🚨 Security Reminder: Deepfakes & AI Awareness As AI technology advances, scammers are increasingly using Deepfakes to replicate voices and faces with startling accuracy to manipulate your trust. Please remember these safety rules: 1. Question & Verify: Always remain critical of information, even if it appears to come from a familiar face or voice. Always cross-check via multiple official channels. 2. No System Commands: Never execute scripts, terminal commands, or software on your system provided by third parties or unverified sources. This is a common tactic to compromise your security. 3. No "Free" ADA: There are no legitimate events that require you to send funds in order to receive funds back. 4. Stay Vigilant: Scammers often use artificial urgency to cloud your judgment. If an offer seems too good to be true, it is a scam.
