You need to be careful with the sort of email messages you read requesting for private keys. Again, any website you are not familiar with, you should stay away from them as you could easily be hacked via virus attack. You should avoid sending your private keys over the media to a trusted friend to do some transactions for you. I will recommend that, you connect you wallet addresses to metamask by installing metamask on your various browsers. Metamask helps you to track phishing sites and avoid them.

There are a few methods to save your private keys securely, however, even if you save your keys well, if you visit a phishing site you will lose all your tokens because when you enter the fake site you are introducing those keys. In the case that you pose, the important thing is to make absolutely sure that you are on the real MEW site or, alternatively, to run MEW offline and locally.

People make it really complicated when they talk about the safety of their wallets.. It is very simple thing that you have the key to your house and in the house you have gold pots with diamonds filled in. How do you see everything? You will obviously keep tight security around it and you will save your keys to somewhere place very safe.

Its just that you have to safeguard your keystone file and private keys in the same manner. Thats the only key to open up the whole thing so why not take extra precaution and save them with multiple copies on different hardware? You can always print the private key and place it somewhere safe. Simple.
