Today a friend of mine entered misspelled address and got phised - his coins were extracted and spent.
Since cryptos are anonymous (well not exactly but +/- yes) there are loads of scams and fake websites looking exactly the same as proper ones.
I suggest to bookmark exchanges or GUI wallets for ETH and never ever enter them from google or typing.
But there is also a cool chrome addon called Cryptonite - it checks popular crypto websites and tells if they are real or not.

It may not be very accurate as some new websites of crypto may not be judged correctly. Its better to bookmark a website you know is absolutely correct address and always open the bookmarked one.
Great tip for Chrome browser addon. Will definitely check this out...

one should take precautions from the begining
This is definately a great site that I will be using in future. As you said, there are loads of phishing sites, many advertising on google ads so they appear as the top site when you type in your site name to google. This sounds like a great solution!
Cyber securities are going to be huge in the future.
What makes you believe that?
It is all about decentralization. A 'bank' will never understand.

Useful plugin. Nowadays everything is possible and fake websites is an example of it. Most of the people are not much familiar to the internet and fake websites and chances of losing their assets is too much. Good awareness post.

Is the cryptonite addon for free??
for now.. yes!
Bitcoin phenomenon or electronic money more and more favored many people who access the virtual world. In Indonesia alone, the status of issuing Bitcoin permits is heavily debated. Some agreed, while others refused.
There is going to be a lot of money to be made by offering security for cryptocurrencies in the near future. It is too easy to scam users out of their money and there is very little that can be done about it.
Awesome post! I really appreciate how supportive the Steemit/crypto community is as a relatively new cryptocurrency connoisseur. I think this is the kind of support that demonstrates the value and potential for sites like Steemit and crypto currency in general. Thank you for the advice.
Very important for security thanks for the knowledge shared. Keep it up 👆..

Excellent information of bitcoin, nice post, thanks for sharing
Wow... Thank you for the information. A lot of them abounds here and there. It will surely save some people from this scammers
Thank you for the tip. I was advised not to use Chrome for cryptocurrency sites. However, it is my preferred browser. Now, I can comfortably use it. Appreciate the tip.
Its always better to be safe. It is so easy to lose control of your crypto that it is worrying. Even if it is small now in 5 years you might look back at 50 grand worth that was lost.
That's really helpful. With all the thefts and scams going on I guess it doesn't hurt to be on the safer side. Thank you very much.
excelente pposts gracias muy buena información
thanks for posting this is very useful iformasi
Wow, thanks for an important info like this.
so instead of creating bookmarks, i.e. keeping security in my own hands, i should grant an unverified chrome plugin access to my browser? not convinced, sorry
totally agree with you
exceptional!
this is an important update. I used to typed the URL without caring about these issues
Yup, I got that addon when I got my MEW.

The trick is they send you some complimentary message as a brand for a "thank you" gesture. You will be asked to click a link and voila,there and then they GOT you. You can read as many mails sent to you as possible but never open any untrusted links. This has cost many their hard earned funds. Be wise. Hackers aint resting so you should not.
