Title: [INFORMATION] [TIPS] Let's secure your Digital Assets !!
Post by: antMeXs on May 22, 2018, 05:28:19 AM
Look and learn from MEW incident yesterday, that MEW got hit DNS attack. Even previously also been rumored if Etherdelta, Mycripto and also Binance have been hit by this attack. The news here : http://blog.triv.co.id/myetherwallet-alami-serangan-dns/

From that incident, let's secure our digital assets with the following solutions:
1. Do not use google DNS, most attacks, attacking google DNS is considered less secure. Use only your ISP's default DNS, although it can not be said to be safe, but at least the ISP's DNS is rarely used by people.
2. Use a secure browser, for example Crhome that can check the validity of site security (green padlock marked left web address)
3. Use DNS Firewall, free versions are numerous but paid versions are better.
4. Avoid public Wifi, because many hackers there.
5. Use of virtual keyboard can save us from data theft (key logger)
6. Using the wallet offline.
7. Using Wallet Hardware, like TREZOR and others.
8. Avoid storing assets in Exchange, because exchange is one of the biggest hacker targets.
9. Save the assets separately, for example 1 BTC split into multiple wallets to store them.

Some of the above tips require a fee, so do not be afraid to pay the cost to protect our assets. What is free in life?  Grin Cheesy

Note : These tips from various sources on the internet and some forums here.

Not a meta board topic mate  :)

You may need to move the topic to an appropriate board. May be in Beginners & Help (Bitcoin Forum > Other > Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0)) or in Altcoin Discussion (Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Altcoin Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0))

I see you are a newbie. Perhaps you need a little assistance on how to find the move topic link.
Scroll down a bit, on the left hand side look for move topic link. Then follow the on screen instructions.
