#账户安全 《Encrypted Asset Security Sharing Series》
Today, there were 3 cases of account asset theft, and all of them were huge amounts (about 1 million U)
In these thefts today, hackers seem to have taken control of user accounts and can force transactions and asset withdrawals, rather than profiting through counter-trading. The reasons behind this are still under investigation. It seems that the victims did not enable 2FA secondary verification
In addition to the most common phishing attacks in the crypto circle (clicking on phishing links intentionally or unintentionally), some tips are summarized:
1. Use mobile apps, try not to use web apps
2. Do not download plugins randomly, and do not click on unfamiliar links randomly
3. Be sure to enable 2FA secondary verification, SMS, email, Google Authenticator, etc.
4. Remember to cancel the signature in time after completing the interaction (for example, when the gas is low)
5. It is best to use Apple devices, which are more secure
6. Telegram Discord Don’t believe any private messages on Twitter. For example, you may be pulled into a group that looks very similar to the official one in Telegram.
7. Identify whether a Twitter post is an official one by looking at the number and quality of your common friends.
8. Don’t randomly click on links to small projects such as staking and lottery (fishing for small profits)
9. To interact, you must go to the official website. Don’t use Google to search for the official website address. Enter the official website from the official Twitter or Coingecko marked website. Cross-certify through multiple channels (official accounts may also be hacked and hackers may attach phishing links)
10. Don’t put all your assets in one place, whether it is a cold wallet or somewhere else, especially don’t put them in a place that you may not control
11. When using a cold wallet, especially for large assets, never connect to the Internet and do not interact with it. Store a small amount of funds in a hot wallet for interaction, and separate hot and cold
12. Understand the importance of mnemonics. With mnemonics, you can restore your wallet and the assets in it anywhere. Don’t enter mnemonics anywhere.
13. When creating a wallet, it is safest if the private key does not touch the network
14. The best way to use an interactive wallet is to use a combination of hot and cold wallets.
15. Develop the habit of doing test transfers, transfer a small amount of funds into a wallet to see if it can be transferred out. If the signature cannot be transferred out due to inadequate settings, the assets will be zero, and only paper wealth will remain.
