Can this problem be stopped?

It often happens to me that I see the extension without insight on my wallet, but it is on the explorer, if I would add it and start trading, I would lose everything remaining with just one transaction, because that's what it's about, it goes to another wallet, everything within a second . I left it where it is so it won't end up anywhere.

Are you saying that making smart contract calls with the phishing token drains all of your funds? I'm not up to date with the latest phishing attacks, but last time I checked usually a scammer exploits a contract but can't spend everything unless you interact with a phishing website/exchange[1]. Not sure if your case is related to a sell tax exploit or not[2]. Btw, I have so many phishing tokens on my wallets too, which are usually distributed for privacy attacks or to trick me into buying fake tokens.

On the Enkrypt wallet through the Pancakeswap exchange, there was a change in the status of the assets, namely that two new altcoins were displayed that I don't know about, is it spam or some kind of theft attempt? How to prevent something like this, I can't see further transactions because it doesn't show on the Bscscan website. It is the BNB network.

You can't prevent others to send you coins. This is basically what happened, they just send you spam tokens.
They are most likely phising attempts to make you go to a website and get infected by some malware. Just ignore those tokens, and google about anything before going directly to their website.

I will note your suggestion first because until now I have never had a case like this and hopefully I will never experience a bad case like this. Spam Tokens sent to various wallets and then can create havoc for those who check it and then enter their phishing website which is already infected with malware and will later hack our files on the notebook. This is very scary and must be in this crypto environment. This must be avoided.

It is better if we do not know the token, do not touch the token or make transactions with the token because we will lose, As far as I know, mri will take valuable assets in our wallet and drain them. So be careful. Many use traps in airdrops if we claim rewards and allow access to our wallet, we lose all assets in the wallet.

This is not scary.

This is as scary as having an email address lol

Just like you can't prevent spam e-mails, you can't prevent spam tokens.

Since ethereum early days people receive This kind of tokens  I remember I receive dozens of those since 2017, my first eth wallet..

The problem is that the token enters our wallet and we see it ourselves with clear eyes. If those who are curious are sure they rush to sell the token. Instead of getting hundreds/thousands of dollars, the fact is that their wallet is hit by drain hackers.

You are indeed a legend, I respect you because 2017 is a long time for me and you have been in a position where you have passed the phase of getting a random token sent to the wallet. Have you ever sold the token once or twice or sent the token to another wallet or to exchange?

there were some few legits airdrops in the past, where they just send a few tokens to addresses which hold Eth. Transfering eth was basically free in 2017-2019... I sold a few of them, but never made some decent money . Bitcoin airdrops/forks were better.

Nowadays this doesnt happen anymore, and you should just ignore those tokens.

It is very scary if what you said could happen to us, because every coin/token that goes into our wallet, we will definitely see it and if it is valuable, of course we will sell it or at least swap it, but why can what we do make our wallet get spammed, of course it is very scary that it can happen because the actions we take are normal things that anyone usually does when they get coins/tokens.

there's nothing we can do to stop it, just ignore it.

Since the BSC network was mass adopted by many developers a few years ago, many scam tokens have emerged that try to catch victims, I was also fooled by the scam coin in my metamask wallet, there was still no news about it so I felt it was a real token until finally I unknowingly spent a lot of fees, it turned out that the token was deliberately created or programmed to suck up fees.

Bitcoin Airdrop? Does it exist and has it ever happened? I think I just heard about Bitcoin airdrop.

Okay. According to your direction, who has been experienced in crypto for a long time and you are also a Dev on the forum, I will reject all tokens that enter my wallet, it is better for myself to stay away from things that are not appropriate for me to have.

My friend also said that sometimes there are tokens that can take our native coin assets, is that true? If true, can you give an example of why it can be like that, this is beyond my own reasoning.

  Yes, learn from it. How the sending happens to the wallet at any time to see, no steps can be taken to stop it, simply the person behind the computer did it with the intention of either sending any subsequent transaction to be forwarded to the given wallet other where you don't have access. If there are additional protections, I would like to know.

Bitcoin Airdrop? Does it exist and has it ever happened? I think I just heard about Bitcoin airdrop.

In 2017,2018 there were a few projects which would give you coins if you signed a message with your bitcoin address with some balance before some date.

Forks were very similar to airdrops as well. They were  just free coins  for whoever hold bitcoin. There were dozens of them

That means that 2018 and back was the time when Bitcoin was sent for free to those who were lucky enough to have been present and known about Bitcoin before 2018. They (including you) must have been very experienced and had a lot of Bitcoin in their wallets, this made me feel like I had nothing in crypto because I had just known about Bitcoin when it was already expensive and fought over by many people.
For now (probably none), have you heard or is there any other information about Bitcoin airdrop?

Now there are none..

I remember a very old project, semux, which I got something like 100 usd on an airdrop. I just signed a message with a bitcoin address with funds.

https://forkdrop.io/semux

There were many forks and airdrops like that few years ago. Good times

from the research i made, airdrop was first made in 2014 with a project called auroracoin so if the first airdrop was made during the time where bitcoin was almost 1k by the start of the year then there was literally no point in giving airdrops of bitcoin since it does not need the hype accumulation and i am pretty sure no one would be giving away that big of their money just for the sake of giving it for free with nothing in exchange so i have not heard of bitcoin airdrops but if someone has it would be pretty interesting to see

The Bitcoin network is significantly larger than the BSC network, the transactions are more comprehensive, so I assume that a hacker attack on each targeted wallet is more feasible in the Bitcoin network, less possible, what do you know about that, because I don't use Bitcoin, I plan to. Is it safer, are there any spam coins that appear?
