Steemit is a God secured platform, Yes we all
know that. But there are some things we do that
put our steemit account in danger of getting
hacked.
However, Today I will be introducing you to
various ways to protecting your steemit account
from getting hacked.
It is certain that if your steemit account should
be hacked, it is from you.
Ways in which hacker explore their target:
Operating System (OS) vunerabilities.
Bugged mail messages.
network sniffing.
physical abuse.
How do you prevent your account from been
hacked:
Note: your steemit account password is already
strong enough, so you will not be needing a
new password.
1. Get two step gmail verification
Two step verification is obviously one of
the latest security measure on gmail,
whatsapp etc. This help to reduce the risk
of your gmail account getting hacked, as
70% of steemit user would prefer to hide
there password on there account, to avoid
the stress of retyping there password often.
2. Getting your Operating System up to date
Have you ever imagined why windows
keep releasing newer version of there OS,
from time to time?
Have you ever thought on, why do we
have various versions of windows?
This is because of various threats noticed
in the previous version.
Therefore, using a non up to date OS, gives
your attacker almost a easy access to your
account with just a few hit on metasploit or
even smaller tools.
3. Use a trusted antivirus
Anti virus plays a large role in keeping
your system or device out of troubles such
as virus, worm, trojan etc.
However, Bitdefender or kapersky might
really be a good choice. So:
a) Do yourself a favour of getting one.
b) Ensure you scan all mail from all
unidentified and untrusted senders.
4. Never entrusted your device to a stranger
Human been can never be predicted, we
can be bad, good, weak, strong or even
evil.
the bad guy will not label there head with
'I am a bad guy'.
Therefore, trust nobody, security is your
right, is your role.
HAPPY STEEMING!
