  Another red flag is if you suddenly find that your account balance has significantly decreased without any explanation. This could indicate that someone has gained unauthorized access to your account and is siphoning off your funds.

  One potential warning sign is if you receive emails or messages claiming to be from your crypto exchange asking for your login credentials or personal information. Legitimate exchanges will never ask for this information through email or direct messages.
