A friend of mine invested some of his savings in Bitcoin. But unfortunately today his personal wallet got hacked. Balance 00. I was telling my friend how that . My friend said he gets a message on Telegram and gets greedy and enters the link they provide and connects his wallet. After a while he came and saw that his balance was zero.
"Sin of Covetousness and Death in Sin" Like my friend, none of you connect wallets by entering any bad links. No one will be deceived like my friend.
So for newbies reading this, I will reiterate the following security tips to abide by whenever you are online. It will help keep your bitcoin safe.
- Use Cold Wallets
- Secure Your Devices- have the latest update of your system, install strong anti-virus and firewall protections
- Keep your seed phrase in a safe place
- Ensure you have a strong password. Change it if you ever feel that it has been compromised
- Be aware of phishing attacks - It may be like the one the OP narrated in his story
- Be sure to double- and triple-check the recipient's wallet address.
