Secure Your Crypto Holdings After a Compromise

    Eliminate the original attack path before holding meaningful funds again.

    What to do

      • Move long-term holdings to a hardware wallet (Ledger / Trezor) on a fresh seed
      • Use a passphrase ('25th word') for serious balances
      • Store the seed offline only — never in a password manager, photo, or cloud note
      • Use a separate 'hot' wallet with small balances for daily DeFi or trading
      • Enable hardware-key 2FA (YubiKey) on the exchange and the email tied to it
