When we look back at the pivotal moments that have defined #Floki's journey, the @gate_io listing emerges as an important milestone.
It played a significant role in shaping Floki's future, as it was the first T1 exchange listing that would introduce Floki to a massive #crypto audience!
The Gate listing also added a layer of credibility to the Floki ecosystem and set the stage for other major exchange listings such as @OKX , @KuCoin , @Binance , ... and many more.
This is a reminder that such events are important building blocks that contribute to Floki's ambitious mission to become the most known and used cryptocurrency in the world!
#WaybackWednesday
Disclaimer: While the listing on Gate is considered a major milestone, Floki does not endorse any exchange in particular.
We stand by the principle of "Not your keys, not your tokens," encouraging everyone to exercise caution and take full control of their digital assets.

In the recent light of @VitalikButerin 's SIM swapping hack, here's a reminder to be mindful about online security.
The principle of 'Not your keys, not your crypto' is crucial, but it may not be sufficient on its own. Because, even if you own your keys, and they're written down on paper, stored in a steel box that is buried deep underground, you should still be careful.
Malware, spyware, viruses, keyloggers, identity theft, ransomware, ... can all pose significant treats to your data and your crypto.
Let's take a look at these threats and learn how to prevent them.
#TeachMeTuesday
Why you should be a little paranoid online
We're in the midst of the information revolution and online security becomes evermore important. ALL of our electronics will soon be connected to the Web, which gives cyber-attackers a ton of opportunity.
Getting hacked in this day and age is a real threat and should not be taken lightly. You could lose all your money, crypto, or even have your identity stolen.
We need to protect our devices, and in order to do so, we need to understand the different types of threats that are out there!
So put on a tiny tin foil hat and be a little paranoid!
Phishing
Phishing can take on many forms. In most cases, a phishing attacker pretends to be someone that you trust; Like a company, boss/co-worker (spear phishing), family member, or friend.
They will send an e-mail, phone call, SMS, (vishing, smishing), DM on social media, ... and will try to extract sensitive information from you. This too can happen in many ways; Some scammers try to have a friendly chat with you. As soon as you start to trust them, they will start 'phishing' for information (like bank details, seed phrases, credit card numbers, ...).
Another trick they use is sending malicious links or attachments that lead you to a fake website that looks legit (usually a clone of a bank website, for example). Once you put in your details on the fake website, the scammer has succeeded in acquiring your data.
They may also send an attachment that contains a script to alter your DNS data. When this happens, even if you go to the legitimate website of your bank (Same URL, same website, same green lock), you're actually on the scammer's website and they will log your details.
Another form of phishing you should be wary about is password re-use. If you share an account with someone, and you give that person your password for that account, they may use this to try and login to other accounts of yours. So it's important to have a different password for all platforms that you use. How are you supposed to remember all those passwords? Password managers, of course!
Ransomware
Ransomware is scary! It usually comes in the form of an e-mail attachment or a malicious download from a website (such as a book, or an invoice). When you run this file, it can potentially encrypt your entire hard drive (or parts of it), and you will only regain access if you pay the scammer.
Even if you pay, there's no guarantee that you will be given access again. This is why it's important that you keep your wallet keys somewhere secure OFFLINE. If you can't access your computer, and you don't know your private keys, you lose access to your crypto.
Another form of ransomware is extortion after you've paid the initial sum. The attacker has sensitive information about you or your company and threatens to leak it if you don't pay.
Security software can detect ransomware in advance. But, even when using those, you should be wary. There's also the so-called 'scareware', a piece of software that LOOKS like a virus scanner, but is actually a virus itself and will be used to steal data or let you pay for a fake membership.
Malware and viruses
Viruses and malware can end up on your computer through fishing or malicious downloads. The terms are often used interchangeably, but they do differ. Malware is a more general term for everything that is 'malicious'. A 'virus' is just a type of malware.
Viruses and malware have existed long before the web existed. They are used for malicious activities such as data mining, crypto mining, system overloads, infesting your system with advertisements, install ransomware, ...
In the case of data mining or crypto mining, you often don't even know they're running on your computer.
Identity theft
Identity theft can result from any of the above-mentioned cyberattacks, and from 3rd-party data leaks.
It's when someone uses your information to impersonate you and perform malicious activities. This is not limited to passwords for your online accounts, they can also use your:
✓ Bank details or credit card information to make purchases under your name.
✓ Social security number (US) to utilize your employment history and get social security benefits.
✓ ID to give out a false identity when getting arrested.
✓ Driver's license to fake their driving record and avoid fines
Any document or piece of information that can be used for financial gain should be protected by you at all costs.
Security in Web 3
Web 3.0 is the third installment of the web. It permanently changed the way we use the Internet by shifting power to individual users. This does come with its own security risks and challenges. A proactive approach to security is vital to keep your data, and especially your WEB3 wallet, safe.
You may have seen our educational post on "Not your keys, not your crypto". If you haven't yet, definitely give it a read: /FlokiFi/status/1696555686694441328
In that post, you will learn more about how important it is to use a decentralized wallet.
Regardless of keys, though, if you simply forget to turn off your computer and leave your wallet open, co-worker Bob can just send your funds to his wallet!
So what can you do against all these shenanigans?! Here are some tips:
Prevention
✓ Most importantly, always upgrade your operating system and all your software to the latest version, as soon as possible! Scammers or hackers often abuse security leaks in faulty software to perform an attack.
✓ Never use the same password twice. Look into legitimate password managers such as @1Password , @LastPass , @Bitwarden ,... One password to rule them all.
✓ Use strong passwords. Floki123! is NOT a strong password. This password can literally be hacked in 2 minutes. Those annoying warnings (use at least 1 capital letter, use at least 1 special symbol, etc...) are actually right. You should make your password as long as possible, with a great variety of numbers, letters, and symbols. With a password manager, you don't need to remember them anyway.
✓ Use 2FA (2-factor authentication). After you log in to a website, or your wallet, with a username and password, you will be asked for a 2FA code, which adds an extra layer of security. These are sent by SMS or generated in a mobile app such as Google Authenticator. Do consider using 2FA in a mobile app instead of SMS though. The case with Vitalik Buterin was caused by a SIM swap, which allowed an attacker to gain access to his phone number. On X, it's possible to reset your password with just an SMS code, and that's what happened to Vitalik recently.
✓ Use a virus scanner and firewall. Most operating systems have a built-in scanner and firewall that offer some basic protection. However, a more advanced solution could be necessary if you're dealing with sensitive data.
✓ Never leave your computer unattended. No, locking your Windows is not secure. If a hacker were to gain access, he could simply reboot to a live CD and has instant access to all your data.
✓ Which is why you should encrypt your computer. How to do this depends on your operating system (most have this option built-in when you install the OS).
✓ Do not open any files that come from an unknown source. Whether it be from an e-mail, a website, a USB stick, ... trash it.
✓ Always check the sender of an e-mail. Phishing mails often seem to look legit, because they are designed to look like the original. The sender (and headers) can reveal a different story.
✓ And last but not least, educate yourself! The more you know, the better you can protect your data AND your funds.
