- Centralized Companies must be avoided. Do not use exchanges or third party centralized wallets to store your Bitcoins.
- Core wallet is the best choice if you can setup it.
- Use privacy browsers like DuckDuckGo for browsing, Cheap browsers must be avoided. Like Chrome or Mozilla must be avoided as it always asks you to store your passwords and keys into the browser which can easily help hackers to access your all wallets and exchanges after a phishing attack. Do not store such type of private info into browsers. DuckDuckGo best one in my knowledge it doesn’t ask you anything and doesn’t store any info in the browser cache.
