Clean Device vs Malware

A clean device is a computer, smartphone, or hardware wallet verified to be free of malware, unauthorized software, and security compromises through fresh installation, security scanning, or dedicated usage patterns that minimize infection risk, providing a trustworthy environment for sensitive cryptocurrency operations.

Malware is any malicious software designed to damage systems, steal data, or gain unauthorized access, specifically targeting cryptocurrency users by capturing private keys, seed phrases, and wallet credentials to steal digital assets.
