#CryptoSecurity101 : Protect Your Digital Assets Like a Pro
As cryptocurrencies gain adoption, threats are evolving too. Here are 5 golden rules to secure your wallets and avoid common pitfalls:
1. Choose a Suitable Wallet
- Hardware Wallets (Ledger, Trezor): The safest solution for long-term storage.
- Software Wallets: MetaMask or Trust Wallet (always check official links).
2. Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
- Use Google Authenticator or YubiKey instead of SMS (vulnerable to SIM swapping).
3. Beware of Scams
- Phishing: Always check URLs before entering your private keys.
- Fake Support: Binance never asks for your credentials via email.
4. Manage Your Private Keys
- Never share them: Store them offline (e.g., encrypted paper).
- Avoid Clouds: Dropbox/Google Drive are targets for hackers.
5. Stay Informed
- Follow alerts from Binance Security and protocol updates.
