RE: Bitcoin Theft Alert - Ukrainian Bitcoin Phishing Gang Made More Than $50 By Running Google Adwords Campaign.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Victims of any phishing are people who are new to internet or computer technology.. or are pure idiots who can't read their internet browser's address bar.. as far as I know operating Bitcoin or running a Bitcoin wallet needs a little bit experience with using Internet.. What I mean to say is that my Mother can easily use Instagram and can open an email account or do phone verification on her own.. but before she would face trouble turning on a PC properly... so it would be a bit difficult for her to download a Bitcoin wallet from app store or Google play and setup a BTC wallet or deal with storing her private keys etc. without any assistance.. She is smart but she is from a generation who wrote her Master's thesis with pen and paper.. So basically people who owns Bitcoin are people with a bit of experience with internet or how the internet economy or monetary system works.. and I don't think such people are inexperienced enough with computers or internet to fall for something like Phishing? Even my 11 year old cousin won't fall for something as silly as phishing..

Exactly, that is why they have been targeting to the people of the specific region like asia where people has less knowledge about bitcoin and the things. thanks for our dropping by here. :)
