      <title>Why "the exchange is giving you X% back" is itself a warning sign</title>

      <description>Referral money comes out of a promoter's share of the fees you already paid, not from a platform handing anything out. Understand those three steps and one sentence tells you who is being straight with you. This piece lays out our own arrangement in the same breath.</description>

      <title>Signal groups: why the "analyst" looks so accurate</title>

      <description>The analyst, the assistant and the members posting profits usually come from one operation. The mechanism worth understanding is split calling: opposite directions to different groups at the same moment, so one group always watches a call come true. Which is why witnessing it proves nothing.</description>

      <title>A friend's account got taken over and is asking you for money</title>

      <description>A compromised account and a lookalike need different checks. Only one verification actually works: open a separate channel and reach the person yourself. Includes a line you can copy to move the decision back to your own timing.</description>

      <title>Six things a legitimate platform never does</title>

      <description>Scripts get rewritten every year; platform behaviour barely moves. No unsolicited contact, no credential requests, no safe account, no remote access, no guaranteed returns, no private billing. Each with what to do when it is crossed.</description>

      <title>The phishing pattern behind airdrop claim pages</title>
      <link>https://baitpath.com/en/articles/airdrop-claim-phishing/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://baitpath.com/en/articles/airdrop-claim-phishing/</guid>
      <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 07:40:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The chain is consistent: social contact or a private message, an imitation claim page, a wallet connection, then a signature request. Gives a concrete reverse-verification procedure you can follow exactly, rather than telling you to be careful.</description>

      <title>Exchanges that failed, and what an ordinary user should take from it</title>

      <description>Only publicly settled cases, sorted by failure type rather than gossip, narrowing to three things you can actually act on. Includes the limits of proof of reserves: it shows assets exist, not that there are no matching liabilities.</description>

      <title>Three tells shared by every high-yield platform</title>

      <description>Do not judge these by comparing rates. What matters is whether the return is described as certain, whether anyone can say where it comes from, and whether getting out costs extra. Ends with nine questions you can put to them directly.</description>

      <title>Is a withdrawal whitelist worth turning on</title>
      <link>https://baitpath.com/en/articles/withdrawal-whitelist/</link>

      <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 06:40:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Yes, but not for the reason usually given. The protection is the cooling period on a newly added address, not the list — it buys you time to notice. Also honest about the attacks it does not stop, and the API key route it misses entirely.</description>

      <title>Two-factor: SMS, authenticator app, hardware key — what actually differs</title>
      <link>https://baitpath.com/en/articles/2fa-sms-app-key/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://baitpath.com/en/articles/2fa-sms-app-key/</guid>
      <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 06:20:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Three methods with three different attack surfaces. The correction most people need: an authenticator app does not stop a real-time phishing relay, because the code you type into an impostor page is forwarded within seconds. Only a domain-bound key does.</description>

      <title>Why a seed phrase must never be photographed or put in cloud storage</title>
      <link>https://baitpath.com/en/articles/seed-phrase-storage-risks/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://baitpath.com/en/articles/seed-phrase-storage-risks/</guid>
      <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>A seed phrase is the asset itself, not a password, and there is no recovery. Leak paths are listed as the ordinary actions that cause them — photographing, screenshotting, syncing keyboards, messaging yourself — rather than as an instruction to keep it safe.</description>

      <title>Wallet signatures: what that button actually signed</title>

      <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 05:40:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>A transfer and an approval are different things. The expensive misunderstanding is that signing costs no gas so it carries no risk — an off-chain signature can be a valid authorisation the other side submits later. Covers how to review and revoke.</description>

      <title>How fake support finds you</title>

      <description>Four routes it arrives by, including the one almost nobody notices: you asked for help publicly and the answer came privately. Real support has hard limits — it never messages you first, never wants a code, never asks you to move funds to a safe account.</description>

      <description>The full stage structure with a recognisable signal at each point. The part worth carrying away is the small withdrawal that completes without trouble: not evidence of safety, but the pivotal mechanism, and the moment most people decide to commit.</description>
