One constant fact that I've noticed since I got into crypto is that the moment a project or a company starts getting popular or begins to gain a huge follower base, it starts to attract scammers like Sugar to ants.
It honestly gets annoying after a while, I can't join a Telegram or Discord group without being DMed by a dozen of them, fake links flying here and there. A recent example is Bitget releasing a couple of articles to inform their users about phishing and a particular malicious browser extension named "AggrTrade". I've seen similar notifications from Binance, bybit also telling their users to be careful
Still, I guess we can only just remain careful to avoid falling victim to scammers after all there isn’t much that can be done. What have you guys been doing to keep your assets safe though? Drop some comments, let's learn.
If this is too much for your then your best bet is to get a hardware wallet, this is because a hardware wallet will allow you to protect yourself from most of those threats automatically, that being said, hardware wallets are not completely fool-proof, so you still need to be careful about what you do with that wallet, and by being cautious you can protect your coins with relative ease, while you have peace of mind knowing your coins are much harder to steal.
