#CryptoSecurity101 CryptoSecurity101 Crypto security is critical to protecting your digital assets. Here’s a concise guide to the basics:
Secure Your Private Keys
Private keys are your access to your crypto. Never share them.
Store them offline in a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) or a paper wallet.
Avoid keeping keys on internet-connected devices or cloud storage.
Use Strong Passwords and 2FA
Create unique, complex passwords for crypto exchanges and wallets.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA), preferably with an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) or hardware key, not SMS.
Choose Reputable Platforms
Use well-established exchanges and wallets with strong security records.
Research platforms for past hacks, user reviews, and transparency (e.g., proof of reserves).
