#CryptoSecurity101 Crypto security involves protecting cryptocurrency assets and transactions from threats like hacking, fraud, and theft.

Key aspects include:

Private Key Protection: Private keys are secret codes granting access to your crypto. Store them offline (e.g., hardware wallets or paper wallets) to prevent hacks. Never share them.

Secure Wallets: Use reputable software or hardware wallets. Hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) are more secure as they’re offline. Ensure wallet software is updated to patch vulnerabilities.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA on exchanges and wallets to add an extra layer of security, requiring a second verification step (e.g., SMS or authenticator apps).

Phishing Awareness: Avoid suspicious links, emails, or sites mimicking legitimate platforms. Verify URLs and only use official apps or websites.

Encryption & Backups: Encrypt wallets and back up keys securely. Use strong, unique passwords and store backups in safe locations (e.g., safety deposit boxes).
