Crypto Security & Scam Protection
Avoid phishing, fake support, seed phrase theft, malicious approvals, fake airdrops, P2P scams, and clipboard attacks.
You are ready to move funds and need a survival checklist before doing anything serious.
The number one rule
No real support agent, exchange, wallet, or MyCoinWay team member needs your seed phrase. If someone asks for it, it is a scam.
Security is not one tool. It is a habit: verify links, use bookmarks, test transfers, avoid panic, and separate hot funds from long-term storage.
- Never type your seed phrase into a website.
- Use a password manager and 2FA for exchanges.
- Bookmark official URLs instead of clicking ads.
- Keep trading funds and savings separate.
