  One common sign of an account takeover in the cryptocurrency industry is unexpected or unauthorized transactions. If you notice transactions that you did not initiate or authorize, it could be a sign that someone has gained access to your account. It's important to regularly monitor your account activity and report any suspicious transactions to the platform or exchange you are using.

  Another sign to look out for is a sudden change in your account settings or security measures. If you find that your password has been changed without your knowledge or that two-factor authentication has been disabled, it could indicate that someone has taken control of your account. In such cases, it is crucial to immediately contact the platform or exchange to secure your account and prevent further unauthorized access.

  Unusual login attempts or failed login attempts can also be indicators of an account takeover. If you receive notifications about login attempts from unfamiliar locations or notice multiple failed login attempts, it's important to take immediate action. Change your password, enable additional security measures, and report the incident to the platform or exchange you are using.
