Crypto is a new technology that allows users to transfer information over the internet without necessarily relying on a central authority. This technology is growing rapidly, with billions of dollars being transferred every month. However, this growth has come with a risk- everything from wallets to funds can be lost if not securely handled. A malicious hacker can corrupt your data and drain your funds if he's lucky enough to gain access to your virtual wallet. This is why it's important to know how to protect your crypto from hackers.

Physical wallets are the best way to keep your crypto safe from hackers. Most wallets are physical devices that you carry around yourself. This makes it difficult for hackers to access your data since they'll need physical access to your data as well. Plus, keeping your crypto in a physical wallet reduces the risk of losing your crypto via theft or destruction by calamity. You can also write down the public address of your wallet so others can send you money if you're overseas or unable to carry your wallet.

It's also important to make your secure wallet easy for you to remember. Most secure wallets use a combination of letters and numbers as passwords. This makes it easy for you to remember a secure password without writing it down. It's also a good idea to change your password regularly so nobody knows what it is. Password management tools help with this; they allow you- and only you- access to a specific password whenever you need it.

Last but not least, hackers know that when their targets lose access to their wallets, their crypto vanishes forever. Therefore, users should change their passwords frequently in order to stay safe from hacker raids. Daily changes are best so that nobody can predict when your old password will be revealed and new accounts opened using that old password. There's also nothing wrong with changing passwords temporarily if you get hacked or suspect someone has hacked your account.

Keeping your crypto safe is as easy as carrying around a physical wallet and remembering a secure password, although difficult-handedness-new technology- and malicious hackers make it difficult for anyone but the most experienced users to do so consistently. However, these steps can help anyone to safe guard themselves from losing their hard-earned crypto.
