When it comes to wallet security, many people think that buying a hardware wallet solves everything. Wrong, a Cold Wallet is not a safe deposit box; the key is how you use it.

The most vulnerable aspect of a hot wallet is actually not sophisticated hacker attacks. It's that you have a bunch of random apps installed on your phone, casually clicking on unknown links, and cloud backup is still enabled by default—your mnemonic phrase is directly synchronized to the cloud. What's even more absurd is that some people directly screenshot and save their mnemonic phrase; once the phone connects to the internet, this screenshot is automatically backed up to the cloud, which is equivalent to a public execution.

Hardware wallets may seem stable, but there are plenty of pitfalls. Some "second-hand goods" or "customized versions" on the market have recovery phrases that were written in advance by someone else. You think you're using a cold wallet, but in reality, you don't have control over the wallet at all. There's also a fatal mistake: many people input their recovery phrases into their computers or phones for convenience. At that moment, your cold wallet is no longer cold. Additionally, when transferring funds, people often only look at the address on the computer screen and do not confirm it on the hardware device's screen. If the computer is infected with malware and the address is secretly changed, you won't even know where the money has gone.

These vulnerabilities, to put it simply, are not technical issues, but rather habits. If it can be operated offline, don't connect to the internet; if it can be verified visually, don't take shortcuts.

The rules of the game in the crypto world are simple: the house watches the chip distribution, while hackers observe user habits. If you develop good habits, they won't even find the opportunity to act.
