Cryptocurrency quickly rose to prominence and offers yet another attack vector for cybercriminals looking for quick, easy cash. Here are a few examples to watch out for:

Payment demands for recurring bills or fees saying you must now use crypto to settle debt of any type.
Employment schemes requiring a crypto payment before starting the role for any reason.
