Odaily News a16z Crypto published an article about personal security of crypto assets, emphasizing that physical security is also crucial in protecting digital assets. The article points out that although many users focus on digital security measures, such as using hardware wallets and multi-signatures, ignoring physical security may lead to serious consequences.
