If you've previously installed any browser-based wallet extension, take immediate action to protect your assets. First, disconnect your device from the internet before conducting any investigation or performing transactions—this creates a critical buffer against potential threats. Next, export your private key and recovery phrase immediately and store them in a secure offline location. Finally, uninstall the extension entirely to eliminate any residual risk vectors.
These steps form the foundation of incident response when security concerns arise with your wallet infrastructure.
