No matter how rich you become in the crypto industry, maintaining silence is the ultimate way to avoid such risks.

If at all, you’ve encountered such situations, you can either escape using all possible ways you could, or you can always have two different or multiple accounts wherein one account with some amount of BTC/tokens can be used to conciliate attackers.
