a16z: Physical security is equally important in the protection of digital assets
ChainCatcher news, a16z Crypto released an article on personal security for crypto assets, emphasizing that physical security is equally crucial in the protection of digital assets. The article points out that while many users focus on digital security measures, such as using hardware wallets and multi-signature, neglecting physical security can lead to severe consequences. For example, attackers may obtain sensitive information through social engineering or directly threaten individuals to gain access to private keys. Therefore, a16z recommends that users adopt a comprehensive security approach, including but not limited to:
- Avoid discussing the amount of crypto assets held in public.
- Store private keys and recovery phrases in secure, decentralized locations.
- Regularly update security policies to guard against potential physical and digital threats.
a16z emphasizes that as the value of crypto assets increases, users must pay equal attention to both physical and digital security to comprehensively protect their assets.
