#CryptoSecurity101

"Crypto security" refers to the protection of digital assets—like cryptocurrencies, tokens, and blockchain-based data—from theft, fraud, hacking, and unauthorized access. It spans both personal security practices and the broader technical and organizational security of blockchain systems and platforms.

Here’s a breakdown of key areas of crypto security:

---

🔐 1. Personal/User Security

a. Private Key Protection

Your private key is the only way to access your crypto. If it's lost or stolen, your funds are gone.

Use hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) to store keys offline.

Avoid storing keys on cloud storage or plain text files.
