Some Instagram story posts have exposed how social engineering tactics are being used to compromise accounts and steal assets. One leaked screenshot revealed device details like "From Harvi's MacBook Air," which hackers often exploit to gain deeper access. Interestingly, community members in related chats noticed the pattern and even warned against frequently showcasing personal devices and expensive acquisitions online. This serves as a critical reminder for crypto users: limiting what you share on social media isn't just about privacy—it's about protecting your wallets and digital assets from targeted attacks.

I just remembered, someone was scammed in the group before. The conclusion is, don't show off your MacBook on IG... Really stupid.

Another wave of social engineering phishing... Truly incredible. Relying on flaunting wealth and getting caught to teach people to think. These days, just posting a device model can become a vulnerability. Ridiculous.

Damn, it's the same social engineering trick again... I stopped posting device models a long time ago, yet some people still show off their MacBook on IG.

Really, I just want to say, a bunch of people are still showing off wealth and posting MacBooks on IG... Wake up everyone, this is basically sending hackers an invitation.

Damn, it's the same old trick again. Social engineers aren't afraid of anything, they're just afraid you'll expose your own bottom line.

Finally, someone has said it clearly. I was wondering why so many people fall for phishing... Showing off MacBook and bags really is giving hackers a roadmap.
