It seems like every day I read about hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto being stolen. A simple phishing attack could wipe out your savings. Since there’s no authority to do anything about it, that money is gone. To me, this affects more people than the “flee your land, take nothing with you” crowd.
- randomhodler84 5y agoDo understand what these hacks are. It gets stolen from: Exchanges Smart Contracts People that give away their keys. I’d you don’t risk giving your Bitcoin to an exchange, don’t wrap it and give it to smart contracts, and don’t give away your keys, you should be ok. If your keys are stored safely you wont be phished. I feel bad for people that are, but it is their mistake, not the technology.
- Thiez 5y agoYou forgot people who get malware with a keylogger. Or are those included in the category of people that give away their keys?
- randomhodler84 5y agoIf this is a credible threat to the individual, I would recommend a hardware wallet. But yeah, it’s generally the same case as giving away your keys. Don’t use your keys in the main memory of a compromised system.
