Binance says it will cover all losses after a record $6.3 billion hack, but itโs a good day to check your own crypto setup.
Unlike a credit card, a crypto transaction is hard to reverse if someone gets into your account or wallet. A few basic habits go a long way.
6 ways to keep your crypto safe after the Binance hack:
๐ Turn on two-factor authentication.
๐ฆ Donโt leave more on an exchange than you need.
๐ง Keep a little in a hot wallet for trading and move the rest to a cold wallet. A hardware wallet can cost $60 to $250.
๐ Never share your private key or seed phrase. No real support agent will ask for it.
๐งน Check and revoke old wallet permissions.
๐ฃ Slow down on links, downloads and DMs. Phishing and fake apps are where a lot of theft starts.
