Trading #العملات_الرقمية involves several risks, and some simple mistakes can empty your wallet or lead to hacking your account on trading platforms and cause you great risks and losses. To protect your cryptocurrencies from hackers and maintain your safety on the #بينانس platform or any other trading platform in the United Arab Emirates, you can follow the following steps to protect your account:
1. Always use two-factor authentication (2FA). Activating two-factor authentication on your account is a crucial first step toward securing your account and all your funds. Currently, we offer these two-factor authentication options: biometrics and security keys, app, email, and phone number.
2. Use strong and unique passwords: Use a long password that contains a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, do not use the same password on other platforms.
3. Check the list of devices authorized to access your #BINANCE account. If you see any devices you don’t recognize or no longer use, simply remove them. To do this:
A. Log in to your Binance account and go to [My Account] on your browser or app.
b. Check [Device Management] at the bottom of the [My Account] page on your browser or under the [Security] menu on the app.
c. Remove any unknown or unused devices. Once you delete a device, it will not be able to access your account unless you reconfirm it via email.
4. Always update your app to the latest version, only through official sources. Regular updating through official sources ensures that you are always protected in terms of the latest preventive measures used against bad actors.
5. Only allow withdrawals to addresses you trust and check your whitelist regularly. Binance’s withdrawal address management feature allows you to restrict which wallet addresses you can withdraw your funds to. Since each addition requires email confirmation, this feature can protect you in case of unauthorized access. Simply enable the [Whitelist] option in the [Manage Withdrawal Addresses] section.
6. Complete identity verification of your Binance account. Doing this allows you to trade digital assets on Binance while protecting you from attackers who may want to claim ownership of your account. It also allows our customer support team to resolve any issues you may have faster and more conveniently. Identity verification, also called the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, is a very important aspect of responsible and secure cryptocurrency operations like Binance.
7. Make sure your internet connection is secure. This step depends on your internet service provider (ISP) and any software services you use. Avoid connecting to public WiFi and other shared connections as much as possible, as they can put you at risk of being exposed to attackers seeking to intercept the data you send.
8. Use unique email addresses and change passwords regularly for each of your accounts, including your Binance account. An attacker could leverage data stolen from you on one service to try to access your account on another. You can reduce this risk by using multiple email addresses. We recommend changing your passwords every two to three months and making them complex enough. You can also use a secure password manager to keep track of your passwords.
These remain the most important tips and steps to take, if you adhere to these procedures, your crypto assets will be more secure.
