Best way to protect your Bitcoins wallet

[BitMaxz]

I have not heard so much about juice jacking, and i don't know if there have been actual victims of this malware. Nevertheless if you have your wallet in an offline device, you are not expected to carry it around all the time, or charge it often in a public place.

Juice jacking I think you can only find this in public places It's not a good idea to randomly charge your phone anywhere outside your home you better bring your own portable power bank than randomly charge it anywhere in public places.

And I don't think we would bring an offline wallet outside our home if you want to go outside you need to transfer a small amount to another device because bringing your offline wallet outside if all of your funds are saved on this wallet that is pretty risky. So I think much better to generate another wallet that you can bring outside your home and transfer only a small amount that you can afford to lose. So that it won't be hurt if it was stolen physically or victim by juice jacking.

Not just in public places but as well as private rooms via hotel rooms. You'll never know where you can be targeted and your safest place is only your home because you know what you are connecting to with your device. Oh, before I forgot be careful also where you order your cables. IIRC, I've seen a video that even in keyboards, there could be a potential juice jacking. That's why if it's about our wallets, we only use cables what's being provided by the hardware wallet we bought and never use random of it.

One should also be careful where they purchase their hardware wallets from. There have been cases were people bought hardwares from third party sources, that is platforms that connect sellers and buyers, this can come pre set with a wallet which the seller has access to, anything sent there will be stolen, or it can come with a malware that puts the user at risk.

Always buy from the offial website/store and check the device properly before using.

Some people will still buy the hardware wallets from the third party sources and they believe that once they get the hardware wallet they will reset it and won't you the same passphrases that came with the box-packed wallet. To their knowledge, there are cases where the wallet is hardware tempered, meaning that no matter how many times to software reset it, once you send your coins to the wallet, that 3rd party seller can still access and get hold of your coins.

So hardware wallet is the most secure way to store your cryptocurrencies but how to secure your hardware wallet, is a separate science
