The blockchain /cryptocurrency business is no longer for newbies. One shouldn't remain a newbie forever. Upgrade your knowledge by reading. One should have a little technical know how on how to secure their wallets. People need to realise what private keys and passphrase symbolises. That no one else aside them should have access to it. There are lots of airdrop phishing sites that look so appealing at first, but on a single click, once wallet can be compromised. I fell victim once and lost all my tokens until I had to do my own reading on how to safeguard my Wallet. Stopped visiting insecure sites where my security can be compromised. Ignorance is no longer an excuse, as hackers prey on the ignorant and capitalize on any loophole they find.

Sorry to hear that you have been a victim once. Most of time I think though that newbies should go and experience this growing pains before you will learn everything here in crypto. I myself was a victim in the past, and with that I learn how to safeguard and protect my crypto wallet. I even separate everything, I have a desktop for my crypto activity only and other machines for other used.

When we use the wallets (not hot wallets) then no way of getting hacked,we maybe phished or stolen but we are not going to lose wallet just because of the mistake or issue with an website so we have to learn what is the wallet first when we enters into crypto wallet.
