Security problem with Cryptocurrency

Nowadays all the platforms that work with the blockchain are very secure since each one has different security systems to protect the assets of the clients, therefore most of the scams, theft or inconvenience is by part of the user, since this is the one who has total control over their wallet, so we must be very careful when we handle our wallet on a computer, for me we must pay great attention when we download any file without first not knowing its origin, I invite you to install a good antivirus and a good security system to avoid these inconveniences since there are computer criminals trying to steal your information through malware or encrypted viruses that are often undetectable, we must pay attention when we have children at home and they play online and they do not know that it is a computer virus, we must protect the unique data of our wallet well in u A safe place because if our assets fall into the wrong hands they are at risk.

ICOs or Starter Coins

They are decentralized currencies that want to enter the blockchain market, a couple of years ago this form of scam was fashionable, because due to the great scandal about the value of bitcoin, many cybercriminals, many of these ico offer customers much to attract attention and investment, and when the client invests, they simply knock down the domain. But many current cryptocurrencies have been born from this modality, if we do not know which ico is the correct one, we only have to be very careful in which to invest because you can earn a lot of money, but you can also lose everything.

Phishing

This type of scam is very common when we have all our personal data, seed phrases, passwords and other personal documents stored on our computer, if it is damaged, or becomes infected by a virus, someone else may have access with ease into your wallet and steal all your assets.

Error in the address for sending assets from one user to another.

When we speak of an error when sending an address, we speak of an error by the client himself, since he is not attentive in placing the shipping address correctly and ends up sending the money to a stranger, if this happens, you will lose the money sent because there is no one to claim or the option of a return.

Before entering all this cryptographic world we must take many precautions because this is how safe our wallet will be.

Thanks for the topic.
