Secure your cryptocurrency profits against hackers with our simple tips - verify sites, avoid online storage, use 2FA, cross-check Twitter info,
Imagine this scenario: you go to bed after making 100% profit, feeling happy about your day. However, the next morning, you find your wallet empty, all your profits gone. how are you feeling I can relate to that feeling because I once got hacked for $300. Since then, I have been taking all necessary precautions to protect myself from hackers. And now, I'll share with you how you can protect yourself:
- Fake Phishing Links
Whenever you open a website, it's important to check the domain and verify it to ensure you're on the correct website. Additionally, exercise caution when opening any links you come across on social media or elsewhere.
- Never Store anything Online
Do not store sensitive information online, such as passwords or wallet seed phrases. No matter how confident you are in the security measures, it is never truly safe from hacking. Instead, consider writing these details down on a offline physical document.
- Add Two Factor Authentication
Whenever possible, be sure to add two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security. This will help ensure your safety.
- Cross Verify Info
Twitter is filled with scams these days, particularly those claiming to offer airdrops. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these are fake. Furthermore, if a well known account urges you to claim an airdrop suddenly out of the blue, there's a strong likelihood that the account has been hacked. It's crucial to always cross-verify before engaging with such messages.
- Use Hardware Wallets
If you trade on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and plan to hold your cryptocurrency for the long term, it is highly recommended to use hardware wallets. They provide the highest level of security, although they are not completely foolproof. Nevertheless, they offer much better protection compared to other methods.
I wish you all safety and protection on your crypto journey. Stay safe!
