NFT Security Basics, Part 1 of 2: General Cyber Security

I’ve split a previous article into two parts. This one is on general cyber security, the other on web3 / crypto wallet security. (It was simply too long as a single article.)

As I was collecting my thoughts for an article like this, I actually became overwhelmed quickly. There’s just so very, very much one could say about security best practices. Covering the topic in-depth would require an entire book — and the worst part of such a project would be that, immediately upon publication, there would no-doubt be some other new concern that emerged.

The sad fact is that security is a moving target; you’ve got to make a real effort to stay informed. The good news is that, usually, even the latest malicious trends seem to always be some new, novel, and/or clever version of something that has been done before. So, after a while, most users become pretty good at developing a sense of what’s good and what’s bad.

This article is meant as a companion to these other articles:
