🚨 SECURITY ALERT ⚠️ HOW A COFFEE AT THE AIRPORT CAN EMPTY YOUR CRYPTO WALLET ❗ ☕😱
You're having a coffee or a beer at a bar, airport, or hotel and decide to quickly check your wallet balance using the free Wi-Fi at the location.
Seems harmless 👉 CORRECT ❓ WRONG❗ 🛑
In a recent study ➡️ That raises a red flag ⥱ Public Wi-Fi is the "silent enemy" wiping out unsuspecting cryptocurrency investors' accounts.
Learn how hackers operate and how NOT to become the next victim. 🧵👇
👺 The "Man-in-the-Middle" (MITM) Attack
Imagine the hacker literally placing themselves in the middle of your connection. Everything you type » passwords, private keys, or recovery phrases » passes through their device before reaching the network. They see everything in real time!
👯 Evil Twin Networks
Criminals create networks with names identical to the location's (e.g., "Aeroporto_Free_WiFi"). Once connected, you hand over complete control of your data traffic to the attacker. Once logged into your exchange or wallet, your funds can vanish in seconds. 💸💨
🛠️ 3 GOLDEN RULES TO PROTECT YOUR ASSET
AVOID PUBLIC WI-FI ⥱ For crypto transactions, always use your mobile data (4G/5G). It's infinitely safer.
USE A VPN ALWAYS ⥱ If no alternative, use a trusted VPN. It creates an encrypted "tunnel" that protects your data, even on open networks. 🛡️
2FA AUTHENTICATION (NOT SMS) ⥱ Use apps like Google Authenticator or physical keys (Yubikey). 2FA via SMS can also be intercepted on compromised networks!
