✅ Crypto platforms pay maximum attention to securing users' data and funds. But it is equally important for users themselves to adhere to the main rules of crypto-security to avoid becoming a victim of scammers. 

1️⃣ Create a strong password. It is important that the password is complex and unique, consisting of different symbols, numbers, and letters in upper and lower case. Never use the same password for different sites.

2️⃣ Enable two-factor authentication. An extra layer of protection to increase the security level of your account. 2FA can be implemented using SMS, email, or the Google Authenticator app.

3️⃣ Do not share passwords and private keys. Never share passwords and private keys with third parties.

4️⃣ Use secure devices and networks. Make sure you're using a secure computer and secure network to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

5️⃣ Check IP addresses and active sessions. Monitor the IP addresses that are accessing your account. On S-Trade Exchange, you can go into your settings at any time and see the sessions with IP addresses that have access to your account. 

📧 If you notice suspicious activity, delete that session and notify S-Trade support at **support@s-trade.com** or create a ticket in the [Support Center](https://s-trade.com/login) section.
