    One common sign of a compromised bitcoin wallet is unauthorized transactions. If you notice any transactions that you did not initiate, it could be a sign that your wallet has been compromised. Another sign is if you are unable to access your wallet or if your login credentials no longer work. Additionally, if you receive any suspicious emails or messages asking for your wallet information, it is important to be cautious as it could be a phishing attempt. It is recommended to regularly check your wallet activity and enable two-factor authentication for added security.

    If you notice any unusual activity in your bitcoin wallet, such as sudden changes in balance or unexpected transactions, it is possible that your wallet has been compromised. It is important to keep your wallet software and antivirus programs up to date to minimize the risk of compromise. Additionally, be cautious of downloading any unknown software or clicking on suspicious links that could potentially lead to malware or phishing attacks. Regularly monitoring your wallet and taking necessary security measures can help protect your bitcoin holdings.
