Crypto Security AAA+ - Protect yourself and others
So @boxmining almost got scammed due to Google Ad's. See the video below. If you are lazy type and type out the word in google instead of the entire website. There is a way to block Google Ad entirely. I use a chrome app plugin called uBlock Origin. It blocks everything by default.
I use Metamask in conjunction with UBlock as well.
Wrote a blog post here with Metamask in action.
Without UBlock
With UBlock
Adblock
You can also use Adblock to block those CPU mining sites such as what Pirate Bay and Show time were doing secretly.
Go to Options
Click Customize and Edit
Copy and paste this url into the text box and hit SAVE

Especially be careful on slack and telegram, never click links from people you dont know. And every time you're about to enter an exchange or a wallet doublecheck the URL you landed on. Stay safe!

The negligence of this will be the downfall of adwords if not adex.. go adex.. maybe this is a heads up to all invest in that coin.
thanks for your good advice here,
