#SOP How to protect your cryptocurrencies from hacking 🔐
▪️ Use cold wallets. Store your assets on offline wallets or physical devices, such as Ledger or Trezor. They are not connected to the internet: perfect for long-term storage.
▪️ Do not store coins for long-term investments on exchanges. If you bought BTC for 10 years, it makes sense to keep it on a hardware wallet; only those assets that are used for trading or generate passive income should be on the exchange.
▪️ Diversify assets. Distribute crypto between different exchanges and wallets. Logic: one was hacked, two remained intact 😏
▪️ Use 2FA and backup seed phrases. Enable 2FA on all platforms, back up seed phrases, and store them in a safe place (in a safe or under the pillow).
▪️ Protection against phishing. Use a VPN, antivirus, and be cautious with suspicious links.
