Gridlock's design ensures that only the user's device can access their crypto, providing robust protection against potential hackers. Even if a hacker somehow managed to guess your account credentials, the security measures in place would limit their access to a 'Read Only' mode. This means they would be unable to perform any transactions or make unauthorized changes. To successfully steal your crypto, a hacker would need to gain access to your device, your Guardian's devices, and other secure devices within your network. The distributed nature of Gridlock's security infrastructure makes it highly unlikely for all these devices to be compromised simultaneously. Therefore your crypto assets remain secure as only your device has the capability to initiate transactions. The decentralized and protective nature of Gridlock's ecosystem ensures that your assets are well-guarded against potential theft. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.gridlock.network/guardians/all-about-guardians/can-a-hacker-combine-the-devices-in-my-network.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
