Fraud Prevention, Hacking Risks and Security Measures
Protecting Your Digital Assets: A Guide to Wallet Security
Ensuring the security of our users’ wallets and digital assets is of utmost importance to us and remains our highest priority. This guide outlines essential fraud prevention and security measures to help protect users’ digital assets. Our security approach aligns with EU MiCA Consumer Protection regulations and other global standards, providing proactive steps to prevent wallet hacks and clear response procedures in the event of a security breach.
Proactive Fraud Prevention Measures
To minimize the risk of unauthorized access, fraud, or hacking, follow these best practices:
Use Strong and Unique Passwords
Create a complex password that is difficult to guess.
Avoid using easily identifiable information such as birthdays or common words.
Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords securely.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Activate 2FA on your wallet and all associated accounts to add an extra layer of security.
Use authentication apps (e.g., Google Authenticator) instead of SMS-based 2FA for enhanced protection.
Secure Your Network
Avoid accessing your wallet on public Wi-Fi networks, as they can be easily compromised.
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) when managing crypto transactions to enhance privacy and security.
Beware of Phishing Attacks
Never share your private keys, seed phrases, or login credentials— AITECH will never request this information.
Be cautious of emails, messages, or fake websites impersonating AITECH’s official channel platforms.
Always verify URLs before entering your wallet credentials.
Fraud Prevention, Hacking Risks and Security Measures
Keep Software & Devices Updated
Regularly update your wallet software, operating system, and antivirus software to protect against security vulnerabilities.
Enable automatic updates where possible to ensure timely security patches.
Utilize Cold Storage for Added Security
Store a portion of your digital assets in cold storage (hardware wallets) to protect against online hacking attempts.
Ensure your recovery phrase is securely stored offline and never shared digitally.
Incident Response: Pre- and Post-Hack Procedures
If you suspect unauthorized access or experience a security breach, follow these steps:
Pre-Hack: Preventative Monitoring
Account Monitoring & Suspicious Activity Detection
Regularly review your wallet transactions for any unauthorized activity.
Enable security alerts and notificationsto be immediately informed of any unusual access.
Immediate Action Steps to Mitigate Risk
If you notice any suspicious activity, immediately disconnect from the internet and log out of all wallet sessions.
Change your wallet password and 2FA settings if you suspect an attempted breach.
Post-Hack: Security Breach Response
Change Your Wallet Address
If your wallet has been compromised, it is recommended to transfer assets to a new secure wallet immediately.
Use a different, secure device when setting up your new wallet to prevent further risk.
Staking & Fund Transfer Security
If your staked funds are at risk, a secure verification process may be required before transferring them to a new wallet.
