Avoid these things before your assets disappear

in #security6 years ago

In the crypto world, of course we are related to the name of the internet. Already many of my friends have experienced the loss of their valuable assets, whether they are assets of social media to crypto assets that have been collected with difficulty. We can avoid some of the following to minimize things we don’t want.

  • Use a shared computer (internet cafe) to open a cryptocurrency wallet account
    This is not prohibited, but carelessness sometimes appears when we finish using the computer. Forgot to clean the chace or forget to log out of our cryptocurrency web application. Besides this, the shared computer is also very vulnerable to use because we do not know whether the computer is exposed to a virus or has been installed with a keylogger with someone before. It’s better to avoid it than the things we don’t want to happen, namely losing our valuable assets. But if you really have to be forced to use a computer together you must be smart to check the condition of the computer (cleanliness of the virus) so that we can safely use it.
  • Accidentally opened a phishing link
    Be careful when opening a link if you want to open a website. Check carefully the writing is correct or not, do not let you hurry to type on the search page and immediately click the phishing link. The appearance will be exactly the same as the web display we are going to go to. But when we enter the account and password, all of our data will go to the database of the person who created the phishing link, so that the person can also enter our account and steal our cryptocurrency assets.
  • Does not install Antivirus and Firewall
    It seems trivial, but this is very helpful in maintaining our assets from the intentions of not good others. By installing Firewall and Antivirus on our computers, we can at least know and detect early if there are new applications that come in and try to be installed on our computers. Don’t forget to always update your Antivirus database, because the virus is always experiencing development from the author.
  • Do not install extra safety
    The extra security referred to here is an additional application for safeguarding our cryptocurrency wallet account. One of them activates 2FA (2 Factor  Autenticathor ) which is useful as a double safety when going into our wallet account. Activating verification via telephone and e-mail numbers is also needed if you don’t want the thief to easily take your cryptocurrency assets.

Those are some things that we must be aware of if we don’t want our assets to be lost. Small things that sometimes we don’t pay attention to. Hopefully, this information is useful for All of Us.
