These kinds of scams usually give you airdrops of worthless tokens. Once you interact with the smart contract to swap the tokens for something useful, you give the attacker access to your wallet. Or so I heard, haven't looked deep into this. I certainly don't touch any suspect tokens I receive in my EVM wallets.

That happens on hive too?
Not possible on Hive. For once, we don't have smart contracts. And when we do, they will be on a second layer, not the base layer, so they can't affect HIVE, HBD, or HP. Another probably unique feature of Hive and other chains with the same origin is the account recovery system. Even if a hacker breaks into your account and changes the private keys (most occurrences I know of were due to negligence of disclosing private keys publicly, or using them in the wrong places), you can still recover it using this system.
that's cool, at least don't have to worry about those kind of scams
