Crazy how someone can just sell access to a BTC account like that. Makes you realize how important security is... If you’re not careful, you might end up losing everything.

For real, this is a wake-up call. If it’s legit, imagine checking your wallet one day and finding it empty. Better check your stuff now.

I mean, storing private keys in emails? That's just asking for trouble. A lot of folks still don’t get that it’s a huge no-no.

Exactly! If this hacker is selling instead of taking the funds, it’s probably because they know it’s risky to move that much BTC. Too many eyes on it.

Right? It’s like a double-edged sword. Who’s gonna buy that? Anyone who does is just asking to be rekt unless they’re super careful.

Been there, done that when I was new. This stuff is dangerous. It’s wild how people still keep seeds in emails or cloud storage.

Haha, I get that. But I also tried to be smart about it. I used hints for my seeds like code words. It’s not foolproof, but better than plain text.

I doubt anyone sends sensitive info in plain text. If you’re hacking, why not just take the coins instead of selling the access?

This whole thing seems sketchy. The dark web is full of scams. Who would believe someone selling an account with 9 BTC?

#10 Nov 23, 2023, 05:34 PM Red flags everywhere. I wouldn't trust it. Even if it’s true, you gotta be super cautious with your own accounts.

#11 Nov 23, 2023, 06:21 PM Totally agree. People need to wake up about their security. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you know everything about safety online.

#12 Nov 26, 2023, 02:43 AM Yeah, it’s kind of sad to think people might fall for it. Losing that much to carelessness? Ouch.

#13 Nov 26, 2023, 06:41 AM Anyone buying this is probably asking for trouble. Why not just take the BTC and disappear?

#14 Nov 27, 2023, 07:54 AM True, it feels like a scam. If they really got in there, they’d be better off just stealing instead of selling access.

#15 Nov 27, 2023, 10:00 AM Exactly! It’s hard to believe that a hacker would be hesitant about moving funds. They usually don’t think twice.

#16 Nov 28, 2023, 10:48 AM So true. It’s all about being smart with your assets. You can’t trust anyone with your keys, not even a cloud service.

#17 Nov 28, 2023, 01:27 PM I feel like this guy is just trying to fish for suckers. If you buy it, you better know what you’re doing.

#18 Nov 28, 2023, 05:53 PM You’d think more people would know better by now, but nope. There are still so many new folks making rookie mistakes.

#19 Nov 28, 2023, 11:49 PM Yeah, I get why newbies do dumb stuff. I stored my seed in Gmail once, and thankfully nothing happened.
