🔸Today I learned in the live session with @KeanuLeafes and @Halving2024 a CRUCIAL security measure that we must always keep in mind, especially when trading with our cryptocurrencies, and I wanted to share it with you. 😉
AVOID CONNECTING TO PUBLIC WIFI NETWORKS WHEN MAKING TRANSACTIONS OR ACCESSING YOUR BINANCE ACCOUNT! ⚠️
Wi-Fi networks in public spaces, such as shopping malls, airports, cafes, or even those of neighbors that you can access without a password, are inherently less secure. Why?
* Lack of robust encryption: Many public networks do not use strong encryption, making it easier for third parties to intercept the information you send and receive.
* Malicious access points (Evil Twin): Cybercriminals can create fake Wi-Fi networks with names similar to legitimate ones to trick you and steal your credentials.
* Spyware on the network: On compromised networks, programs may be installed to monitor user activity.
What risks do you run by using public Wi-Fi for Binance?
* Theft of your credentials: Your username, password, and two-factor authentication codes could be intercepted.
* Unauthorized access to your account: An attacker could take control of your Binance account and execute trades without your consent.
* Loss of funds: In the worst-case scenario, you could lose your valuable cryptocurrencies.
What can you do to protect yourself?
* Always use your mobile data connection: This is usually more secure than a public Wi-Fi network.
* Consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for your internet connection, protecting your data even on public networks. Make sure to use a reliable VPN provider.
* NEVER make transactions or access sensitive information (like your Binance account) on public Wi-Fi networks. Wait until you have a secure and private connection.
* Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Binance account: This adds an extra layer of security, even if someone obtains your password.
* Keep your device and applications always updated: Updates often include important security patches.
The security of your funds is paramount. Share this important information with other Binancians so that everyone is protected! 💪 #Binance #Seguridad #Criptomonedas 😉💚❤️ $BNB
