Many people encounter phishing and scams at the end of the year, which is not worth the loss. Here's a suggestion for everyone—regularly change your wallet, which is the simplest protective measure. What does regular change mean? It means migrating assets to a new wallet after a period of time, and not letting the same address stay dormant on the chain for too long. More importantly, don't keep all your funds in one wallet. Large assets should be stored in cold wallets or spread across multiple addresses, and only keep the necessary amount in hot wallets for daily transactions. Scams are particularly rampant, especially as the end of the year approaches and various schemes emerge. A little more caution can reduce the risk.

Really, I was targeted last year because I didn't regularly change wallets. Now I've turned over a new leaf, keeping my cold wallet stored securely and only keeping a little pocket money in my hot wallet.

Regularly changing wallets sounds troublesome, but thinking about those who got hacked makes it worth it. I also keep my cold wallets dispersed and only keep trading limits in my hot wallet, so I can sleep peacefully.

This move is really clever. I used to be too lazy to switch wallets, which almost got me scammed. Now, regularly migrating assets has become a habit.

Regularly changing wallets? I think the most important thing is not to click on random links...

Haha, I've been doing that for a long time. Cold wallets are the way to go.
