Private Keys are privacy only you know the rest don't tell your surroundings including relatives and friends, this is clear that no one should know it but if beginners are aware of this then they will definitely improve security in any way so that the Private Key is more secure.

Exchange problems really have to be resolved there via live chat or email if this leads to the outside of the problem and scammers usually switch to telegram then it's a scam, the important thing is we have to raise awareness when experiencing problems contact with official email or any support.

You just don't hand over your phone to your friend or any stranger if it contains all of your sensitive information like private keys. And why save your private keys on your phone or emails?

There could still be people saving all of their private keys and seeds on emails and they should stop doing that or they'll learn the lesson the hardest way.

Keep a low profile and don't intend to be the boastful type to your circle of friends or strangers because you'll never know whom you can trust.

Great, I like those newbies on crypto who are willing to learn first about security and privacy which is very important in the crypto world.

If you want to dig more research and gain further information I want you to read this thread, there's a lot of information that newbies must know before they jump in investing crypto.  It's an advantage for crypto holders if you've knowledgable enough technically and fundamentally when it comes to Bitcoin.

As I'd say, stay vigilant at all times, keep your valuable things safe and be responsible for them.

The first question to every beginner with regards to safety is in the words "Private Key". Simply asking what does this phrase actually means, a beginner is expected to grasps what it all entails without being told or even with the least given detail. The only confusion tha a few is expected to phase in this is the how to secure there private keys or seed phrases and that is entirely upto the beginner as to the best means of safety and reproducing it when it's needed.

Now it's important that you know that,
1. Your private key/seed phrase is like a master key
2. It could reproduce its wallet anywhere and on any device where ever its used around the world
3. It gives the user complete authority over the wallet
4. It is supposed to stay unique to a single individual

Hence, the importance of private key and why its expected to be the most protected or secured code in the cryptospace cannot be over emphasised.
It's expected of a beginner to learn the pros and cons of the cryptospace and should he or she come by any wallet compromised in the early stage of there crypto journey, they just create a new one, move all funds over and they are safe again. There is security in privacy hence, its of importance that you stay private.

If you want to make sure that your Bitcoins don't get lost, you need to create a full backup of your wallet with your Bitcoin private keys. In addition, you'll need to create a hard copy of them somewhere that you are sure not to lose. But, the most important thing is to avoid your private keys getting into the wrong hands in the first place.

That's why you should keep your private keys safe from thieves, hackers, and/or accidental loss. These kinds of mishaps are one of the biggest threats to newbies and less experienced Bitcoin users. Don't ever take security lightly.

1.) Be careful with people who introduce you to crypto currency because some of them might steal your keys and you will not know that is why we have plenty of cases were people funds go missing without a trace , and also be careful who you give your phone for those keeping there keys online saved in there email e.t.c that is why it has been advised to stop saving your keys and passwords online but people still fall victim be alert.

2.) when you  have a problem with an exchange don’t reply to people that chat you outside the exchange and start requesting you to fill forms , I learned and research a lots when it comes to security, seek coaching and do more research before perform transactions.
         BE ALERT
