Stop getting phished. Here’s how:

Phishing is happening every day. Don’t be the next victim.
Who’s getting targeted (spoiler: it’s everyone)
What we are experiencing in the cryptospace is not new. Apple / Google Docs / Skype / Facebook / Paypal have all been used as lures for phishing attacks. You may get a purported charge email from Paypal. You may get a “Your Mom sent you a Google Doc” email. You click, you aren’t logged in, you enter your information, and suddenly you are charged for something or spam your entire contact list.
Gmail has done a tremendous job of warning you, automatically sending things to spam, and removing links for “dangerous” emails. One day, perhaps Slack and Reddit will do this too. But for now, you are in crypto and you are responsible for your security.
