#StaySAFU
The acronym SAFU originally emerged in the context of Binance. "Stay SAFU" means "stay safe", reminding users of the need to take active steps to protect their assets from various threats.
Key principles of "stay SAFU":
- Use complex, unique passwords for all your crypto accounts (exchanges, wallets, email). Avoid using personal information and common words. Consider using a password manager.
- Enable 2FA wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring not only a password but also a one-time code generated by an app.
- For long-term storage of cryptocurrencies, use cold wallets (hardware wallets). They keep your private keys offline, making them virtually immune to online attacks.
- Do not click on suspicious links, do not open attachments from unknown senders, and do not share your personal information or private keys via email, social media, or over the phone.
It is important to continually educate yourself about new threats and fraud methods in the crypto space.
