The best thing you can do to protect your crypto is to educate yourself on cybersecurity best practices and stay up to date with the latest news on the topic. To help get you started, we’ve put together a few tips on how to keep your digital wallet secure:

  • Be cautious when reading and opening messages you get to protect yourself from phishing

  • Try to avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks

  • Keep your antivirus software up to date. If you can afford to pay for it, we recommend doing so, as it‘s likely to offer you better protection than free packages

  • Don’t brag about your crypto wallet, your portfolio performance, and never reveal any information about your private keys to anyone

  • Educate yourself on cybersecurity. There are lots of courses online to help you learn more. You can find out how attacks usually happen, and what you can do to avoid them
