Many crypto losses come from weak passwords, phishing links, and unsafe permissions rather than sophisticated attacks. Basic account hygiene should be finished before active trading.

Security checklist

• Use authenticator-based 2FA instead of SMS when possible.
• Enable withdrawal whitelists and anti-phishing codes.
• Keep long-term holdings in self-custody and trading funds on exchanges.
• Use bookmarks for official sites instead of search ads.

Any page asking for a seed phrase or private key should be treated as malicious.
