  In addition, if you receive any suspicious emails or messages claiming to be from your wallet provider, be cautious. Hackers often use phishing techniques to trick users into revealing their wallet credentials. Always verify the authenticity of such communications before taking any action.

  One more sign to watch out for is if you find any unfamiliar or unrecognized addresses in your transaction history. This could indicate that someone else has gained access to your wallet and is using it for their own transactions.
