Cryptocurrency security requires proactive measures to prevent theft and hacking: always use hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) for long-term storage, enable two-factor authentication (2FA via apps like Google Authenticator, not SMS), avoid sharing private keys or seed phrases, verify wallet addresses before transactions, and beware of phishing scams. Stick to reputable exchanges with strong security protocols, keep software updated, and consider multi-signature wallets for added protection. Diversifying storage across hot (online) and cold (offline) wallets minimizes risk, while staying informed about common crypto scams ensures safer trading and investing.**
