Unfortunately, there are malicious hackers out there who will try and steal your cryptocurrency.

There are some important rules to remember to protect your cryptocurrency, such as:

  • NEVER share your private keys with anyone. Ledger, Trezor or cryptocurrency projects will never ask for your seed phrase.

  • Use 2FA on all crypto exchange accounts.

  • Avoid using public Wi-Fi where possible.

  • Create unique passwords using a password manager.

  • Be aware of phishing scams that try to trick you into thinking you’re on an official website.
