Most of you heard of the DNS attack which targeted Myetherwallet (MEW) web wallet users. tons of coins were stolen that day ( 6 days ago).

I can not stress on how important it is to use a hardware or at least an offline wallet to store your crypto ,but should you INSIST on using web based wallet keep in mind that you are only a few steps far from being compromised.

there are a few ways hackers can steal your coins, one of the most obvious is a DNS attack, therefore you should avoid using public - known DNS servers such as Google, OpenDns Home , etc ...

1- Always use your ISP DNS server, even though it is probably technically less secured than say  Google DNS server but the fact that it is not used by so many users and mostly unknown, it stays far from the hacker's targets.

2- Always make sure that you are using a secure connection, using chrome for an example, you have to see a green lock next to the url your browsing, click on secure and check the validity of the certificate.

3-The use of Virtual Keyboards can save you sometimes. something like Kaspersky Virtual Keyboard is much more secure than hitting your keyboard.


4-use multiple wallets, remember the old saying about eggs and basket ! it is still valid.

**Pay to secure your money, as you already know, nothing is free in life, just like you pay to ensure your car , house and health you have to pay to secure your fundings, hardware wallets are really cheap ! spend a little on one !



**Avoid storing your funds on exchanges , exchanges are hackers no1 target. every couple of months you will most likely hear about an exchange being compromised, you do not want your coins to be there !



stay safe guys, this is the BILL you have to pay for owning crypto, you get 100% freedom + you take 100% responsibility of your fundings.
