How to reduce the risk of phishing attacks when working with cryptocurrencies?

[MESIgoal]

Recently, I received an email claiming that my cryptocurrency wallet had been hacked and I urgently needed to click on a link to verify my identity. It looked very suspicious, and fortunately, I didn't do anything, but it made me think - these things are not always easy to recognize. How can you reduce the risk of becoming a victim of phishing when working with cryptocurrencies? And is it true that these attacks are becoming more sophisticated and convincing? What protection methods really work?

Such cases, unfortunately, are really frequent nowadays. And phishing attacks are indeed becoming more and more sophisticated. I recently came across an article on this topic, maybe you will find it useful: https://theceoviews.com/security-in-crypto-banking/ . It describes how crypto banks are beefing up their security measures and has some useful tips on how to protect yourself. I myself try to use two-factor authentication on all services where possible, and if possible, I check links and sender addresses through third-party services. Of course, it doesn't give 100% protection, but at least it helps to filter out blatantly fake emails.

Interesting topic, and it's really important to be careful, especially with cryptocurrencies that are so popular right now. I heard that even regular users can become a target if they accidentally click on a suspicious link at least once. It would be good if more people were aware of these threats and protection measures.
