DefiTuna โ a relatively new leveraged AMM on Solana โ has already weathered two major black swan events since launch.
No bad debt.
No hacks.
No exploits.
Just a protocol that kept running โ efficiently and transparently.
Imagine waking up and your phone has no signal
Then you realize your number, your accountsโฆ are no longer yours
That almost happened to me last week:
It started with random calls from the same number.
At first, I ignored them but it was a Swiss number, so I assumed it was something harmless. Maybe my rental agency, maybe someone from work.
After a few missed calls, I finally picked up.
The man on the other end said he was calling from the Federal Statistical Office to do a mandatory survey.
That actually made sense โ those surveys are real and quite normal in Switzerland.
But something felt off. His German was broken, and he sounded unusually tense for someone doing official work.
Then he started asking for my data: name, date of birth, address.
I hesitated. The real government would call from a landline, not a random phone number. I should also have gotten an official letter before?
When I refused, he got annoyed and said:
โCan you at least give me your ID number so the verification process is quicker?โ
Thatโs when it definitely clicked.
FYI hereโs how this scam works:
If you hand over your personal details, they can contact your mobile carrier pretending to be you.
โHi, I lost my phone. Can you transfer my number to a new SIM?โ
Thatโs called a SIM swap. Once they take over your number, they can access every account tied to SMS two-factor authentication โ your email, your bank, even your social media.
If I had shared my ID number, I couldโve lost everything.
Never give out personal data over the phone.
And never rely on SMS for 2FA โ use an authenticator app or passkeys instead.
I got lucky this time. But scams like this are getting smarter every time
