@pcaversaccio: Infostealers are crypto's biggest problem, weak OS design enables
AI summary of the linked articlePcaversaccio argues that infostealers are probably the biggest problem facing the crypto ecosystem, based on a review of the last months' SEAL 911 tickets. He says weak OS design, including weak data compartmentalisation and permissive default trust models, is the major enabler, especially on macOS and Windows. He calls for prioritising security-first OS choices, such as QubesOS, over UX, while acknowledging that moving most users there is not realistic. |

There are malicious apps that can use OCR to scan images for seeds. Cold storage means no connection to the internet, period. Next to these great tips, I would like to add that your Farcaster wallet is essentially a hot wallet and should be treated as such. |
