SHIB-affiliated account @susbarium X has published an important warning to the whole SHIB community. This time, the warning concerns “unofficial tokens and misleading claims.”
Shiba Inu team gives warning to SHIB army
@susbarium’s tweet drew the community’s attention to multiple attempts by scammers to capitalize on the Shiba Inu ecosystem. For this purpose, they keep launching unofficial tokens named like official tokens linked to Shiba Inu. These groups claim that these tokens are part of the SHIB ecosystem, offering users to buy them.
The tweet offers several official online resources that can help users to check whether a token is real or fake. @susbarium reminds the community that all the tokens listed at the SHIB website (see the tweet) are certainly official. “Always verify before engaging,” the message warns.
The second malicious element mentioned in the tweet is misleading associations. This means that certain scam individuals or projects may promote themselves as being affiliated with SHIB, but they are not authorized properly, @susbarium stated, also providing a link to the full list of verified “PartnerShibs.”
The important message delivered by the tweet is that valid information about Shiba Inu tokens, giveaways, partnerships, etc., “comes only from SHIB developers or the SHIB core team.” Information that originates not from these sources “is not an official note and should be treated with skepticism.” Other important information sources to double-check are official SHIB channels on social media. They should be kept in mind by investors too. The same goes for any “community alerts.” “Be cautious when encountering new projects that claim SHIB connections without official verification,” the tweet warns users.
Finally, the tweet urges the SHIB army never to share sensitive personal information with unknown entities. In case of doubt, it is worth consulting official SHIB channels.
Binance's CZ issues wallet security warning
Notably, a similar security warning was published by the former CEO of the Binance exchange, Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ. The influencer reacted to a tweet by a user who had his wallet details neatly stolen during a fake video job interview.
CZ shared a lesson to be learned here, saying that a separate computer is always better for keeping a crypto wallet, and it is absolutely necessary to reject installing any updates or granting access permissions.
