If the scam wasn’t totally stupid and wasn’t the obvious “send me 1 BTC and I’ll send you 2” nonsense, this would be really hard to spot.
Imagine this was subtle and well thought out. Imagine it was just a recommendation for a wallet and it was backed up by some bot armies that looked semi legit on social? What if it had a really solid website and a bunch of “endorsements” from trusted faces in #Bitcoin?
How many would casually check it out? I mean I’ve randomly installed plenty of tools off a couple of recommendations. What happens if that app is very serious malware? What if it’s *quiet* malware that plants itself and takes its time before launching an attack?
This is becoming more and more real by the day. This is going to upgrade from stupid cheap scams, to sophisticated attacks. The best thing you can do is show this to people so they know it’s out there.
