I have always believed that there are various ways you could protect yourself from online fraud. First of all, try to check the domain name again and again before entering any kind of sensitive information online. This is because there are various kinds of phishing sites that look like original website. When you enter information on such sites, you expose your confidential information and your account might get hacked. Secondly, it is always necessary to activate the two-factor authentication in order to keep your online information more secure. I have used several cryptocurrency exchanges and what I like about them is the fact that they use various methods to make sure your account remains safe. A few exchanges even send SMS verification and email verification to make sure that the authorized person is trying to access the account. It is always better to remain safe than sorry, as they say!

Please we really have to take all these things very serious because there are so many hackers available and they are also looking for the best and the most possible way to hack your Gmail and other important information about you..

My only advice to people is that if you are a cryptocurrency investor and you have an email that is linked to your crypto wallet you should not expose the email unnecessarily on other sites but it should be mainly for crypto stuff , because exposing the email to a lot of online communities that are filled with thousands of people may be risky since you don't really know the most trusted people among these thousands of people

And another thing is that I do not click unnecessary Link on my email or unknown link that is sent to me by someone I don't know on WhatsApp or Facebook because all these things are way scammers have been using to scam people and hack into a person's wallet..

Most importantly your cryptocurrency wallet and trusted crypto exchanges and other online account of yours may have strong security system such as the two factors verification , this should always be unable as it will help prevent your account from being hack.
