Lesson 02: How to NEVER GET HACKED in crypto.

The only security guide you’ll need:

1 / Scammers have leveled up.

Fake airdrops. Phishing sites that perfectly mimic the real thing. One wrong click or token approval—and your wallet’s gone.

But here’s the good news: You can bulletproof your setup.

2 / Your seed phrase is the master key to your crypto life.

If someone gets it, they don’t just access your wallet—they own it.

Never store it on your phone, computer, or cloud.

Keep it offline. Written. Hidden. Secure.

Lose it or leak it—and it’s game over. No recovery. Ever.

3 / Storing your seed phrase the right way is non-negotiable.

- Write it on paper — or better yet, use a metal backup like Cryptosteel.

- Keep multiple copies in separate, secure places: a home safe, bank deposit box, or with someone you deeply trust.

🚫 No photos. No screenshots.

📷 No cloud. No password managers.

4 / Use a hardware wallet. Seriously.

Hot wallets like MetaMask are convenient—but they’re always online, and that means exposed.

A hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) keeps your private keys offline, out of reach from hackers.

If you’re holding real money in crypto, this isn’t optional. It’s the baseline.

5 / Phishing scams are everywhere—and they’re getting harder to spot.

Fake sites can look identical to the real ones. One wrong click, and your wallet’s drained.

✅ Always double-check URLs.

📷 Never click random links on Telegram, Discord, or Twitter.

If someone DMs you a link out of nowhere, assume it’s a scam.

6 / Secure your devices—because if your device is compromised, so is your wallet.

🔒 Use 2FA (never SMS). Stick to apps like Google Authenticator—or better, a hardware key like YubiKey.

📶 Avoid public Wi-Fi. Use a VPN whenever possible.

🛡️ Keep your OS, browser, and wallet apps updated—patches fix real vulnerabilities.

Security starts before you even open your wallet.

7 / Be extra careful with trading and dApps.

1) Always verify the contract address before buying
