🔒 Crypto Security: Main Threats and How to Protect Yourself
The last few weeks have shown that hackers have become more active – we share fresh threats and tips from Binance.
🚨 TOP-3 threats right now
1️⃣ Phishing through Google/Metamask – scammers create fake websites (e.g., Coingecko, Binance) and advertise them in search results.
- How to protect yourself? Always check the URL, use Binance Verify.
2️⃣ Hacks of DeFi protocols – this week Curve Finance was attacked ($2 million in losses).
- Tip: Check contracts through CertiK or SlowMist before approval.
3️⃣ Fake TG bots and support – there have been increased cases where "support service" asks for the seed phrase.
- Important: Real support will never ask for your private keys!
🛡️ 3 Safety Rules from Binance
✅ Enable 2FA (not SMS!) – better to use Google Authenticator or YubiKey.
✅ Do not share your secret phrase (seed phrase) with anyone – even if it's "urgent."
✅ Use a hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) for large sums.
Be careful – your capital is in your hands! 💪
