Day 75 #Web3Security⚡️ Is your seed phrase stored on paper? 🤔 Paper can be destroyed by fire, water, or just fade! For long-term security, upgrade your backup to steel. 🔥💧 Metal plates from @CRYPTO_TAG or @Billfodl_wallet protect your master key from physical damage. BM🔩

Day 74 #Web3Security ⚡️ Lesson from Nobitex exchange hack (~$90M lost!): Not your keys, not your crypto! 🔑 The exchange's hot wallets were drained due to a private key compromise. Reminder: Exchanges are for trading, not storage. Secure your main stash in self-custody! BM 🏦

Day 73 #Web3Security ⚡️ What if you could recover your wallet without a seed phrase? 🤔 Smart Contract Wallets (like @argent & @safe) allow this via Social Recovery! You designate guardians (friends, other wallets) who can help restore access if you lose your key. BM 🤝🏾

Day 72 #Web3Security⚡️ Tired of the "single point of failure" seed phrase?🤔 Enter MPC Wallets! They split your key into "shares" stored in different places The full key never exists in one spot. A lost device or hacked server isn't enough to lose funds! Check out @ZenGo BM🔐

Day 71 #Web3Security ⚡️ A multisig is only as strong as its signers! This is Operational Security (OpSec). The Bybit hack showed that if signers are tricked, funds are lost. Each signer MUST use a hardware wallet & independently verify every transaction. No exceptions! BM👨🏾‍💻

Day 70 #Web3Security ⚡️ How do teams (or you!) secure large funds? With a Multisig Wallet! It requires multiple signatures (e.g., 2-of-3) to approve a transaction. No single point of failure! One compromised key isn't enough to drain funds. The standard tool for this is @safe. BM 🔐

Day 69 #Web3Security ⚡️ Lesson from KiloEx hack (~$7.5M lost!): Oracle Manipulation is a major DeFi threat. The attacker tricked the protocol with false price data to drain funds. Shows why robust, manipulation-resistant oracles (like @chainlink) are NOT optional! BM ⛓️

Day 68 #Web3Security ⚡️ Buying a hardware wallet? Where you buy it MATTERS! Buy DIRECT from the manufacturer (@Ledger, @Trezor). Avoid resellers. Check for tamper-evident seals on the packaging. Generate your OWN seed phrase. NEVER use a pre-seeded one! GM 🛒

Day 65 #Web3Security ⚡️ Lesson from this week's CoinMarketCap hack: Beware Supply Chain Attacks! ⛓️ Hackers didn't breach CMC directly, but a third-party tool they used. This injected a script creating a fake wallet pop-up. Be vigilant, even on trusted sites! BM 🚨

Day 66 #Web3Security⚡️ Adopt a "Security-First" mindset!🧠 Instead of only thinking about gains, think about how to protect those gains first. Security isn't a one-time setup; it's a daily habit. Be proactive, not reactive! What's one security habit you practice daily?👇 BM🛡️
