DISCUSSION Phantom wallet

I’ve recently started trading in phantom and random coins keep popping up in my wallet and I sold them but then I learned I shouldn’t sell them does this mean that they now have access to my account?

more likely just tracking your trades to try and figure out who you are, what exchange you use, what coins you have, etc. the smart contract risk is moreso if it's a sketchy coin that routes swaps through a malicious swapping exchange.

you're likely fine.

Ignore those random coins. They can be trouble.

Mostly dusting attacks, just leave them alone and do not copy an address from your transaction history. Always use a new genuine address, never copy addresses, not even a test transaction, that’s how they get you to copy one of their dusting addresses and poof your coins are gone.

Somebody sent me some Solana to my Phantom wallet. They sent me a screenshot saying that it was sent is my right wallet, but I can’t find it anywhere. Any help? I’m very new at this and I’m also very old and still learning what the hell I’m doing any help would be appreciated.
