For the first time, I’m becoming increasingly concerned when it comes to the best way to ensure the security of my crypto.

It used to be as simple as using a cold storage device or employing best practices when interacting online, and so long as you didn’t click on a malicious link or leak your private key you were probably fine.

With so many of the recent exploits and vulnerabilities appearing as of late being fully out of a users control, it no longer feels like the historical methods of fund security are sufficient.

If you want to truly protect your funds these days, you are essentially limited to holding your funds in a multi-sig wallet, controlled by a 2/3 or 3/5 signer with multiple cold storage wallets which are not connected to one another acting as signers.

For some, this may already be the standard practice, but for the majority, including the masses yet to be on-boarded into crypto, this is a huge barrier to entry and each incident that happens further reinforces a lot of the negative connotations that come with the industry and impact adoption.

The rapid evolution of AI has made it easier than ever for bad actors to brute force and attack companies and individuals, and as we have seen in the last 24h alone, even the biggest players in the space are not immune from vulnerabilities and exploits.

One of the most interesting things I see come out of each of these incidents is the immediate response from issuers and providers that often go directly against the ethos of blockchain.

The Binance hack saw ~6b in funds taken, but almost half was frozen by Circle and Tether within hours. During other incidents, we have seen entire blockchains frozen or rolled back entirely just to prevent funds which were stolen from being used.

I believe, whether for better or worse, that a degree of centralization will always need to exist in blockchain in order for any meaningful adoption to occur- but that is a conversation for another day.

For now, users need to decide what the best way is to take care of their funds and what risks they are willing to take.

All I know for sure is that it’s likely to get worse before it gets better, so take the time to protect yourself now so you don’t regret it later.
