One month ago, I was part of a coordinated attack on blockchain executives. (I am one of the co-founders of https://provide.services). It was shockingly easy for them to take over my accounts, despite being security conscious. They attacked dozens of others around the same time across T-Mobile, AT&T and likely others.

I hope this story and the lessons learned helps you protect your crypto!

This is one of the most common attacks in many years, and there is no correct way to stop it. Professional hackers can break all security. They always have new attacks to remove all layers of security to hijack the accounts of the users they want. The best way to ensure the security of your account, turn on all the security layers provided by the system.
