The main cybersecurity threats in cryptocurrency transactions
-
Guys, I have a question about crypto wallets and security. Recently, my friend had his cryptocurrency stolen from his wallet, and it happened through phishing. He clicked on a fake email and there was a link – voila, he didn’t even notice how his wallet became empty. Now I’m a little paranoid and thinking about how to protect myself and my transactions. I’ve heard that there are different levels of security and that you can supposedly protect everything, but what really works? Maybe someone has experienced something similar? What are the effective methods of protection?

You know, this is a really important topic, especially if you remember how often accounts are hacked in the cryptosphere. Often such attacks are based on users’ lack of knowledge. I found an article that may be useful – here is the link: https://www.economicsonline.co.uk/all/are-crypto-cards-safe-how-to-avoid-risks.html/ . It describes the main threats and security tips. For example, using multi-factor authentication helped me, although it’s not the only thing to do. It is also important to check links and not to trust the first notifications you see. I think that’s the basics to avoid getting into these situations.

Interesting topic, especially nowadays when more and more people are starting to use crypto. I’m personally not into it yet, but I’m always curious to hear what precautions there are in such a fast-growing field. I’ll be following the discussion and maybe I’ll get involved in cryptocurrency myself at some point.
