#CryptoSecurity101 1. Using cold wallets
Cold wallets like Ledger, Trezor are not connected to the Internet, so they avoid most attacks.
This is the safest way to store cryptocurrency for the long term.
For: long-term investors, infrequent traders.
2. Hot wallet security
If you use hot wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc., you need to:
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with email, app (Google Authenticator).
Do not store recovery mnemonic phrases on online devices (email, cloud, notes).
Do not click on strange links - attackers often impersonate airdrops, technical support to trick you into giving away your private keys.
3. Remember and store recovery phrases securely
Do not share the recovery phrase (12/24 words) with anyone, even those claiming to be "support".
Write it down on paper, or use a metal wallet to avoid physical damage.
