WHY IT MATTERS
When someone sends cryptocurrency, the transaction cannot be reversed like a credit card charge can be. This makes crypto users attractive targets for hackers.

A security expert warning that these attacks are growing rapidly is a reminder that anyone holding or using cryptocurrency needs to understand basic security practices, such as protecting private keys and being cautious about scams. Private keys are essentially the passwords that control access to your crypto — if someone else gets them, they can take your funds permanently.
