one way is to use 2nd factor authentication like https://authy.com/ or google authenticator. another way is to use a separate email, pc, and even a phone number for crypto only by keeping all the info secret. and what i meant by "only", i meant do not browse unsecure sites with your crypto pc, install games with your crypto phone, do not use your crypto email to sign up for offers, etc. i think you guys get the point.

there is never enough redundancy or security when it comes to crypto. if you own crypto, you are responsible for your own loss and not a bank, an insurance company, or even your phone provider. and one of the most secure and easy way to protect your crypto coins is a hardware wallet. so let's all be more careful and mindful of what downloads , websites, links, emails we are being spammed with all the time.

"we are always being hacked with one click away or don't click at all and stay safe"
