a16z proposes personal security recommendations for crypto assets, emphasizing that physical security is as important as digital asset protection

Odaily News a16z Crypto published an article about personal security of crypto assets, emphasizing that physical security is also crucial in protecting digital assets. The article points out that although many users focus on digital security measures, such as using hardware wallets and multi-signatures, ignoring physical security may lead to serious consequences. For example, attackers may obtain sensitive information through social engineering means, or directly threaten individuals to obtain private keys. Therefore, a16z recommends that users take comprehensive security measures, including but not limited to:
Avoid discussing the amount of crypto holdings in public.
Store your private keys and recovery phrases in a secure, decentralized location.
Update security policies regularly to protect against potential physical and digital threats.
