Hello, I am new to the world of cryptocurrencies and have a basic question. If someone knows my wallet address, can they steal my crypto? I've heard stories about people's crypto being drained suddenly, and I'm worried about the safety of my assets. What measures can I take to ensure the security of my crypto?

It's similar to having someone's bank account number. Just knowing the number doesn't give them access to your funds.

When using BTCC or any other crypto wallet, it's essential to practice good security habits, such as not sharing your private key with anyone and being careful when opening links or attachments from unknown sources.

However, if someone gains access to your private key or password, they can indeed access and transfer your cryptocurrencies.
