How to Improve Security for Your Crypto Wallet

Understanding Crypto Wallet Security Risks

Let's face it - your crypto is only as secure as the wallet holding it. Hackers are constantly trying new tricks: phishing scams, sneaky malware, social engineering, or even just stealing your physical devices.

Most people don't realize that when crypto gets stolen, it's rarely because of some fancy blockchain hack. It's usually because of simple mistakes we make in how we manage our wallets. Getting a handle on these everyday risks is your first real step toward keeping your digital money safe from the bad guys who are getting smarter by the day.

Why Basic Security Measures Aren't Enough

Sure, a strong password is better than "password123," but with crypto, that's just not cutting it anymore. Here's the brutal truth: once someone transfers your crypto away, you can kiss it goodbye - there's no bank to call, no fraud department to reverse the charges. That's why your crypto needs much better protection than your Netflix account.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn the basics of security for your crypto wallet. We’ll then explain how to use tools to evaluate the risks of what you’re doing in the cryptoverse (checking if a contract is safe, looking for potential hack of smart-contracts, malicious behaviour from the team, etc.)
