Securing cryptocurrencies

It has been a busy few months in the cryptocurrency hacking world. In the last six months we have seen a variety of hacks and scams, major and minor, hit the crypto world. The largest was a recent hack of the Poly Network, which saw US$600 million stolen using a protocol exploit. Then there are the many scams, from hacked YouTube videos to fake coin offerings where the coin/token creator just runs off with the money people invested.

If you run your own wallet, there’s also the danger of your PC being compromised by malware. A ransomware hack or data loss can leave you unable to access your wallet
