Your Mobile Network Might Be Putting Your Assets at Risk



Google just issued a security alert that's worth taking seriously if you're managing crypto on the go. The tech giant is warning users to stay vigilant about the networks they're connecting to on their phones.

Why does this matter? Insecure mobile networks can expose your wallet address, transactions, and sensitive data to potential attacks. Public WiFi, unverified cellular networks, or compromised hotspots are prime targets for bad actors looking to intercept your communications.

If you're actively trading or checking your portfolio, here's the real talk: use trusted networks only. Consider a VPN for extra protection, avoid doing sensitive transactions over untrusted connections, and keep your authentication layers strong.

The takeaway? In the crypto space, security starts with the basics. Don't let a careless network connection become the weakest link in your defense.

ngl Public internet has always been a common topic, but there are still people who start buying coins just using the public WiFi at Starbucks... I'm speechless.

Damn, public networks really can't be trusted. Last time I was at Starbucks, I almost had my wallet stolen on their WiFi. Now I only use VPN + hotspot, it's a hassle but at least I'm safe.

Haha, another cybersecurity trick. We really need to be more cautious about public Wi-Fi.

Public network transactions involve actively sending addresses to hackers. I've seen this trick too many times; it can be checked on the data chain.

ngl Public internet trading operations are really playing with fire. My friend lost some assets just because of Starbucks WiFi. Now he only sleeps soundly using VPN + cold wallet.

Once again, this old chestnut... but those who are really involved in public network fake orders should definitely take a look.
