For example, we have so many bank accounts, Crypto assets, exchange accounts and all needs passwords. So we have to keep that passwords safe as well as secure. And we cannot keep it in the offline because we need it online, and also we need to keep it much secure because to save yourself from the scam.
Similarly we also have to diversify our privacy too. For example, it's better to not keep most of the crypto in the exchange so that even if the scam happens you will not lose much. Similarly in the bank account too, it's better to not keep more than Rs 5 Lakh so that even if the bank goes down your Rs 5 Lakh will be insured. And this is the best way to keep yourself insured.
Along with that if something is too good to be true, then you should not pursue it because that can be a scam too. Like try not to click on suspicious links vecaudr that can be a scam. And we have so many scams happening every day. People usually try to on the internet and click on some weird links and get scammed.
Most of the people get scammed because they are lured for something and thus we should always refrain from free stuffs. A lot of people on Hive too get scammed after clicking phasing link and thus it should be avoided at any cost.
Scammed find ways to scam you. Like recently they start creating an dummy account on your name and thus ask money from your friend, and this is the newest scam we are witnessing. So we have to keep a secure password and try to use different password for different website. Keep the password in your laptop in some password manager along with in your external hard disk. And last but not the least be vigilant because your privacy is in your hand.
