applications automatically downloaded to my phone. So, I difinitely say that social media also cannot detect hackers. Because they are giving way for some hackers entering here in social media. For me hackers can also contributes income into social media because they are freely here perform any abused and take advantage to other weak prople.

This is why I dont join on any airdrops anymore because of the scammers. Once you filled a form to join their airdrop they will send you an email and that email an attack to scam your private keys and other important things in your pc. It happen many times so better dont click an phishing attack in your email.
You should have installed an anti-malware/virus for safety reason. If you have one already then updating to latest version is very important.
I rarely join airdrop but if I join, I will not open a link they sent. It's better safe than sorry.
Anyway just continue your involvement in cryptocurrency and be careful from now on.
