Safety and Security
- 1.When creating a wallet, keep a copy of your security key private and do not share them with any one.
- 2.Store your security key! If you lose you security keys, you may lose access to your crypto.
- 3.When in chat rooms, very rarely will a moderator or team member DM you directly. Any direct DM should be met with scrutiny.
- 4.Be cautious when granting sites access to your wallet. Research and trust the sites you approve your wallet to interact with.
- 1.Use an actual antivirus (Recommended: BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET...)
- 2.Use MalwareBytes (Scanning for threats, viruses, keyloggers...)
- 3.Use a different browser/account/OS for your Crypto
- 4.NoScript add-on on Firefox (NoScript BLOCKS all scripts, making your browser extremely secure, virtually untouchable - THIS WILL LIKELY BREAK MOST WEBSITES, Whitelist websites you trust and use regularly, including DEXes)
- 5.Uninstall unnecessary applications, with a software that can remove all of its leftovers (uninstall especially illegally obtained, 'cracked' software) and browser add-ons you use next to MetaMask (All of those might be snooping on your keystrokes and even execute scripts, draining your funds without having your seed phrase!)
- 6.Don't let your children use your PC or account
- 7.Do NOT use your wallet with other applications running and add-ons enabled
- 8.If you're using MetaMask on Brave, Chrome or Opera. Right-click on MetaMask and select "This can read and change site data", choose "When you click the extension"
- 9.If you're COPYING and PASTING addresses, DOUBLE-CHECK, if it's the address you copied (Malwares can replace addresses you copied with a different one. Do NOT copy-paste passwords)
- 10.Do NOT store passwords, nor seeding phrases digitally! (Use a pen and make several copies of your passwords, store them in different, SECURE places, preferably in a bag that will hold off moisture)
- 11.Bookmark your frequented sites and keep in-check with their groups (Site COULD get DNS-hijacked, replaced with a malicious one, draining your funds the moment you allow the malicious site to access your wallet)
- 12.DOUBLE-CHECK if apps you're installing and websites you're visiting are REAL
- 13.Do NOT use SMS authentication! Use Google or Authy for Two Factor Authentication (2FA) (SMS authentication has and will keep on being exploited for hackers, so-called SIM swapping)
- 14.Use a different e-mail for your crypto accounts. Another, different e-mail for CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap accounts
- 15.Admins will NOT be contacting you first! Not on Discord, not on Telegram, not anywhere!
