as another potential exploit hits the TL, it's a good time to think seriously about your op(erational)sec(urity) having all your coins wif and wifout hat drained because of one mistake is pure, chest thumping, cold sweat inducing pain - so let's take steps to avoid it now, rather than ruminating on what we could have done after 1. always check the URL this is simple and important, check the url in your search bar is the one you expect, you can create a bookmark folder of all the web3 sites you visit and make sure the URL of the site you're on matches up with the bookmark this will not protect you if the site itself has been exploited, but some of the below tools can help that eventuality 2. use a 'smart wallet' @Rabby_io gives you tools and information to help protect your assets, it allows you to whitelist contracts that you use regularly and trust (like Uniswap/bridges/NFT marketplaces), so if the website throws you an unwhitelisted contract, you'll know to be careful and that it could well be malicious it also tells you how popular the contract is, and some details about the specific transaction you're signing 3. separate your assets don't keep your eggs in one basket, i recommend the T(hree)A(ddress)P(rotocol) popularised by @punk6529, it looks like this: T. minting wallet, no assets held - used for minting and other less trusted contracts A. transaction wallet, assets held that are actively used - only interacts with bluechip and trusted protocols P. vault, doesn't interact with protocols - assets are stored only but like flossing every day, reality often gets in the way, so if you can't stick to this, at least use a hardware wallet for your high value assets and split them up amongst different addresses, because even while using a hardware wallet you can still get drained if you sign a dodgy transaction 4. use a password manager the best money i spend every month is on @1Password. password managers in general are outragerously good value and outrageously underrated. you can use it to generate and save passwords for your wallets and applications, which means you can have unique passwords for everything it can also be used to hold seed phrases, i don't recommend this but it's miles better than saving them on unlocked Notes - the biggest risk to your seed phrase is losing it, so if you choose to store it physically, keep it in different physical locations and remember where they are for bonus points you can use Apple's 'Hide my email' feature, so you have a unique email as well as password for every application 5. use twitter best practices the two ways you can get hacked on twitter are clicking on a link from a fake account, or hacked account with both you have to be extremely cautious if something launches suddenly, like an nft mint or an airdrop, even from an account you follow for fake accounts, if you follow trusted people and projects, then you usually tell whether an account is fake or not by who follows it - be especially careful of fake posts under a real post, someone that followed @blknoiz06 got drained of $12 million last week because of this for hacked accounts, using our practices above like whitelisting trusted contracts and checking the URL against your memory/records will help keep you safe, also two of the tools below flag on twitter itself if an account is reportedly compromised 6. use web3 firewall extensions a. @DefiLlama's chrome extension as well as some cool wallet labelling and asset pricing features on etherscan, defillama flags when they think an account has been hacked on twitter by turning the post's background red, it can give some false positives but better safe than rekt b. @PocketUniverseZ pocket universe scans each transaction, show you what it means and gives you the green light if it's safe. it backs up its green light by insuring the transaction by up to $2000. it also hides flagged content on twitter c. @wallet_guard this is the closest of the three to a traditional firewall, as well as screening each transaction and breaking it down so it's easy to understand, wallet guard scans your wallet addresses for risky approvals and generates transactions to help you revoke them 7. get advice we're lucky that we have access to an ex-fed who's on our side in @beausecurity. beau will give you a written risk assessment and a personalised security plan on your current opsec practices, for holders it's free and for everyone else it costs less than the BAYC mint price (.05 eth). 8. turn off mobile 2fa simcards can be swapped, so a hacker receives your 2fa passcode instead of you. use a password manager like 1password to store your one-time-password codes. delete your phone number from twitter, you don't lose your verified status and as well as protecting you, it also ensures your account isn't used as part of a phishing scam. and that's it for this post. these are in no way definitive or the most secure way of doing things - people will tell you to only use TAP and to never click links from twitter at all - but this list is easy to implement and be consistent with. choose your opsec based on your individual risk profile and discipline. if you've got something of value from these practices, please retweet so it's amplified.
