Due to the increasing cybersecurity threats targeting cryptocurrency users, leading hardware wallet provider OneKey has issued an important security recommendation: ordinary investors should use dedicated devices for their cryptocurrency activities.
According to OneKey, this approach significantly minimizes risks by isolating crypto transactions from everyday device usage.
Everyday devices like smartphones and personal laptops are vulnerable to cyberattacks because they are used for a multitude of activities that expose them to malware, such as downloading files, clicking on links, and opening PDFs. Hackers are exploiting these vulnerabilities, as seen in the $50 million Radiant Capital attack, where attackers used fake PDF malware to steal money.
“A dedicated device is like putting your crypto in a safe instead of a drawer,” OneKey said. By using a device solely for cryptocurrency purposes, users can create a clean, focused, and secure environment away from the distractions and risks of general-purpose devices.
According to OneKey's statement, the benefits of special devices can be listed as follows:
<ul>
 <li>Reduced Risk: Dedicated devices eliminate the installation of irrelevant software, significantly reducing the possibility of backdoor malware attacks.</li>
 <li>No Distraction: Streamline operations by only installing crypto tools, wallets, and exchange platforms.</li>
 <li>Enhanced Monitoring: Unusual activity is easier to detect on a device with minimal apps.</li>
</ul>

OneKey outlined a simple approach to creating a secure environment for cryptocurrency management:
<ul>
 <li>Start Fresh: Use a new or unused laptop or tablet. Perform a clean install of an operating system like macOS or Linux.</li>
 <li>No Extras: Restrict the device to crypto-related software only; no email, games, or random apps.</li>
 <li>Use a Hardware Wallet: Pair the device with a hardware wallet like Ledger or OneKey to keep private keys offline.</li>
 <li>Private Browser: Use a secure browser, especially for accessing decentralized applications (dApps) or exchanges. Add security extensions to block phishing sites.</li>
 <li>Private Network: Always connect to secure, private Wi-Fi. Avoid public networks and use open source VPN tools like Clash or SSR.</li>
 <li>*This is not investment advice.</li>
</ul>
