Wallet Security Precautions

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.

They keep asking us to store private keys offline every day. Who can guarantee that offline storage is also safe?

Disconnecting from the internet to export private keys and uninstalling the wallet—this combo is really tough. Just worried that some people are still holding onto seed phrases on their phones.
