JAKARTA - Metaverse Decentraland has hosted the second Fashion Week, which showcases their digital and couture outfits, featuring a number of world-famous brands including Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Adidas, and DKNY.

The digital mode, which uses virtual avatars and online models to sell digital clothing and accessories, allows customers to browse through goods online, try them inside the store, and even buy them without leaving the house and only using debit cards to crypto wallets.

To buy and own a digital couture, users need a crypto wallet where all the information needed will be saved. Kaspersky experts have set up some tips to help users maintain the safety of their money and fashion items:

One of the most basic rules is to be careful in storing seeds of phase, preferably offline in a safe place. Another way, you can write 'flavor' in your notebook or on paper and store it in your safe. If there is no safe, encrypted safe or password manager is a reliable alternative.

In addition, it is also important not to reveal the seeds of phrases anywhere online unless you recover crypto wallets on other devices. For example, if users mention their phrases on a disguised phishing site, the potential loss of funds is absolute.

The same situation is related to the social engineering scenario in messengers, when scammers who disguise themselves as technical support employees contact users, and eventually ask for a seed phase, surely they will steal all the funds.

You can also check which sites are connected to crypto wallets and the actions you take when you enter them. This practice can maintain the security of funds because you are at risk of authorizing transactions on malicious websites and allowing attackers to take all or part of the funds from wallets.

With crypto wallets and virtual currencies, the same rule still applies, namely never being deceived by a very lucrative and generous offer. Most likely it won't give what it has promised.

If you want to buy NFT assets, make sure to check their authenticity before buying them from an official collection on a legitimate website. Like traditional fashion and art, here you also risk finding counterfeits made in such a way.
