Episode Highlights

• Public Wi-Fi is not secure, for the most part. If you must use public Wi-fi, then consider downloading a VPN
• If you can, use a designated malware-free device for all crypto-related activities, and limit the amount of time that it is connected to Wi-Fi
• Bookmark all the crypto websites that you frequently visit, and always double- and triple-check their URLs before entering any login credentials
• Enable multiple-factor authentication for all accounts. The harder it is for you to log into your account, the harder it will be for a bad actor to do so as well.
• Backup all wallet recovery phrases, keys, and seed phrases, and 2fa recovery codes.
