In this episode, hosts Tracey, Craig and Blake discuss scams, hacks and other security issues facing the crypto industry. These days, most crypto companies like Bamboo use institutional-grade custody providers like Fireblocks. Custody providers hold a large amount of cryptocurrency in safe storage so that, in the event of a theft, crypto companies can reimburse their customers.

We finish off by discussing other important security measures that all crypto users should practice. These include: using a safe password storage app like LastPass, ensuring you always have 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, and checking the URL of crypto websites to avoid getting caught out by spoofs.
