Changpeng Zhao issues security advice amid hardware wallet thefts

—Zhao advises verifying the recipient address on the wallet screen before every transfer
—Seed phrases should not be photographed or stored in the cloud — only multiple copies in separate places
—For large sums, use a dedicated computer or phone with no extra apps and keep keys offline
—For exchanges: separate email, unique passwords, 2FA and a withdrawal address whitelist

Why it matters: The advice follows a wave of thefts from Ledger devices and a data leak at Tangem, adding pressure on trust in hardware wallets.
