Attention, Steemians ! #Security Reminder

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

In past, recent, in future security issues always been walking around us. In order to secure your digital assets from being stolen, here are my suggestions for crypto-currency traders.

1- Never leave a huge amount of funds on any exchange, always move majority of your funds into a better secure option, like cold storage or hardware wallet etc.

2- Avoid typing a site you are looking for into a search engine, rather use the url address bar or copy the URL from a trusted location or better still, use a bookmark in your browser.   

3- Setup a Crypto Address Whitelist. creating a whitelist simply tells the exchange to only authorize withdrawals to addresses on the whitelist also note that, when opting into this feature, you must specify a withdrawal address for every digital currency you would like to place a withdrawal from . This can be a bit tedious to use with some exchanges. you can alternatively disable all withdrawals for all currencies

4- Set up email confirmations that require additional login and 2FA codes.

5. DO NOT click on the first link in a search engine! they are all ads. this applies to all the popular search engines google, bing, yahoo etc. 

6- Using a password manager is also recommended, so if you go to auto fill password and your password manager has no suggestions, that is an indication that you are on the wrong site and you should get of there.
