Thanks for understanding.. I hate getting burned, trying to help others.. Thats the worst, but its a lesson learned, gotta be cautious with personal information.

Without compromising your self, maybe a post on how to boost your own internet security would be a good one, i'd definitely be interested in that.
That is a good idea.. I will work on a detailed post about internet security.. But some of the basic things are: Make your cold wallets offline.. Keep your password file, for all accounts on a separate device that has no internet conection.. Don't hold much of your crypto on any one exchange.. Be careful using services that hold your keys for you (like blockchain.info), would be better to keep your coins on cold wallets where you have the keys.. Copy and paste you passwords and private keys, rather than type them on your keyboard.. Dont keep any bitcoin related files on your harddrive, and maybe even reinstal windows from scratch every so often, reformating all drives.. ... ... and so on and so on..
But if you really want security, what influenced you to keep Windows since they are so vulnerable?
I've always use windows.. only this time there is nothing for anyone to get at.. I keep 3 computers running.. one only for writing orders (never browsing websites).. and one for all internet activities.. and the last one offline, for anything sensitive.. i guess thats my current process.
