#CryptoSecurity101 Crypto security refers to the measures and technologies used to protect digital assets, wallets, and transactions in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Because cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks and are often irreversible, securing them is crucial. Common threats include hacking, phishing, malware, and scams targeting both individuals and exchanges. Key security practices include using hardware wallets, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), regularly updating software, and avoiding suspicious links or platforms.
