A dear friend of mine got drained today trying to mint a project. Someone in the chat shared a masked link that appeared to be legitimate. Upon clicking they were prompted to sign a transaction which drained them of their $APE.

A few things to note in this example:
 
1. If you have a Discord server, use an anti-link bot like @goodknightbot. It's, IMO, the best one that does this. And it'll certainly stop masked links.

Use an anti-impersonation bot like @HashbotOfficial or at the very least use Discord's built in auto-mod to filter out typical scammer names/staff names. Useto test out regex.

2. Always use the official links channels in Discord. Never trust links shared by users in chat.

3. Use a wallet extension (for PC). I'd personally recommend @Kerberus for this (it's the best one out there IMO). They have a free tier and premium (definitely recommend). Save 10% on premium using this referral link -If you're launching a project with a Discord, please consider hiring an experienced architect/auditor. There are many good ones out there like @Jon_HQ @Plumferno @pingToven @nft_dreww to name a few.
