[PSA] WARNING TO EXISTING OR NEW MASTERNODE OPERATORS

in #masternodes7 years ago (edited)

Planning on operating your own Masternode? or currently running one?
(PS- I Paid to promote this for Safety of the Community - Here on Steemit. Please share!!!)

WARNING:
There is a rise in recent scam attacks - You should know about it!

You must understand one thing.... NEVER, share access to your Masternode Wallet that stores your coins. If people offer to help you with the setup of your masternode where they need access to your wallet or ask for logs of your wallet. It is best to fully Ignore the request.

What are the Common SCAM ATTACKS to be aware of?

  • Remote access to your local wallet
  • They ask for log files where private keys can be hidden
  • They act like developers / admins looking to help community
  • They act friendly and nice — until they gain your trust, then ask you for remote access or log files that put you at risk
  • When they remote access to your local PC, they might not steal right away. They might download a virus without you knowing

Choose Masternode Setup Services That Won't Need Access To Your Wallet:
You do not need to provide access to setup a wallet. We can speak for ourselves, that SetupMasternodes.com will never asks for local wallet access because this could be done without our help. You only need to do very minimal configuration on the local wallet part. Most of the Setup is done through LINUX VPS -- Where it does not store your Masternode coins
