### **Crypto Security: How to Protect Your Assets?**

Digital assets require increased attention to security — they cannot be recovered in case of theft or fraud. Here are the key rules for protection.

#### **Main Threats**

- **Exchange Hacks** – even large CEX (Mt.Gox, FTX) are vulnerable.

- **Phishing** – fake websites and emails to steal passwords.

- **Keylogger Viruses** – theft of seed phrases and private keys.

- **Fraudulent Schemes** – fake ICOs, "free giveaways".

#### **How to Protect Yourself?**

1. **Cold Wallets** (Ledger, Trezor) – the best way to store large amounts.

2. **2FA and Complex Passwords** – always use Google Authenticator, not SMS.

3. **Contract Verification** – before a transaction in DeFi, analyze the address on Etherscan.

4. **Separate Device** – it's better to allocate a separate device for crypto operations.

5. **Secrecy of Seed Phrase** – never store it in digital form.
