๐บ The "Man-in-the-Middle" (MITM) Attack
Imagine the hacker literally placing themselves in the middle of your connection. Everything you type ยป passwords, private keys, or recovery phrases ยป passes through their device before reaching the network. They see everything in real time!
๐ฏ Evil Twin Networks
Criminals create networks with names identical to the location's (e.g., "Aeroporto_Free_WiFi"). Once connected, you hand over complete control of your data traffic to the attacker. Once logged into your exchange or wallet, your funds can vanish in seconds. ๐ธ๐จ
๐ ๏ธ 3 GOLDEN RULES TO PROTECT YOUR ASSET
AVOID PUBLIC WI-FI โฅฑ For crypto transactions, always use your mobile data (4G/5G). It's infinitely safer.
USE A VPN ALWAYS โฅฑ If no alternative, use a trusted VPN. It creates an encrypted "tunnel" that protects your data, even on open networks. ๐ก๏ธ
2FA AUTHENTICATION (NOT SMS) โฅฑ Use apps like Google Authenticator or physical keys (Yubikey). 2FA via SMS can also be intercepted on compromised networks!
