RE: Taking Crypto Security More Seriously, Recently Moved Most of my Coins Off Exchanges

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Very good post, lots of good information you’ve made me think about a few things I to will have to look at my 2FA myself I didn’t back up my google Authenticator bugger . I’m hoping on getting a new laptop very soon so it should help would you know if a mac is more secure?. Thanks mike

Hey @mikenevitt I also didn't backup my 2FA, made me very nervous having to turn it off on all my accounts and turn back on so tried to get as many coins off exchanges as I could and tried to consolidate my coins on the few exchanges I am on. There's been a few instances where I almost lost my phone or thought my phone died out and got really nervous as I imagine an exchange like Coinbase could take weeks to answer your support ticket and get you back online.

In regards to macs vs pc's, I've always heard macs were more secure if for no other reason than most viruses and malware were made for windows but these days with so many people using macs not sure if that still holds true. I think the biggest vulnerability we have is user error ie clicking a fishing link or something like that.

Thank you very much for your reply and help it’s very much appreciated cheers mike
