Shytoshi Kusama Issues Major Warning to SHIB Army

The head of the Shiba Inu developer team, known in the crypto community as Shytoshi Kusama, has tweeted an important warning to the SHIB army, urging it not to fall for scammers who may pretend to be producers of cryptocurrency wallets.

Shytoshi Kusama's warning to SHIB holders

The pseudonymous SHIB lead published a "security sidenote." He tweeted that crypto users must always buy cold wallets only directly from certified manufacturers and from nobody else. This way, they will be able to better protect their crypto bags.

Kusama finished the tweet with the #staysafe hashtag.

Security Sidenote: IMHO, Don't ever buy a cold wallet from anyone except the certified manufacturer directly. #STAYSAFE

As covered by U.Today, next week, the Swiss-based producer of cold crypto wallets that recently partnered with Shiba Inu, Tangem, announced the imminent launch of SHIB wallets to the market.

The wallet is the size of a bank card, and it is to be used with a smartphone. It will allow its owners to hold and spend not only SHIB but more than 6,000 other cryptos.

The preordered 5,000 SHIB wallets will start to be delivered on July 24 from the warehouse in Hong Kong, according to an earlier U.Today report.
