I’m sure by now you should be aware of the malware that is targeting crypto wallets. Don’t underestimate the risk this malware can put your crypto apps in. So here are few tips to help avoid it.

1.You should avoid clicking on random links come across or downloading attachments from unknown or unexpected sources; it might be on your social media account or through emails.
However, you should keep an eye out for any unusual prompts, and never install extensions from untrusted sources.

2.You should install and update the antivirus you have on your PC.
Despite that, you need it to be a paid antivirus. Add Malwarebytes for more security chances, and also be careful when browsing the internet because both antivirus and Malwarebytes work based on how they are programmed. You shouldn't rely on it to provide adequate security.

3.You should turn off unnecessary remote access and also use a firewall to block fake connections.
Agreed.

4.Always check for emails that gives a sense of urgency to take a quick action.
Make sure you don't open the emails at all.


5.Check if there isn’t an unsual activity in your PC.
6.Also remember to scan for malware regularly on your computer
Agreed but make sure you set your internet security on automatic because you may forget to do the scanning at some point.

7.Use strong passwords and passkeys. Also apply 2 factor authentication.
Don't use Passkey since it uses icloud keychain which is a centralized cloud storage.
