The irony of a tech worker storing crypto in a centralized exchange instead of an offline wallet.
Honestly, the email record eventually shared screams scam. It’s not quite fluent English, has urgency and requests the information not be shared with anyone else. That’s a pretty damning trifecta and should have been a red flag for someone who literally works in an authentication role.
I dislike Google as much as the next guy and I agree that you really shouldn’t use Google authenticator cloud sync, but the real problem here is the large amount of crypto. A scammer would have a much much harder time extracting it from a bank and even if they did it would likely still be reversible.
Rule 1 of crypto: “Not your keys, not your money”
There is a reason why cold wallets are a thing.
Man with $130,000 worth of crypto falls for a scam. Whodathunk 🤭
He didn’t even have that much. He was using the “value” at time of writing and not at time of loss. The writer would have likely held onto the crypto currency until after the next crash and would be just as screwed
