A16Z: Physical security is equally important in digital asset protection

A16z Crypto publishes Personal Security Article on Crypto Assets, emphasizing that physical security is equally critical in the protection of digital assets. The article points out that while many users focus on digital security measures, such as using hardware wallets and multi-signatures, neglecting physical security can lead to serious consequences. For example, attackers may obtain sensitive information through social engineering or directly threaten individuals to obtain private keys. Therefore, a16z recommends that users take comprehensive security measures, including but not limited to:
Avoid discussing the amount of cryptoassets held in public.
Store private keys and mnemonics in a secure, decentralized location.
Regularly update security policies to safeguard against potential physical and digital threats.
A16z emphasizes that as the value of crypto assets increases, users must prioritize both physical and digital security to fully protect their assets.
