    One common sign of a compromised Ethereum 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. To check if your wallet is affected, you can review the transaction history and compare it with your own records. If you find any discrepancies, it's recommended to take immediate action to secure your wallet and contact the support team of your wallet provider for assistance.

    Another sign of a compromised Ethereum wallet is unusual account activity. If you notice any changes in your account settings, such as new addresses added or changes in security settings, it could indicate that your wallet has been compromised. To check if your wallet is affected, you can regularly review your account settings and monitor any suspicious changes. Additionally, you can enable two-factor authentication and regularly update your wallet software to enhance security.
