How to Protect Your Crypto Assets from Cyber Threats?
To safeguard yourself from Clipper malware and other cyber threats, follow these essential security tips:
1. Verify App Authenticity
Ensure the apps, plugins, and tools you use are genuine and downloaded from official sources. Avoid installing software from third-party or unofficial websites, as these are often breeding grounds for malware.
2. Double-Check Withdrawal Addresses
Always double-check or even triple-check your withdrawal address before confirming a transaction. For added security:
Take a screenshot of the wallet address before initiating a transaction.
