Even if you split the seed phrase into 5 parts and buried it in different corners of the planet, your wallet is still vulnerable and here's how a hacker can learn the private keys:
🐟 Phishing. The easiest way to find out a seed phrase is to ask for it. To do this, hackers send emails supposedly on behalf of hardware wallet developers, release fake cryptocurrency wallet updates, or create websites that ask for the seed phrase to connect to.
New phishing methods are constantly emerging, so to avoid falling victim to it, never share your seed phrase with anyone, even if Satoshi Nakamoto himself writes to you.
⚙️ Flashed hardware wallet. Such devices have high reliability, but there is a nuance. You can only use a completely new wallet from the official manufacturer. If a hacker gets access to the device before you, he will generate the keys himself and then just wait for you to replenish the balance.
Never use used hardware wallets and you should be 100% sure that you bought the original device.
🛑 Key generation scam sites. In fact, this is another way of phishing, but here the hacker does not steal your key, but simply generates it to the user with the help of his own site. And then waits for the funds to appear on the wallet and withdraws them.
Don't use third-party sites to generate keys, only do it in the wallet app.
25 👍 and continue to deal with the topic of cryptocurrency hacks.
Save it for yourself and prompt a friend 😉
