1. Dedicated Hardware: Use a separate, new and wiped out computer exclusively for crypto activities. Don't download any software, games and cracked torrents, they often contain malware! Don't watch movies and hentai on it, they often redirect to websites that can bring malware to your PC

2. Cautious Online Behavior: Do not click ANY suspicious links. When you go on a protocol, make 100% you are clicking the OFFICIAL link. There are many fake links under twitter posts with inpersonating accounts. Also official accounts get compromised a lot, so do not click any links! Also most of direct messages you receive on Discord and twitter are SCAM!. Always verify the authenticity of communications before engaging, or better never engage in DMs with crypto pc.

3. Secure Wallet Management: Cold Storage: Ideally utilize hardware wallets or other forms of cold storage to keep your private keys/seed phrase offline, significantly reducing the risk of online attacks. Ideally, set up a multisig if your bank is big. Seed Phrase Handling: Generate your seed phrase offline and record it on paper or a metal card; NEVER store it electronically, in apple notes, via screenshot or somewhere else on a device. Avoid typing your seed phrase on internet-connected devices. ALWAYS Be cautious whenever you are asked to type your seed phrase, because unless you are installing a wallet, it's a SCAM. Also a fake metamask or other wallet applications may auto install and prompt you to enter your seed phrase, so be CAREFUL
