One of the most common ways to steal money from a wallet is to lose or steal a seed phrase. For example, a friend of mine downloaded an unlicensed game that had a virus that archived files and downloaded them over the Internet to a dedicated server. Since my friend used Rabbi Valet, the seed phrase was stored in a .txt file on his computer. That's how it was stolen. After a while, my friend looked and there wasn't a single dollar in his wallet. When he told me about it, I asked him if he had downloaded anything and if he had given any permissions to read the clipboard, which could also steal the seed phrase or password. Then he told me that he had downloaded an unlicensed game.

The first thing I advised him was to download and buy only licensed games, and to monitor what extensions you allow in the browser, and if he decides to save money, then use wallets that have multi-signature (this means that to make any transaction or action, you need a signature not only on your wallet, but also on others that are entered in the book of signatories, so even if your seed phrase is stolen or lost, the funds will remain in storage). By the way, such a wallet is @myBraavos, at the moment it is the most convenient and safe way to save money, a friend uses it and everything seems to be ok!
