Holiday season is here—but so are heightened security risks for your crypto holdings. 🚨
When you're traveling and caught up in the holiday rush, it's easy to let your guard down. Here's what you need to know:
✓ Skip public Wi-Fi whenever possible. Coffee shop networks are a hacker's playground, especially when you're accessing your wallet or exchange account.
✓ Double-check every transaction before confirming. A few seconds of verification beats losing funds in seconds.
✓ Guard your recovery phrases like they're gold. Screenshot them? Bad idea. Storing them digitally? Worse. Physical backup in a secure location is your best bet.
The holidays bring travel excitement, but protecting your assets shouldn't take a holiday. Stay alert, stay secure.

Public wifi is really something... I almost got phished in Starbucks last time I was on a business trip. Now, unless I'm using my mobile hotspot, I absolutely refuse to use my Wallet.

Haha, connecting to the public network in a café is really a suicidal act. I was scared by this once before.

Public wifi is really a big trap. Last time I connected at the airport, it scared me so much I was in a cold sweat... A hardware wallet is definitely more reassuring.

Going out during the holidays is the easiest to mess up. My fren dared to access the Wallet on public Wi-Fi in a café, and now they're still crying.
