Real Case: How We Recovered $20,000

In 2023, a hacker stole $30,000 in crypto from one crypto user. The hacker tried to sneak some of the stolen funds through ChangeNOW, but our team noticed something was off and froze the transaction.

Despite reporting the theft to authorities, the user was stuck in a slow and frustrating process. Months passed, and hope faded, but we didn’t give up. We kept digging and eventually recovered $20,000, which we happily returned to the user. Imagine their relief!

This case shows our dedication to protecting our users. At ChangeNOW, we’re always on your side, ensuring your funds are as safe as possible.

How to Keep Your Crypto Safe

While we’ve got your back, it’s always smart to take your own precautions. Here’s how:

  • Enable 2FA: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.
  • Use Strong Passwords: Make sure your passwords are unique and complex.
  • Beware of Phishing: Always verify website URLs and avoid sharing personal info with unsolicited messages.
  • Protect Your Private Keys: Never share your private keys — if someone else gets them, they can access your funds.
  • Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check for any suspicious activity.
  • Be Wary of Public Wi-Fi: Avoid using public Wi-Fi to access your crypto accounts, as it’s easier for hackers to steal your data.
