# Security Guide: Using HunterBot with Confidence

**1. Private Keys and Recovery Phrases Management:**

* **NEVER Share:** Your private key or recovery phrase gives full control over your wallet. **Never share it with anyone**, including bot administrators, support staff, or on any online forms. Legitimate bots and teams will **NEVER** ask for this information.
* **Backup Securely and Offline:** If you create a new wallet on HunterBot, immediately store the private key/recovery phrase in a secure and **offline** location (e.g., written on paper and stored safely, secure password manager, hardware wallet if compatible). Do not save screenshots or plain text files on your computer or phone.

***

**2. Telegram Account Security:**

* **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):** Enable two-factor authentication on your Telegram account in Settings > Privacy and Security > Two-Step Verification. This adds an extra layer of security in case someone tries to access your account.
* **Passcode:** Set a passcode for the Telegram app.
* **Be Cautious of Phishing:** Be wary of unsolicited direct messages (DMs), even if they appear to be from admins or support. Never click on suspicious links or provide personal or security information.

***

**3. Interacting with the Bot:**

* **Verify the Official Bot:** Make sure you're interacting with the official HunterBot. Double-check the correct username (@username).
* **Confirm Transactions:** Always review the details (amount, token, destination address for withdrawals) before confirming any transaction on the bot.
* **Contract Addresses (CA):** Carefully verify the contract addresses of the tokens you trade to avoid purchasing fake tokens or scams.

***

**4. Fund Management:**

* **Don't Store Everything in the Bot:** Avoid keeping large amounts of funds idle in the wallet associated with the bot for long periods. Consider moving profits or unused capital to a more secure wallet (e.g., hardware wallet) regularly.
* **Use Dedicated Wallets:** As mentioned, using a separate wallet specifically for the bot can limit potential losses in case of a breach.

***

**5. Research (DYOR - Do Your Own Research):**

* The bot is a tool. The final responsibility for your trading decisions rests with you. Research the tokens before purchasing, especially new launches.
