We want to save funds without any risks. That's why hardware wallet is extremely important. But to exchange, exchange is needed. We can get a lot of protection from malware by trusted exchanges. If newbie look into these two issues, he/she will be able to save the capital and sleep in peace at night. They must be kept in mind
Do you? If your computer and phone are infected, there is nothing keeping the hacker from getting access to your accounts/wallets. Because forums or exchanges can only provide users their security protection, but they can not guarentee anything if users have unhealthy habits and put their devices under threats.
Users have to protect their accounts and their balances themselves by maintaining healthy behaviour.
I mentioned about it here:
[1] Having healthy behaviours when using Internet
The healthier behaviours on Internet space you have, the safer your devices, your identities, and your funds are.
You can spend funds to buy whatever antivirus or Internet security softwares for your devices, but their database have to upgrade regularly to keep your devices safely. Sometimes, database of software providers are not relevantly updated to newest harmful threats and your devices will be under risks of attacks if you have unhealthy habits. Basically, such softwares are unable to completely to secure your devices for sure.
[3] Narrowing down sites that you have plan to visit
I meant, you should not over use different sites that give you nearly the same thing. Personally, coinmarketcap.com is my favorite site, and I don't have intention to use other sites, like coingecko, and so on. It is obviously a personal favorite, but the more sites you visit, the higher risks you can fall into phishing sites.
