Do you think that we should now accept the occurrence of these scams and hacks as very normal in the cryptocurrency industry...and what are the things we can do to protect ourselves from them?
OMG that's a big number, I mean how a person can lose it all in one trade, was he making the tx in one go, if yes then he should have made more then one tx, and maybe after 1 or 2 he would notice the ignorance he is doing. Address poisoning is a very common scam, and most of people become a target of it when their clipboard gets hacked, or when the victims copy addresses from the last tx they received (using explorer maybe).
This really gives me goosebumps to imagine what would be the situation of that person who lost that much money, $68 million is not a joke, and an overall lose of $502 million is also insane. We should really not accept the occurrences of these scams, although they are common, and many newbies become a prey to it, but seeing experts people losing it all idk why hurts the most. We should raise more awareness, and help people to realize that there is no place for ignorance in this market, they should suspect things even if the things looks idiotic to ask about.
