A compromised device can log everything you type into it, and mobile devices are the most common way to use Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
- Device password. Create a secure passphrase and use fingerprint login if possible. Avoid easy-to-guess pins and login patterns.
- Don't share your device. Don't get guilted by friends and family to share access and passwords to your devices, especially if you use those devices for your 2FA.
- Never give remote access. Some customer service teams will request remote access to your computer to help troubleshoot technical issues, but this is very dangerous and it is also the favorite technique of scammers. Always say 'No' to applications such as RemotePC, TeamViewer, and GoToMyPC. Wallex Support will never ask you to install remote access software!
- Avoid public devices. Only log in from your devices.
5. Avoid work devices for personal accounts. They can monitor and record your activity.
