Given the popularity of some cryptocurrency projects, they tend to be targeted by bad actors trying to exploit either the network behind them or vulnerable and unsuspecting users for their coins.
A recent post on X outlined a potential threat for some Pi Network users (referred to as Pioneers) and urged immediate action from the Core Team.
In a post titled ‘strange scam activity reported involving a Pi Wallet,’ the user Rizo outlined someone else’s issues in which the third party’s three-year lockup period for Pi coins finally came to an end. When they went to migrate the 143 tokens, it displayed that the wallet balance remained at 0. Moreover, they found a large number of failed transactions.
Rizo was quick to flag the suspicious activity and believes the solution for this would be the implementation of 2FA or “another strong authentication method to become mandatory for Pi Wallets.” Moreover, they asked the Core Team behind the project to investigate the matter and strengthen the overall wallet security to protect users.
It’s worth noting that this is far from the first instance of suspicious activity not only in the Pi Network ecosystem but overall in crypto. As such, many teams, including Pi’s, have issued consistent warnings over the past few years. In one of the posts published by the Core Team, they outlined several steps users can undertake to ensure higher protection levels against potential scams or fraud.
In bear market times in which the project faces intense pressure online while the native token plunges to new depths, a large part of the community behind Pi Network has started to question the overall direction. To address this, Daniel Carter, an X user with over 20,000 followers, said he works as a Senior Technical Engineer at Pi and has stayed with the project for a decade.
After working on R&D at Pi, he is currently responsible for ecosystem review and compliance. He believes Pi Network is now at a “critical stage of its development, and maintaining close communication with the community is more important than ever.” This is something that has been missing lately, according to Pioneers.
Nevertheless, most of the comments below the post were skeptical, as some even questioned whether Carter indeed has a role at Pi Network.
