Attention: KYC system with passport scan and selfie

In the course of the most recent few months I've seen numerous posts of individuals that got their assets stolen from exchanges. Now and again 2FA was reset without the client's assent.

What I have likewise seen amid that period is ICO's springing up all over the place, requesting KYC before getting "free" tokens airdropped.
The KYC strategy regularly requires sending a passport scan and additionally selfie.
Presently realize this...The normal cost of a computerized passport scan on the dim web is $14.71. On the off chance that verification of location or evidence of recognizable proof (a selfie, service bill as well as driver's permit) is added to a passport scan, the normal value bounces to $61.27.

That is one route for individuals to make cash utilizing your data. The following stage anyway could have far greater results when they utilize the data to take your assets from exchanges.


Eg.
  • The objective has a record with a cryptocurrency trade. They've set up two-factor validation for them, so a code is sent to an application on their telephone to confirm logins.
  • Through some different means, the con artist takes the client's secret word (maybe through phishing or an information rupture or by essentially utilizing a similar secret key the client used to make a record on an ICO site). But since 2FA is empowered on the record, they can't get in.
  • Rather, the con artist acts like the person in question and methodologies the cryptocurrency trade, saying they've lost access to their telephone and can't get the validation PIN, and along these lines can't sign in.
  • The cryptocurrency trade asks for the record holder send a scan of their ID to demonstrate their character before resetting the 2FA on the record. Much of the time, organizations will require the individual take a selfie while holding the ID, subsequently the higher cost for passport scans with selfies.
  • The con artist changes the scans from the dull web as important to coordinate the interest of the trade (Eg. name of trade with date), at that point sends it to the trade, as yet acting like the person in question.
  • Endless supply of evidence of personality, the cryptocurrency trade resets or expels the 2FA on the record, enabling the programmer to access and deplete the injured individual's crypto resources. Programmers routinely change the passwords and email delivers related with records to make it harder for the record proprietor to recover control. 
So be cautious who you send your passport scans and selfies to, utilize an alternate secret key for any site/account that is connected to crypto and utilize chilly wallets however much as could reasonably be expected.

Obviously that individuals that agree to accept an ICO will in all probability have one (or different) trade account(s) aswell...

The fake extensions are basic phishing plays. Posing as legitimate wallets, they leak personal information inputted by users, such as private keys and passwords, to the hacker, who can then drain balances in a matter of seconds. The fakes detected have so far claimed to be wallets such as Ledger, Trezor, Jaxx, Electrum, MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Exodus, and KeepKey.
