Here's how he could have simply avoided this 👇 1️⃣ Hardware wallet MetaMask itself is actually as safe as any other hot wallet. They don't store your keys but YOU DO. And yet... It's still no hardware wallet. Even when you connect yourself to a scammy website, your hardware wallet will still protect you and only approve another transaction if pressed by physical buttons. The good part? You can still use metamask or Rabby or... as an interface gateway when you connect your hardware wallet (if you truly want to). Strong recommendations are: @Ledger @KeystoneWallet 2️⃣ Permission revoker. When using dapps like Uniswap or OpenSea you have to grant them permission to spend your tokens and NFTs. This is called a token approval. If you don't revoke these approvals, the dapp can spend your tokens forever. @RevokeCash is a tool that revokes these permissions. 3️⃣ Contract scanner. I'm not a code expert. It's highly likely you are not either. Use @DeDotFi their contract scanner tool to get a quick rundown when you look up new investments or tokens. Dubious contract bugs or permissions can be seen here. 4️⃣ Common sense It's likely here where Mark Cuban went wrong. • Bookmark your exchanges • Double check every transaction • Don't buy 1-day old tokens • Don't use the same password for everything • Use 2FA You would be surprised how many people do not use any form of additional protection. Some even store down their seed phrases on their pc. Seems harmless at first untill you get hacked. Even when you are hacked, when you have a hardware wallet and there's no seed phrase written down, they can't get your hands on it. Mark Cuban was likely careless somewhere here (to much money I guess). 5️⃣ Web3 antivirus What if you still end up making a mistake? It's here where you always get a safety net. It's not bullet proof (nothing is) but the good folks or @interlockweb3 have made a Web3 antivirus (chrome extention) that gives you another layer of protection when you interact or approve web3 stuff. Common sense will do a lot but having that "just in case" antivirus running for that 1% human error will do a lot. ----------------------------- That's it ✅ I know I made a similar post a while ago but I wanted to emphasize the importance again since even billionaires can make mistakes as you can see. So can we all if you are not careful. Nova out 💙 ----------------------------- * 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. If you like these posts consider giving me a follow @CryptoGirlNova.
