In a blog article posted on October 8, and reposted by @PiNewsMedia, Pi Network users were warned against a rise in malicious actors. The post further included guidance on how best to protect themselves against such scams.
The Pi Network team warned the community to stay away from “fake websites” and to only enter their passwords into the official Pi URL. They also advised users to change their passwords at regular intervals, and ensure said passwords were strong, containing various elements such as “numbers and special characters”.
Finally, the article advocated for the community to assist in educating one another by spreading the word about the potential threats, as well as encouraging security-focused behavior such as password changes and exercising caution around unofficial websites.
Criticism Over Mainnet Delays Continues
Whilst much of the community appears to have responded positively to the warning, some commenters continue to voice their frustration over the seemingly never ending wait for a mainnet launch.
Pi Network has been in development for several years, and the team has repeatedly pushed back the launch date. This has led to some users questioning the legitimacy of the project, and whether or not the mainnet will ever launch.
The Pi Network team has stated that they are committed to launching the mainnet as soon as possible, but they have not provided a specific timeline. They have also said that they are working on developing the Pi ecosystem, which includes creating partnerships with other projects and businesses.
It is important to note that Pi Network is still in its early stages of development, and there is no guarantee that it will be successful. However, the team has been working hard to build a strong community and ecosystem, and they are committed to launching the mainnet as soon as possible.
