#CryptoSecurity101 My crypto security started with the question: "Are you ready to lose everything?" I was careless with passwords, 2FA, and stored seed phrases on my phone. Until I lost $7000.
My bitter experience:
In winter 2022, in DeFi, I connected to an unknown protocol that promised insane returns. Eventually, my MetaMask wallet was drained, transferring $7000 to someone else's address. I signed a transaction that granted the attacker unlimited access. The money was lost.
Key lessons (and what you should know):
• "I will do it later" = "Never". 2FA and a hardware wallet are must-haves.
• Security = a must. Keep your seed phrase offline (paper, safe).
• Every connection is a risk. Carefully check smart contracts and regularly revoke permissions (for example, revoke.cash).
• DYOR applies to everything. Don’t chase high returns on unverified platforms.
Your Exclusive Protection Plan:
• Strong passwords: Unique, complex.
• 2FA everywhere: Better use Google Authenticator.
• Hardware wallets: Your fortress for significant amounts.
• Offline seed phrase: Only on paper, in secure places.
• Caution with links and phishing: Check everything, never share private keys.
My $7000 lesson was painful, but it made me a responsible crypto user. Security is constant vigilance. Don’t wait for your own lesson. Start changing your crypto fortress today! #CryptoSecurity #dyor #2FA #defi
