Dear readers, in recent days I have seen how some colleagues have been victims of hackers who have stolen all the capital they had in the matemask wallets, this undoubtedly puts me alert considering that I am a user of this wallet and although I do not have all my capital there, I try to keep certain amounts in BNB and other cryptos since, I participate in some nft games that merit the use of this type of wallet. For the above mentioned, in the present publication I will share with you some tips that will guarantee us some security of our funds in the metamask wallet.
Let's start!
First of all, I think that when we are not using the metamask wallet the ideal is to keep it locked, this operation can be done manually or otherwise we can synchronize the lock by entering the advanced settings in the advanced section we locate the section that indicates automatic lock timer that is reflected in minutes, there you can choose the number of minutes you want to elapse for your wallet to be blocked while you are not using it. I find this operation very useful, because generally when we use metamask we often forget to lock it and anyone could enter your browser and get important information from your wallet.
On the other hand, I recommend opening several accounts within the metamask, and if you find yourself logging a crypto asset you can keep it in another address and not in the one we are generally using to buy tokens or any operation related to nft games, remember that when we make a link with any platform this is synchronized with the metamask address, this does not guarantee that it can be violated, but I think it can be a method that protects at least the address of the crypto asset that you consider valuable.
In the same way I consider valuable to review the section of the wallet where it indicates the sites to which we have connected, there will be reflected all the synchronizations that your wallet has had with the different projects in which it has entered, in case of observing some site that you have time without using, make the disconnection with it, since, if this site becomes a victim of some cybernetic attack your wallet could be compromised.
It is also important to avoid connecting to any public wifi network, I have already heard many cases of people who opened their wallet in public places and compromised the security of the wallet, likewise I recommend disconnecting your computer from the wifi network when it is not being used. The more preventive security methods we use the better.
Another aspect to consider, is to avoid making connection with fake pages that is very common, when you want to make the purchase of a token verify that the link on the page is correct, otherwise you would lose the money you used for the purchase and see compromised the security of your wallet, generally what I do and enter coinmarkecat I locate the crypto of my preference and there tells you which markets you can buy it, when you click on the market of your choice will automatically send you to the official website.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep updated the antivirus of our computer to avoid that through any malicious virus can get hold of our information, so it is advisable that the seed keys of our metamask is protected in a physical way written on paper and not on the computer.
Dear readers, these are some tips that I am sure you will find on the web, therefore, I wanted to point out some aspects that I consider important and preventive, when it comes to security sometimes we must be exaggerated and implement the necessary measures, therefore, any recommendations you have for me will be of great value and you can leave them reflected in the comments.
Thank you for sticking with me to the end, I hope the information is useful.
