Phishing emails can link to a replica website designed to steal login credentials or prompt one to install malware. It’s a good idea to be super-cautious about what programs you allow to have administrator access on your devices. These fake exchanges may trick users by offering extremely competitive market prices that lull them into thinking they’re getting a steal, with quick and easy access to some cheap bitcoin. Beware of emails purported to be from services you use soliciting you for action, such as resetting your password, or clicking through to provide some sort of interaction with regard to your account. Be wary of blackmail attempts in which strangers threaten you in exchange for bitcoin as a means of extortion.
