**Double-Check URLs**: Always make sure you’re visiting the official website. Phishers often create fake sites that look almost identical. A quick glance at the URL can save you a lot of trouble.

**Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**: Use 2FA on all your accounts. This adds an extra layer of security, so even if someone gets your password, they can’t just log in.

**Be Wary of Unsolicited Messages**: If you get a random email or message asking for your private keys or personal info, don’t engage. Legitimate companies won’t ask for that kind of info through email.

**Use a Hardware Wallet**: If you’re holding a significant amount of crypto, consider using a hardware wallet. It keeps your assets offline and away from potential online threats.

**Check for HTTPS**: When accessing crypto sites, look for "HTTPS" in the URL. The "S" means the site is secure. If it’s just "HTTP," think twice before entering any sensitive information.
