Stay safe
Yesterday you may have woke up with these posts on X. Well, several people got their wallets drained. I highlighted below some tips to minimize the damage you may have with a hack. The ideal, is to minimize it enough to the point you actually don’t get hacked and nothing gets lost.
Don’t click any link if you don’t know what it is
Double check links you are accessing
Bookmark the important links (but still check if they are correct)
Don’t Google links
Assume everyone who engage with you (in public or private) can be actually hacked
Assume whatever post on social networks can be a scam, no matter from whom it comes from
If you can, use a dedicated computer just to interact with your wallets
Learn to read and understand something before to actually sign with your wallet
Don’t let much money in your hot wallets, and use different wallets to store your crypto
Use a burn wallet to interact with suspect websites, free mints, etc
Keep your software updated
Use a hardware (and cold) wallet for your most important things - use more than one
Save your seed phrases in a safe place, not on the cloud, computer or something someone may easily have access
Take care with FOMO (fear of missing out) and sad stories people may tell you
Make sure to follow legit accounts, such as Metamask, Ledger, RevokeCash, among others
Remember: sometimes it is better to let a looking like good opportunity to go than to fall in a scam
Final remarks
Safety is important, especially if you consider your art, your collectors, your money also important. The tips I shared above are only some of the things you can do to minimize the chances to get hacked. Stay safe!
