Reddit user PowerofTheGods, who lost $120,000 by clicking one bad link, shows the vulnerability of current investors.

He has been investing since 2016 and continues to invest in four Metamask digital hot wallets and a Ledger Nano S (cryptocurrency wallet).

He later realized that hackers had stolen his crypto after he clicked on a malicious link while surfing the web.

So the Trojan horse that hijacked his browser emptied his wallet in just a few minutes once the ledger was unlocked.

Beware of malicious links when surfing the web!!
