The risk in being an online worker is so high with many unsuspecting and unlucky ones falling victim to scammers on a daily that's why strict carefulness and security in these line of work shouldn't be neglected because a slim mistake can lead to a big loss that may not only affect you in person but extend to other people linked to your business.
You are correct, mate, despite the high risk attached, some people are just still careless about their security. There was a thread created some weeks ago where the member expressed how his assets worth about $100k were hijacked from his wallet. Although it was hard to believe, but with the transaction hash he provided, the evidence was just there. I really do feel sorry for some of these victims, who lose a great sum of money every day. Even lately, there has been some new malware that has been developed to easily track and absorb user privacy details and compromise such users security. This gives us more reason to be very careful and handle our security with paramount importance.
If there's anything someone should put so much paramount on after owning some coins it should be security. Security is important in this space of tech and can't be overemphasized because on a daily new malware's and tricks are being invented by these scammers and dark web users to be able to gain access into people wallet either by owner's misgiving or through some sort of brute force. When we invite people to adopt bitcoin for their use we should also press emphasis as a reminder to them about the aspect of security and possible measures they case take to avoid being victimized or financially wasted.
There are newbies that got scammed or wallet hacked in their very beginning of adoption of bitcoin and the experience scared them away thinking that the might loss more money should they continue again. But when we emphasize about the security side of it to them as we do with the profit making aspect I believe it will save a lot of them from experience those losses from start to finish.
