🛡️ Beware: Scams & Hacks – The #1 Danger in Crypto Trading

Crypto trading offers huge upside, but one threat stands above all: scams and security breaches. In H1 2025 alone, over US $2.5 billion was stolen through hacks and scams—$1.7 billion from compromised wallets and $400 million from phishing attacks .

🔐 *Why it’s so dangerous:*

Transactions are irreversible—if funds are sent to a scam address, there’s no “chargeback” .

Even top exchanges have been breached—WazirX lost ~$235 million in July 2024, Bitfinex ~$72 million in 2016 .

Sophisticated scams include phishing, Ponzi schemes (like OneCoin), and fake DeFi apps .

How to protect yourself:

1. Use trusted wallets and platforms—choose reputable exchanges with robust security audits .

2. Secure your keys—use hardware wallets, enable 2FA, and never share private keys.

3. Verify links & contracts—double‑check URLs, token addresses, and contract authenticity.

4. Stay informed—follow security alerts and audit reports. Awareness is your best defense.

Stay smart and safe—one click or transaction error can cost everything. Fundamental security is non‑negotiable in crypto.
