ESET is a very popular anti-virus. I've used it and upon researching, it's one of the best anti-viruses out there.

When I look for a new project, the first thing I look at is the team, whether the team participates in events or comes out in public to show their face. Usually the people behind the scams always use a fake or random photo.

I really think the reason hardware wallets are not as popular as they should be is because people are cheap, they think they can obtain a software wallet for free and as such there is no point in getting a specific device that only does one thing, and while you may think this only happens to those that do not have a lot of money we have seen this happening to people with millions of dollars in bitcoin, so people like that which cannot use their common sense will lose their money sooner or later.

Many people are greedy or want an instant huge money, so they often fall prey to scammer.

Many techniques are used by fraudsters to steal our money, the best thing to avoid scams is to store cryptocurrencies in exchanges that implement KYC and activate 2FA which will create a high level of security by activating Google authenticator, so all transactions that occur must be verified with the pin provided by Google .

Common sense is the key but people are really making themselves dumb even it is already too obvious and just like on whats been said that people are neglecting the truth just because of their own greed.
We've been mainly recommending on making use of hardware wallets but people do really just simply neglect or ignore it out and when the time comes that they had been scammed or hacked
then that's the only time they do reconsider.Is this something surprising?
