Some people on here claimed that there BTT account got hacked or stolen I want to ask how this is possible, before someone can hack your account they need to get access to your email account right? If I am wrong can someone tell me how I can avoid this at all cost? .....
There are several ways through which one can secure their account from being hacked, and I will just mention a few, though I believe most of it have been mentioned by other users...
1. Secure your email account with a very strong password, if possible, activate 2fa on your account.
2. Secure your bitcointalk account with a very strong password as well.
3. Maintain the habit of accessing your bitcointalk account from one browser, on both your computer and mobile phone, this is keep you logged in for as long as you are active, anytime you open a site, and the site looks like Bitcointalk and asked you to enter your login details again, you can easily know its a phishing site that wants to steal your bitcointalk login information.
4. Avoid clicking wild links, especially links that are shortened, without any description of what or where the link leads to.
5. Keep your bitcointalk account away from your friends and family, give no one access to your account.
6. Keep your phone or computer locked when not in use, and also make sure they are free from viruses, malicious softwares, etc.
And lastly...
7. If your bitcointalk account is so important to you, then guide and protect it with your life, after all, remember the proverb...
where a man's treasure is, there is his heart.
