**🚨 Security Tips to Avoid Getting Hacked 🚨**

Seeing lots of posts about people getting hacked lately. Here’s how to protect yourself:

🔒 **2FA on a Dedicated Device**

→ Use an old phone for 2FA (Google Authenticator/Authy).

→ Keep it offline & secure. When upgrading, cycle it in instead of trading it in.

🔑 **Stop Reusing Passwords**

→ If your Chipotle account gets hacked, you shouldn’t lose your crypto portfolio.

→ Use a password manager (Bitwarden, KeePass) for unique passwords.

📝 **Secure Your Seed Phrase**

→ **Never** store it digitally—no photos, cloud backups, or notes apps.

→ Write it by hand & keep two copies: one accessible, one ultra-secure (e.g., safe deposit box).

💸 **Exchanges Aren’t Banks**

→ Too many horror stories of frozen funds/hacks. Withdraw to self-custody (hardware/cold wallet).

⚠️ **Limit API Keys**

→ Assume any connected account is 10x more vulnerable. Restrict permissions & regularly audit.

❌ **Stop Clicking Links**

→ Even from friends. Verify URLs independently. Phishing is the #1 attack vector.

**Final Thought:** Missing a trade sucks, but losing everything to a preventable hack is worse. **Paranoia = survival.** Stay safe.
