A lot of us already know that one of the biggest attack surfaces in crypto isn’t just smart contract exploits or shady tokens, it’s our own devices. Many of us browse Discord, check emails, click links, experiment with downloads and manage wallets all on the same phone or PC. That’s convenient, but it also means one successful malware infection could compromise everything.
Some people go the extra mile with:
Dedicated clean devices (used only for wallets and sensitive transactions)
Hardware wallets for cold storage
Virtual machines or separate OS profiles to keep daily browsing away from crypto assets
Others prefer the convenience of using just one device, backed by good practices like strong passwords, 2FA, and antivirus.
If I may ask, what’s your approach? Do you separate devices for crypto security, or do you handle everything on a single machine/phone and trust your habits?
Well you already know my own approach.
