Dogecoin Holders: Back Up Your Funds by December 31st
Developer Mishaboar urges Dogecoin holders to secure their funds by December 31, 2024, following the shutdown of Dogechain.info. Scammers are exploiting this closure with phishing attempts, including fraudulent domains like Dogechain.com.
Dogechain.info Shutdown and Backup Deadline
Dogechain.info, a popular Dogecoin wallet platform, closed its operations in July 2024. The last chance to download wallet backups is December 31, 2024. After this date, access to Dogecoin stored on Dogechain.info will be lost.
Users experiencing issues with 2FA codes can contact the Dogechain.info support team at their official email address.
Phishing Scams Targeting Dogecoin Holders
Cybercriminals have already started targeting Dogecoin users with phishing scams. One prominent example involves the domain Dogechain.com, which has been used to attempt to steal users' private keys.
Mishaboar advises users to "double-check the URL and avoid clicking on suspicious links" to protect themselves from these scams.
Cryptocurrency Investment Risks
Mishaboar also warns of the general risks associated with cryptocurrency investments, emphasizing their volatility and the importance of investing only what you can afford to lose. Excessive crypto investment can negatively impact your mental well-being.
Call for Wider Dissemination
Community members have stressed the need for widespread dissemination of the backup deadline and warning against phishing scams. Users are encouraged to share this message with the entire Dogecoin community.
