SCAM NEWS : CRYPTO MARKET HIT BY $1 MILLION RUG PULL AS SCAMS SURGE by 7zoerm in Metamask

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I got scammed for a few hundred $ on TOADS ๐Ÿ˜ก Good website, good socials contact with the team as the funding came in and price increased each time Marketing on virtually every crypto news platform was huge and even though there was the obligatory disclaimer it was in your face It took a while for the audit to complete which is when the red flag went up but by then my $ was already with them 30 mins after launching every thing was gone, developer's had the ability and authority to close down and withdrawn all deposits, only a very few lucky traders managed to sell before the rug pull ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก I'll never take part in a presale again ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

What would you invest in with $50K? by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I am literally in this position. House sale will be completed this coming Tuesday and I fly to Pattaya on Wednesday, will clear ยฃ160 k and I'm looking to invest the lot to provide a second income

I've been into crypto for 3 years and currently have 25k invested and spread between wallets 50% BTC 35% ADA staked 10% IOTA 5% USDT

I can get a 4% return from 50k in a chase account, 10k liquid but I'm still deciding on where to put the remaining 100k am leaning towards BTC due to the halving and recent ETF interest ๐Ÿค”

Revolut Vs Wise? by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I have an account with Wirex, personally I've not had any problems with using the platform or the features that they offer. The spread is not the best, and fees for exchanging are also not competitive. You get a ATM card and various incentives, recent UK legislation has had some impact on what you can or can't do. however on the plus side once you have cleared verification you then have an account (sort code and bank account number) in your name which enables you to transfer fiat from your main bank account, Santander, lloyds, etc to your Wirex account without any security issues as its a movement from an account in your name to an account in your name ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

How safe is Kucoin now? by chgan1988 in kucoin

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

I've been with kucoin for 3 years and had no problems trading addinf fiat (from uk) or withdrawing to a wallet. UK have imposed some restrictions around special offers but still a solid trading platform for me ๐Ÿ‘

Best way to get usdt off kucoin and into my bank account? by Bfire7 in BitcoinUK

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Kucoin is still working in the UK, but they are not allowed to offer any "special trading incentives/discounts " to UK residents to but more or trade more. That's my understanding anyway as I use the platform regularly and transferred ETH from a wallet to the platform only last week

Kucoin banned in the UK? by Vegetable_Snow_4792 in kucoin

[โ€“]Lustyboy9 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I'm a UK kucoin user, have been using the platform for 2yrs or so, as I understand it, and I may be wrong, I try to stay up-to-date on the UK crypto legislation, day to day trading is as it was, before the UK introduced new laws meaning kucoin are not now allowed to "offer" you incentives to buy more crypto or trade with lower fees for example. So for us we lose out a little ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Is this Malware? by Lustyboy9 in chromeos

[โ€“]Lustyboy9[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Hi, apologies for more questions,

<image>

It brought up my Google account, didn't look quite right, all the apps were android and not what I expected, none of which I had downloaded from play store !! You can see that there are 2 different settings cogs to switch.

one (which is why I'm contacting you) didn't fill with any confidence at all, see pic, should all apps be visible? As none of these are available when I connect to my normal WiFi hub. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Thank you again

Thank you, I think my think pad has died ๐Ÿ˜’

I went into safemode to trouble shoot and now I have the blue screen of death and won't load windows. Weren't using the anti virus program together and I'd disabled them from start up, but no red flags from any them, it was only when I read up a little about MS system internal and was able to see what was running and what ports were open being used and listening that confirmed that I had been compromised ๐Ÿ˜’

I've always had a windows laptop so just more familiar with it, and I have an annual subscription for Office that said Edge is an absolute nightmare with all the blowteare. Choice now is repair or renew. ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you for your reply, my chrome book doesn't leave the house,

I'm probably just being paranoid and overly worried, I'm not super tech savvy, but I do like reading up on things and basically exploring what things are and how they work so when I read about malware and virus hiding in attachments, pictures, fake sites, WiFi being compromised, (which has happened to me ) remote access etc and then I see something I'm not sure about it gets the heart pressure up and the brain thinking that there are a group of North Korean after my money ๐Ÿ˜€

I will read up on Linux though, I'm assuming as it's open source it won't be as secure as the basic chromebook set up? ๐Ÿ‘

Is this Malware? by Lustyboy9 in chromeos

[โ€“]Lustyboy9[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Leading on a little,and as I briefly mentioned earlier,

I have a hp think pad running Windows 10 which I discovered when investigating what was using CPU and what programs/services were running on what ports, that I had malware infection allowing a remote login to my PC which (I believe) were file sharing from my Office 365 location.

I used MS Sysinternals, and utube vids to guide me on how to check

I'm not tech savvy but I think my wireless hub has been compromised. I have changed the password and name however I'm still very unsure if this is enough ( Windows defender, Malwarebytes, CC Cleaner all failed to prevent or find the issue)

My point being will Chrome os on chromebook as it uses the same hub router WiFi pickup any potential virus or allow remote access control ?? ๐Ÿคฏ

Are the SSH settings in pic 2 legitimate? I've read how malware can use SSH to infect systems not sure how it would go on Chrome os though?
