HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET
Protect yourself from cyber criminals

5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI 

      It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions.


I agree with everything you wrote here, but just wanted to add that whenever you use PUBLIC WIFI (sometimes you simply don't have choice), you should use a VPN service, which will prevent you from many troubles.

Thank you!

That's right. A good VPN is a cornerstone of online security. And it's not only limited to PUBLIC WIFI. Every time you go online and enter your login and password, it is potentially unsafe unless you use a trusted VPN service and with crypto it's a MUST. So, I guess VPN should also be included on the list.
Otherwise, the list is nearly perfect. Thanks for sharing!
