With the increase in data breach incidents like the recent Coinbase hack, it has become essential for every cryptocurrency investor to take steps to protect themselves, not just from financial losses, but also from physical threats.

Here are some basic protection steps:

Use a dedicated email and phone number for encryption.

Do not link your personal account with trading platform accounts.

Keep your identity hidden as much as possible.

Do not share photos or personal information on social media that show you own cryptocurrencies.

Use Cold Wallets.

Store the majority of your coins in offline wallets.

Do not save real addresses on platforms.

Use P.O. boxes or dedicated addresses when you need to enter an address.

Enable two-step verification (2FA).

It is preferable to use apps like Authy or Google Authenticator instead of text messages.

Monitor your accounts continuously.

Check for any suspicious activities and enable security alerts.

Consider real-world privacy.

Do not talk about your profits or large investments in public.

Important reminder:

Even the strongest platform is not completely immune, so you are the first line of defense for yourself. Make security a priority, not a luxury.
