Secure Cold Storage is a method of storing digital assets, typically cryptocurrencies, offline to protect them from online threats like hacking and malware. This involves keeping private keys in an environment disconnected from the internet, such as hardware wallets, paper wallets, or specialized secure devices. It offers a high level of security against cyberattacks by removing the direct online access vector.
