Kraken’s Chief Security Officer, Nick Percoco, warns that crypto conferences are prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to capitalize on large gatherings of tech enthusiasts and investors. He emphasizes the need for attendees to prioritize security during these events to protect themselves and their assets from potential theft or data compromise. 🔐 Percoco highlights several key safety measures: use a personal hotspot instead of public Wi-Fi, avoid using unknown USB chargers, and utilize temporary or limited-access wallets for transactions. The risks posed by hackers become even more apparent when attendees use public Wi-Fi or scan unverified QR codes, which can lead to phishing attacks and malware. Avoiding public discussions about sensitive financial matters like trades or passwords is crucial too.
