Security! This is often yelled in jest with friends and family when someone stole a food item off your plate or took something from you in hopes you'd laugh about it. But, in the digital world, this is a very serious topic.
We've all had them... scam emails, phishing attacks, scam phone calls, text messages, spam, and they're getting more and more sophisticated. Now, more than ever, it is so important to stay safe and keep your information secure. The FBI has released warnings that scam efforts are the highest they have ever been. Heed this warning and make sure you take every precaution to keep from getting your information and your crypto stolen. You don't want to be the subject of the next headline article.
In today's episode we go over everything we know about protecting yourself in the digital space and how to best protect your crypto with the latest software and hardware. We'll chat about secure and encrypted email systems, SIM-swapping, hot wallets, cold wallets, cold storage, trading platforms, centralized exchanges, and your keys and where to store them. We have multiple recommendations, but ultimately the decision is up to you. Give this episode a listen a few times, do your homework, make your choices, and implement them immediately! This is not something to mess around with; we want you to be safe!
Join in the conversation and let's talk security!
