#CryptoSecurity101

Crypto security is paramount due to the irreversible nature of transactions. The foundation lies in safeguarding your private keys, which grant access to your digital assets. Never share them or store them in easily accessible online locations.

Key principles include:

* Secure Wallets: Utilize hardware wallets ("cold storage") for large holdings as they store keys offline, making them immune to online hacks. Use "hot wallets" (software wallets) for smaller, active trading amounts.

* Strong Passwords & 2FA: Employ unique, complex passwords for all crypto-related accounts and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible, preferably using authenticator apps over SMS.

* Beware of Scams: Be vigilant against phishing attempts, suspicious links, and unsolicited offers. Verify all URLs and sources.

* Software Updates: Keep all wallet software, operating systems, and antivirus programs updated to patch vulnerabilities.

* Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Public networks are insecure and can expose your data. Use a VPN if you must access crypto on public Wi-Fi.
