That's a good campaign from Vanneck here

[Vanneck Capital @VanneckPartner]

A hardware wallet protects your keys. It does not protect the laptop you sign from.

That laptop is where malware, a fake extension or a hijacked session can do the damage.

We are giving a selected group in our network 12 months of Sophos endpoint protection:

- EDR and MDR monitoring
- Compensation for losses of up to $1M, under Sophos's terms
- No payment and no card

Protection reduces risk. It does not make anyone unhackable.

Application link in the first reply.
