I use a crypto hardware wallet.
Now that's not to say I've got an substantial money in there but I do love to dabble in new technologies.
I use Ledger as my hardware wallet of choice but really any of them would work just as well.
I genuinely enjoy the pairing of their software solution with their hardware wallet. They also have mobile apps so that you can on the go recieve, and send cryptos.
For the last 3 or 4 weeks I have been getting 1 or 2 emails a day to the email address I used to purchase the hardware wallet attempting to scam me. Essentially super poor phishing emails. No real attempt at trying to look like a authentic email.
Having said all that, the only place I have used that email address is of course to purchase that wallet. So Ledger somewhere have either been compromised or sold my details. I assume a marketing server somewhere was compromised. It's unfortunate really though anyone who pays an iota of attention should realise the danger. It looks to a Google Doc so that should raise some alarm bells to even the most distracted person.
Till next time,
