BurgerCities, a self-proclaimed blockchain-based metaverse game, has recently faced heavy criticism, even curses and condemnations from users.
The reason is simple: despite being repeatedly targeted by phishing attacks, the project has continued to host reward events, enticing users to interact with its platform. Meanwhile, BurgerCities has shamelessly chosen to ignore both the rights of affected users and the doubts of regular users.
With hackers threatening asset security on one side and actively luring users to participate in platform activities on the other, while leaving affected longtime users in the lurch, BurgerCities has set a precedent for the entire Web3 industry.
In January of this year, BurgerCities' Discord link was compromised, prompting the official team to switch to a new link to mitigate costs
Some conscientious and responsible users have summarized three sins of BurgerCities: neglecting hacker attacks, disregarding user safety, and allegedly engaging in self-theft. A deeper examination of these three sins is truly chilling.
1.Neglecting hacker attacks:
For any project operating in the world of crypto assets, the security of users' assets is paramount. When faced with the threat of hacker attacks, the top priority for any platform should be security measures.
However, since last year, BurgerCities has been continuously targeted by hackers, with their Discord link even being directly replaced by hackers. It can be said that with a mere flick of their fingers, hackers can turn BurgerCities' network into a sieve.
In this situation, BurgerCities has not introduced any practical response plans. This attitude is clear: since the assets stolen by hackers belong to users, and the project team has already profited immensely, there is no need for them to invest in protecting user assets.
2.Disregarding user safety:
Given BurgerCities' repeated attacks, it is clear that the project has become a target for hackers due to significant security vulnerabilities, reflecting a lack of technical investment. What's even more alarming is that since 2024, BurgerCities has continued to roll out reward activities, which is highly irresponsible behavior towards users.
Because with technical vulnerabilities already exposed to hackers, the first thing BurgerCities should do is to investigate underlying technical security and prevent hacker attacks, rather than blindly focusing on traffic and activities. If hackers were to launch phishing attacks again while activities are in full swing, the extent of the losses would be unimaginable, and of course, it would be users who ultimately foot the bill.
The activities hyped on BurgerCities' official Twitter account, the more users participate, the greater the losses
Normally, any project with a shred of conscience and integrity wouldn't treat its platform users as mere tools to be trampled upon. However, BurgerCities seems to disregard this principle. In such circumstances, it's natural for users to suspect that the hacking attacks are actually orchestrated by BurgerCities itself.
3.Suspected Self-Sabotage:
Some users speculate why BurgerCities has not invited third-party security agencies to investigate the repeated hacking of Discord accounts. It's simple: once investigated, it might reveal that the project itself is engaged in self-sabotage, orchestrating phishing attacks.
In the world of blockchain, third-party security agencies can uncover many hidden truths through the traces of addresses, wallets, and fund interactions. Currently, this speculation has gained considerable recognition among users. BurgerCities' deceptive practices are bound to lead to its downfall.
What's even more alarming is that the ongoing activities promoted by BurgerCities still hold allure for new users entering the field. As more people interact with the website announced by BurgerCities, another round of hacking attacks may unexpectedly and opportunistically strike, resulting in significant losses for more users.
Seemingly normal interfaces may actually be traps designed by BurgerCities for users
Afterward, the instigators at BurgerCities either hypocritically warn users not to fall into the trap, continue promoting new activities to harvest new users, or simply announce that the project has run out of funds and then disappear with the website. Any of these three scenarios would be unbearable for users, yet they serve as lucrative schemes for BurgerCities.
Therefore, we advise all users to stay away from BurgerCities, which embodies the three deadly sins. In the world of cryptocurrency assets, security comes first, especially now with plenty of quality projects available during the bullish market. Don't be misled by its deceptive facade, lest you regret it for a lifetime.
