Tips on how to prevent the attacks of hackers.
Never give out your private key to anyone
Always check the deposit and withdrawal address (1 no. or letter missing will be lost)
Beware of Airdrops - Many are scams
Beware of ICO's - Please do more #DYOR - Do your own research
Always use a hardware wallet or Metamask with Mew or if you have Trezor good use it.
Always check the official project site for all social media links
Always check the proper the name of the website always use HTTPS and check for the padlock
Check with the project before you download a wallet or other software sometimes with virus. (What are the 3 types of Malwares?)
1.Virus. A computer virus can automatically create and install a copy of itself on a computer's files, and – like a virus in humans – it can spread from computer to computer
2. Worm. Much like viruses, worms can automatically replicate and infect multiple files
3.Trojan

Famous Twitter users do not give away free crypto - Don't send them anything.
Be careful in the telegram sometimes they're using the names of admin remember (Most of the legit project, The Admins didn't pm you first)
Always Enable Two-FactorAuthentication on your accounts or MFA.(The best 2FA/MFA is made of blockchain)
