Crypto villains aim at iPhone 13, launch ol’ Runescape money strategy and get $69,000
As before, The new iPhone to be released Some people are trying to control their desire for gadgets. Hype is always different from Apple products. Although I use several and like these things, there is a reason why the extreme situation of its fan base is easy to be satirized. Apple is omnipotent! Maybe: But one thing it will never do is double your Bitcoin.
A few years ago, a large number of scams based on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies appeared on YouTube, which basically tricked users into visiting websites that looked real through advertisements. This strategy seems to have been cancelled, but returned in a new form during the release of the Apple iPhone 13.According to reports Online security company ZScaler, A channel that looked like Apple’s official live broadcast took place at the same time as the actual release, attracting approximately 16,000 viewers. The channel was established in a reasonably complex manner, with appropriate logos and wording, and has 1.3 million subscribers.
The channel repeatedly linked to a website during the event, which was once again designed to look like Apple’s official website (including the “apple” in the URL), except-it’s surprising that people fell for it, didn’t they? ——This bizarre Apple apparently offered to give 1,000 Bitcoins (and an Ethereum option). This is approximately 42 million U.S. dollars or 31 million pounds worth of cryptocurrency.
Runescape and EVE players will enjoy the next part. The mechanism of the gift is that the user must send Bitcoin to the wallet address and promise to double and return it. “Double money” scam It has always existed in Runescape, and it sounds simple: You promise to double any money you give you, and then… replace it.
guess what? In fact, any cryptocurrency sent to the fake Apple wallet has not been returned. According to ZScaler, the account received 1.48299884 bitcoins, valued at approximately US$69,000. As the fraudster would undoubtedly say: Very good. Here are some live shots of it happening.
Seriously, this is just another reminder of the rules before the Internet. If something sounds too good to be true, it may be.
Although it is easy to sneer at the idea that people fall into these scams, we all do stupid things and are all potential victims.The whole reason this method works is that it takes advantage of Apple’s own advantages, the dazzling excitement surrounding new product launches, and the company’s ability to make announcements suddenly, and combine attacks with Live footage of Tim Cook talking with others. It may be scumbag, but it is certainly not stupid.
Now, I want to announce the launch of the new PC Gamer USD doubling service, managed by myself.
