Mark Cuban, who is also closely involved with cryptocurrency markets, announced months ago that his crypto wallet was hacked. Every day, crypto wallets are hacked, but Mark should be much more aware of these matters. The incidents involving him and other well-known figures make crypto <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">investors</a> think, “If they can do this to them, what won’t they do to us?” 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="cuban-hacked-again">Cuban Hacked Again</h2> 
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban announced a few months ago that his crypto wallet was hacked and he lost $800,000. Shortly after, he was hacked again in a different way. In his post a few hours ago, he stated that his Gmail account was compromised and emails sent from his account should be ignored; 
<blockquote> 
 “My mcuban@gmail address was hacked because someone named Noah called from 650-203-0000 and said my account was compromised. Then, pretending to be <a href="https://newslinker.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">Google</a>, they mimicked Google’s recovery methods. If anyone received something from the mcuban address after 3:30 PM, it wasn’t me.” 
</blockquote>

Scammers who took over the email account by calling and pretending to be official Google employees have done this before, but Cuban was an easy target. Kraken’s chief security officer Nick Percoco and other social media users mocked Cuban. Nick wrote; 
<blockquote> 
 “When you regain access, please post a screenshot of the number of unread emails. I bet it has reached five digits by now.” 
</blockquote> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="scammed-over-a-phone-call">Scammed Over a Phone Call</h2> 
In recent weeks, we also mentioned scammers calling on behalf of <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/binance-assures-user-security-after-github-hack-incident/" data-wpel-link="internal">Binance</a> or other exchanges. They call you and say they will help secure your account, just like they did with Cuban. Then, by obtaining verification codes and more information from you, they easily empty your account. 
Therefore, you should always approach incoming calls and messages with suspicion, especially those claiming to be from crypto exchanges. No bank employee, exchange worker, police officer, or intelligence agency will call you to ask for your credit card information or exchange password. 
Cryptocurrency investors are increasing every day, and unfortunately, so are the traps in this field. You must be aware of scammers trying to catch you before you become a victim.
