Scammers hacked the late actor Matthew Perry’s Twitter account and posted a fake plea for cryptocurrency donations in the name of his foundation. The foundation confirmed the post was a scam and urged people not to donate.
The article details several possibilities for how the account may have been compromised, highlighting the importance of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for securing social media accounts, especially for celebrities with large followings.
Weird that they wouldn’t either delete the account or memorialize it thereby removing the ability to log in or create posts.
But hey! It’s Twitter, the worst managed social media platform on the internet!
Crypto being used for scams? Say it ain’t so!
Biggest scams are done in USD. The big part of not falling for a scam is doing your due diligence and people are adults and should be treated as such.
Crypto IS the scam.
Nope, ~1% if crypto is illegal use. The other 99% is perfectly above board. Cryptocurrency IS currency and so will be used for illegal activity just like every other currency
Sure, not like 72 billion has been used in scams or anything.
“Overall, the share of all cryptocurrency activity associated with illicit activity has risen for the first time since 2019, from 0.12% in 2021 to 0.24% in 2022. [2]”

Could I be receiving anymore bitcoin??
Lol, isn’t “cryptocurrency scam” a little repetitive?
The fact that people are still saying things like this about crypto—even after ETF approval—is proof that it’s still early. By the time the average person realizes what’s been going on with Bitcoin, it’ll be too late for you.
I’ve already tripled my initial investment from a year ago, and we’re just only getting started.
I don’t care about the environment because line go up
FIFY
Then invest in ETH instead. It uses proof of stake instead of proof of work.
You are proof that the only people interested in crypto do it to try and become rich.
That user only represents some of crypto. There are others like myself who are not in it to get rich, but to maintain sovereignty in a surveillance state and dystopian world such as we are heading for.
Then you’re in trouble.
You can easily be watched by police when you’re using cryptocurrency, so an entire surveillance state should have no problem.
Not all blockchains are public.
You see no problem with a proof of stake ‘’‘currency’‘’?
None whatsoever. I’m staking ETH right now. It’s free money.
Lol ok.
So let’s create a shit ton of ewaste destroying SSD’s?
I can’t tell whether you’re a real crypto person or not. Real crypto people don’t believe in ETFs because you’re not holding your own keys. So it sounds like you are just in it to make more fiat, which is bullshit. But I could be wrong about you.
That’s why I don’t buy ETFs. Never said I did. Keep it all in a hardware wallet, only leaving enough on an exchange for day-to-day transactions.
You may need to hold any crypto at all on an exchange and not in a wallet that you control the keys to?
Nope, most crypto use is legit. ~1% is illegal and such. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
It’s a ponze scheme. It always was. It may have found a niche, unregulated market, but that doesn’t make it any less of a ponze scheme
It was specifically designed to be a currency and that’s what people are using it for. So I guess currencies can be Ponzi schemes. The dollar sure is one.
Why isn’t his account archive?
