#BinanceSafetyInsights seen lots of posts of people getting hacked recently
safety tips:
- 2FA on an old phone instead of everyday phone. keep that phone offline, and somewhere safe—when you upgrade to a new phone, instead of trading it in, just cycle
- stop reusing the same password for everything. your chipotle account gets hacked so now you lost your crypto portfolio—think of how dumb that sounds
- don’t keep your seed phrase anywhere digital; this includes a screenshot on your phone. written by hand and kept in 2 secure places (one semi-accessible, the other as a fail-safe)
- don’t use exchanges as a bank account. If I had a dollar for every horror story I’ve heard about exchange accounts freezing funds / getting hacked, I’d have like…a lot of dollars
- limit api usage. know what you’re connecting and automatically assume that entire account is now 10x more susceptible to being compromised
- stop clicking links. all my friends know, no matter how much I trust them, I’m not clicking that shit—you shouldn’t either
