Keeping Your Crypto Safe While Traveling or During Holidays

Keeping Your Crypto Safe While Traveling or During Holidays

Apologies for the short gap in our newsletter due to Chinese New Year.

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and prosperous CNY.

Holidays change routines, and routines protect wallets

Travel, family gatherings, and busy schedules are part of festive seasons.

They also create moments where people are distracted.

Many crypto losses happen during these periods, not because of new attacks, but because normal security habits slip.

Why holidays increase risk

During travel or celebrations, users often:

• Use unfamiliar Wi-Fi networks
• Click links more casually
• Approve transactions quickly
• Carry larger balances on mobile wallets
• Skip double checking details

Attackers know this.

They time phishing campaigns and fake links around holidays for a reason.

A real world scenario

A user travels overseas for a holiday.

They connect to hotel Wi-Fi and check their wallet.

A fake site opened from an old bookmark requests a routine approval.

Funds are drained while they are still in transit.

The loss could have been avoided with slower verification and better wallet separation.

Simple precautions that help

Before traveling or during busy periods:

• Avoid interacting with new protocols
• Do not click crypto links from messages or social media
• Use bookmarks for trusted sites
• Keep only small balances on mobile wallets
• Leave long term funds in cold storage

Small habits reduce large risks.

Where hardware wallets fit in

Hardware wallets are designed for long term storage.

They keep private keys offline and require physical confirmation.

This makes them ideal for safeguarding savings while you are distracted or away from your usual setup.

Unsure how to prepare your wallet setup

Some users travel often.

Others only move funds occasionally.

The right setup depends on your habits and risk exposure.

You can use our wallet selector to find a suitable hardware wallet based on how you actually use crypto.

Final thought

Let your wallet security stay boring and predictable.
