⁉️ How to Stay Safe: Avoiding Scams and Protecting Your Crypto
• First, use reputable exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken and wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, or Trust Wallet. These platforms have strong security measures to safeguard your funds 🔐
• Activate two-factor authentication (2FA) on all your accounts. Email, crypto exchange account, phone crypto apps, etc. This adds an extra layer of security and makes unauthorized access much more difficult.
• Be cautious of phishing attempts. Never click on suspicious links or emails asking for your private keys or passwords. Legitimate services will never ask for this information, NEVER 🤦
• Don't download files from suspicious emails, direct messages on Telegram, etc. Even PDF files can carry malware that can compromise your device.
• Keep private keys and recovery phrases from your crypto wallets offline (written on paper) in a safe place. If someone gets hold of these, they can steal your crypto, it's much easier to do if these keys are stored digitally or online.
• Always double-check transaction details before sending crypto. Transactions are irreversible, so ensure you're sending the right amount to the correct address. If you send large amounts of crypto, first send a test transaction worth $1 to see if everything is right 🔍
