    One of the most important measures you can take to prevent keystroke loggers from stealing your private keys is to use a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, making it nearly impossible for hackers to access them. Additionally, make sure to keep your hardware wallet firmware up to date and never enter your private keys on a compromised device.

    Another effective measure is to use a virtual keyboard when entering your private keys. Virtual keyboards prevent keystroke loggers from capturing your keystrokes by allowing you to input characters using your mouse. This adds an extra layer of security to protect your private keys.
