Let’s get one thing straight: If you’re heading to a crypto conference with your laptop wide open, phone unlocked, and chatting loudly about your $75k in DOGE…
Congratulations — you’re the dream target of every scammer in the building. 🎯😅
As the crypto world grows up and starts throwing bigger, fancier events (complete with neon lights, Lambos, and free tote bags), a not-so-fancy trend is sneaking in:
People forgetting they’re basically carrying a digital vault in their pocket.
And Kraken’s security team? Yeah, they’ve noticed — and they’re not impressed. 🕵️♂️⚠️
At recent major crypto events, Kraken’s security boss, Nick Percoco, spotted something that made his hacker senses tingle — in a bad way.
People were straight-up leaving their devices unlocked, unattended, and sometimes even dinging with wallet notifications. That’s like walking into a bank and shouting, “Hey everyone, my ATM pin is 6969!” 🤦♂️💸
Worse? The crowd isn’t just crypto bros and devs anymore — there are fake-name-carrying scammers walking around too, blending in, waiting for a moment of “oops.”
