  First and foremost, you should change your FTX app password immediately. Make sure to choose a strong and unique password that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using common passwords or personal information that can be easily guessed.

  Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your FTX app. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code in addition to your password when logging in. You can use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy to generate the verification codes.

  Consider using a hardware wallet to store your digital assets instead of keeping them on your FTX app. Hardware wallets provide an extra layer of security by keeping your private keys offline and away from potential hackers.

  Lastly, consider using a virtual private network (VPN) when accessing your FTX app. A VPN encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, adding an extra layer of privacy and security to your online activities.
