Airdrop season is approaching, and many people are focusing on potential returns, but there's something more urgent—check your wallet's authorization status now!

Recently, I heard that someone's wallet was emptied. Many people's first reaction is that their private key was leaked, but in most cases, that's not the case. The real culprit is often those authorizations you forgot about long ago.

What’s going on? Simply put, every time you interact with a DApp—whether it's trading, mining, or staking—you might grant it permission to access your assets. The problem is, many people grant permissions and then forget about them. Those outdated, unused app permissions just hang there. If these apps have issues or are attacked, malicious actors can directly transfer your tokens without needing your private key.

So, it's time to take action: open your wallet settings, find the list of authorized apps, and check them one by one. If you don’t remember what a certain authorization is for, revoke it immediately. Don't leave uncertain permissions active—it's better to be safe than sorry, even if it’s a bit more trouble.

This is not alarmism; it’s basic security hygiene. Airdrops will still happen, but if your funds are gone, they’re gone for good.
