Ecency Discord Posting Topic Week 36: SECURITY

This week's topic is hot off the press, because on our blockchain and in discord rumors are making the round that several HIVE accounts have been compromised because they allegedly stored their keys in google drive. It is so important - no matter which provider - NOT to store your keys online.

Also, hardly a week goes by without someone appearing in the Ecency Discord in despair because they have been PISHED or have lost their keys due to some other stupid mistake.

So to make this topic aware as widely as possible, especially among our newer users, I thought, yes! We are now taking this up for our weekly ecency discord posting topic. I hope that the more experience reports, tips and tricks we send out, the more newbies we will reach with it.

>>> SECURITY (online and onchain)

• Why is this topic SO important, especially for uns Hivians?
• How and where is it best to store your passwords and keys?
• What tips, tricks or programs can you use?
• What else do you think about security online and onchain?
• Or, maybe you've had bad luck before and would like to tell your story as a warning to others?

As you already know, these are always only some suggestions and anything you can think of the broad topic "SECURITY ONLINE AND ONCHAIN" is of course possible, it's always great to see all those different approaches to a topic.

>>> RULES

One big request:
If you write a post with tips and tutorials, please only post what you are 100% SURE you are giving the CORRECT INFORMATION about, okay?

• Use TWO TAGS: #edtopic AND #ecencydiscord

• Write at least 200 words, take your time to make a good content post out of the topic

• No need to mention that it should be your own content, right?

Why use those tags? Because you are free to post in any community you choose and so we can find your postings with the tags, second, because we want our Discord members to interact more with each other on chain as well, and this is a possibility to find each other and leaving a nice comment.
#edtopic is reserved for the weekly posting topics only, but #ecencydiscord can be used, whenever you want.
