🚨🚨SCAM ALERT🚨🚨: I was very very close to being the victim of a sophisticated scam attempt yesterday afternoon
An account
@0xBillyBitcoins invited me to speak on a podcast to which I agreed
I was sent a spoofed Streamyard link and almost installed malicious software on my Mac because I was in a rush and not paying full attention to what was going on
It asked me for access to my Mac's "keychain" where passwords are stored, triggering a big enough red flag to get me to back the truck up
His account has 7.5K followers, active content, and is followed by the likes of
@JohnCena (bro, follow me and not this scammer - another MA guy here)
This was a tough one to spot and I was able to come out unscathed, but this ain't cool
