I cringe every time I see a thread titled "How many bitcoin do you own?" or "What bitcoin wallet do you use?" or "Are you holding or spending your bitcoin?" or "Where do you find bitcoin faucets?" or any other of a million titles a clever scammer / hacker might use in order to learn all he will ever need to scam / hack all of your bitcoin away.

I'm not a hacker or coder or anything computery, but if I were, then I'd post a few threads like those mentioned above, and I'd bet that at least one forum member inadvertently tells me what kind of operating system he uses, which wallet software he's using, how many bitcoin he owns, how he has those bitcoin distributed among his software, hardware, and paper wallets, what times he's usually at his computer, which online links he's most likely to click on and download, and a ton more super hackery information. (It's crazy how much info we give away without knowing it.)

Just be careful what information you share in a public forum, and you'll be fine.

Nothing can stop the super clever professional hackers if they really want your bitcoin (or any other valuable information), but you don't have to help them, either.
