Stay Safe
Online safety is compromised less by system hacks and more by rushing, flattering or frightening you into clicking, installing or sending.
This pattern appears in deceptive emails, texts and calls aimed at users of everyday services, including secure banking apps and digital wallets.
These pages explain that pattern, show examples you may already be seeing, and give you a short pause before you act.

How to Report a Scam.
How Scams Work
The same four-step pattern sits behind most tricks: a lure, a trap, an action, and a loss.

Habits that protect you day to day
You don't need to be a technical expert. A few consistent habits around access, storage and unexpected messages will stop most of the harm.
1. Protect how you get into accounts
-
Your security depends on keeping login details and recovery information private.
-
Treat a wallet recovery phrase as a physical key. The 12- or 24-word seed phrase can control a whole wallet. Never type it into a website, pop-up, email or chat. Do not photograph it or save it in cloud storage. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe from fire, water and other people.
-
Upgrade ordinary account protection too. A reused password, or a code sent by text, is easier to abuse than most people think. Use a strong, different password for email and important accounts, and add an authenticator app or a security key where you can.
2. Do not keep everything in one place
-
If you use digital assets, do not keep long-term savings in the same wallet you use to try new sites.Keep larger holdings in a hardware wallet that stays offline. Buy the device only from the official manufacturer. Check the address on the device screen before you confirm a transfer.
-
Keep only small amounts in a phone or browser wallet for everyday use. For a new app, a reward claim or an unfamiliar site, use a separate low-value wallet so a mistake cannot reach everything you hold.
3. Check before you click, send or approve
-
Most losses happen when someone is rushed into a link, a download or a payment.
-
Do not find a bank, wallet or exchange through a search ad. Bookmark the official site and use that. Check the full web address.
-
Before you send a large amount, send a small test first and confirm it arrived. Be careful what you connect a wallet to.
-
From time to time, review old approvals and remove access you no longer need using a site like revoke.cash.
-
If an urgent warning or offer arrives by email, text or QR code, do not use that path. Close it. Open the official app yourself and look at the account there.
-
When something feels urgent, pause. That feeling is the signal to check, not to hurry.
