Ten remembered words is usually workable. Six is not. What is realistically recoverable, and which tools actually do it.

Clustering, bridges, mixers and KYC records — how funds get followed across chains, and why seeing them is not the same as seizing them.

Malicious approvals, signature phishing and blind signing. The cryptography works fine; the authorisation is what gets attacked.

Why Bitcoin wants a fresh address per payment, why Ethereum works differently, and what retroactive deanonymisation actually means.

Secure elements, independent screens, firmware trust and supply-chain attacks — plus the six things a hardware wallet cannot protect you from.
