It is always a pain in my ass whenever I heard crypto dude saying something like I have been hacked, I lost my private or I mistakenly deleted my important files. All those words are kind of annoying if you guys don't know, it is really pissing some people like me off. Those are the questions that always come to my mind when I hear someone lost his/her private-key,

  • WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?
  • DO YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT CRYPTO IS AT ALL BEFORE INVESTING?
  • CAN YOU BE THIS CARELESS WITH YOUR BANKING STUFF? and all that.

Something is that, if you know this is like your bank account, you will do all you can to secure it. If you know how your country, state, area, home, room is. You will definitely keep all your gadget well even if you don't have 100% believe in it. Nobody needs to tell you thieves comes in the night.

Those have been a very sad story I have always been listened to ever since I came into crypto, it is even more worst than to purchase coin high and sell low. So this has made me sit and comes up with this list of helpful tips to be safe and mitigate the chance of getting hacked. Remember hackers are also people like you and most of the time they use your help to gain access to your online stuff.

How To Mitigate Your Chances Of Getting Hacked.

👉 PassWord;- Do not ever use the same passwords for your crypto-currencies wallet, market/exchanges, and other websites. etc. Your passwords should be a complex pile of twaddle. You can be using password keeping app like LastPass to keep and manage your passwords.

👉 2FA;- Activate 2FA on all your online wallet and websites, emails and all.

👉 Do Not Open It;- If you don't know what the links are or have an idea of what it is don't bother opening it at all or download anything from it, no matter whether it is given to you by friends or family. always stay safe. Ask them questions, what the links are for, always be sure. if possible don't welcome any strange links.

👉 Don't Download Junks;- You want to be safe? then stop downloading shits up and down. Don't collect and open any application if you don't understand their work. Don't love a music or movie to an extent that you will be entering every damn website you see just to make sure you download them. Always be sure, even after your sure, buddy be sure again.

👉 Be Careful Of Free Coin;- Looking for and filling airdrops forms or hunting for free bitcoins from every damn website and links can get your devices attacked and from there, you might lose your login details. Most free token out there are just waiting for you to post your private keys and login details. Tread carefully.
**Note;- There are ways and things to notice, whenever you want to go for airdrop.

👉 **Do Not. I mean Never befriending your friends and family with your laptop or any device, anybody be it from Adam. If you're a student, it is important to avoid having a hostel mate. If you two must stay together, it is important he or she owns a personal device. Password your PC & set it to 10 minutes sleep after inactivity. Just add almost all privacy to your pc and don't forget your phone.

Anybody that has been hacked before might have guilty as a cat in a goldfish bowl any of those rules above.

Stay safe out there.

Peace!
