A crypto phishing scam is a fraudulent attempt to trick people into revealing their private keys or other sensitive information related to their cryptocurrency holdings, ultimately leading to the theft of their digital assets. Some common phishing scam techniques include pretending to be a legitimate company or platform, phishing links and malware, fake customer support, and social engineering. To stay protected, never share private keys, be cautious of unsolicited offers, verify platform legitimacy, use strong passwords and two-factor authentication, keep software updated with reputable antivirus, and report suspicious activity.
