Hello, it's 
In a Blockchain as Hive, there's always something at stake and this is why phishing will never stop. Some people are wired, with the right tech skills to steal the funds of others, the funds of people who are ignorant or greedy or both. We touched on the psychological aspect of phishing and why it tends to appeal to people.
We focus on the aspects of red alerts or the things that should raise alerts as a phishing attempts. This aspect we discussed emphasized being equipped to jump over phishing attempts even if the person in question is a newbie or ignorant of how the system works.
We talked about why phishing attempts may likely affect newbies and how the wrong mindset concerning Hive sells a misconception that leads them to fall for phishing attempts because of their previous belief or notion of "free money" before they join. We talked about phishing even outside the chain, and how it's a general thing that can happen anywhere there's money at stake. The closing part of the session leads us to talk about ways to spot or recognize phishing attempts irrespective of who's getting the link or whether they're old or new users.
This aspect deals with the practices of a phisher and how they spam the chain with their thousands of links in other to reach a bigger audience with the possibility of scamming them. This is to say phishers are mostly spammers and here's the best way to spot them out. We'd recommend you watch how to raise your alert levels concerning phishing.
If you suspect phishing on Hive, please tag keys-defender to raise alert.
Thanks for coming through, see you on the next one.
