Phishing is still the #1 way scammers steal crypto. Fake Binance or wallet sites are designed to look almost identical to real ones.
Always check the URL carefully. Scammers often use look-alike domains, such as replacing letters or using .net instead of .com. One small difference can cost everything.
Never click links from random DMs, emails, or SMS. Legit platforms will never ask for passwords, private keys, or recovery phrases.
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app, and consider a hardware wallet. Even if a link is fake, these protections can stop attackers.
Bookmark official websites and use only those bookmarks. This avoids fake ads and cloned sites in search results.
A few seconds of checking can protect your entire portfolio.
