Ether Wallet Scam

[Rengga Jati]

Based on your story, I think there is confusion here:
The wallet is hacked, but why did you accuse that ether is a scam? This is a very different way to do that. You are scammed by ether if ether did something wth your asset, get it to lose because ether wallet who did it. And you may create a wallet in a fake ether wallet.
But from what you said is that the wallet is ahcked. So, it is not the fault of ether wallet, and it odesn;t mean that ether wallet is a scam.

However here, an online wallet is too risky. Ether wallet also has noticed about it before registering, an online wallet is risky and better to use mobile walet. or a hardware wallet. about how to store the private keys and other crucial data, I do believe that we need to store it in a saver device and must have a backup.

We are responsible to our own safety and your advice is not that bad as the safest place to hide your private key is not online but offline and with regards to what happen
to your friend, I am not so sure if how it happened but can you give a clearer information on how his assets has been taken away.

A random message has pop up but I am not so sure if hitting a pop up message can cause too much damage to your friend that end up lossing all of his assets in his ether
wallet. Is he using a mobile upon hitting the pop up message, where did he save his private keys? How long does it take for the hackers to transfer the funds. A extra information
will be very helpful to alert all the crypto members especially if they can experience this kind of scenario.

I store some keys on the Internet, but they are very well protected, just take a little care about protecting your data!

Please whatever you're doing don't save your ether wallet private keys online avoid saving you private keys on your mail It's a death trap the best way to save your keys is on a paper and keep it somewhere secured maybe in your grandma photos album or a place you can easily get access to any anytime, there is this new scam going on a random message would just pop up on your mobile with two options "Cancel" and "OK" meanwhile "OK" means Cancel while "Cancel" means  OK they interchanged the options to get you traped a friend of mine ether wallet was hacked yesterday through his mail and all his assets taken away. The messages can not be avoided the best solution is to keep your private keys offline

What will happen if one of your family member took your grandma photo album without you knowing? That's not a safe way of keeping your private key, it should be in your reach only, carve the keys on a wood or steel is the best way, just keep it in your wardrobe

I hate pop ups whenever I'm using the web or browser on my PC, I expected you guys to do the same, you don't have to check anything out because this days anything can be used to steal data from you, be you links or ads popping up on your screen, be strict and mean with such things
