Commenting on the recent Ripple hack, on-chain cryptocurrency sleuth ZachXBT urged all cryptocurrency users to avoid reusing their emails and passwords across various services to avoid becoming victims of fraud.

4/ Good cyber hygiene means not reusing emails or passwords across different services (be clear).
Email options include Skiff, ProtonMail, or setting up a custom domain.
You should always assume that your information has been leaked online through a breach at some point.
