Poker involves money movement across sites and exchanges. Security failures are usually habit failures. Here’s a compact system for protecting keys, devices, and sessions.
Wallet basics
- Use hardware wallets for storage; keep exchange hot wallets small
- Record seed phrases offline; never screenshot or cloud-sync
- Enable passphrases; treat them like a second factor
Device hygiene
- Keep OS/browser updated; remove unknown extensions
- Use unique, long passwords; prefer a reputable manager
- 2FA with authenticator apps; avoid SMS where possible
Phishing defense
- Type URLs directly; distrust urgent messages
- Verify sender domains; inspect link targets
- Never sign unknown transactions; confirm contract addresses
Network practices
- Prefer trusted connections; avoid public Wi-Fi for transactions
- Use a privacy-respecting DNS and a reputable VPN
- Segregate devices for poker vs. general browsing if possible
Bottom line
A few habits prevent most losses: control keys, harden devices, distrust unsolicited links, and treat exchanges as transit, not banks.
