First thing first.  Don't ever give anybody your private key, even at 🔫 point.


 Your Keyboard  : A lot of us loves fancy  keyboard,  some are developed by hackers and send sensitive information back to the developer.  Some have low security that a virus can always steal information as you type them( i.e  listening to all your input).

Some virus  read data  from your keyboard  clip board (most people don't even know there is a clip board in there keyboard) .
Clip board is like a temporary note pad that stores  the last 10 to (depends on the range)  of copied  data.

Always  delete your private  key from your keyboard's clip board .
That's why the earliest version of blockchain app doesn't allow you to copy information from it


 Overlaying: You have to be careful the permission  stupid  apps ask.  I always uninstall  apps that ask for overlaying permission.  They are transparent app that opens on other app.  So when you think you are typing into your Normal, you are actually typing into an overlaying  app and the overlaying  will then type it into the normal app. That way,  you won't know that's was a middle  man theif.  

Example of overlaying app is onscreen  moving ant,

That's why the earliest version of blockchain app doesn't open when it detects an overlaying app.



 Your Browser  cookies on browser  also like clip board.  It's the way your browser remembers you have logged in before. It's suppose to be inaccessible by any other site except from the site that creates the cookie but some virus finds way to steal  cookie and decrypt them.  Some cookies themselves are virus programs.  
Every time you open ED and your new is still imported,  it's because ED stores your private key and public key on a cookie.
Always log out from sensitive site.

Best advice, open sensitive site in incognito mode, because incognito will destroy all cookie created the moment you close your browser  Or have a separate  browser  for accesing sensitive  site,  don't use such browser for your day to day social  stuffs.

thanks for the information sir. so what we do now are keep our antivirus up to date and that's have a malware scanner.
the hacker now using payload to put their exploit code on some file like pdf , doc and xls.
and if the virus success enter to our system, hacker can access all of our file include our webcam, keyboard and all over.
so be carefully

Minus Value Investment Bitcoin,
Although sophisticated, this bitcoin investment also has the disadvantage of the possibility of your Bitcoin Account is hacked or hacked by others.most methods are successful only because the victim is indifferent and do not want to know more about the safeguarding of the wallet and security keys in keeping other data..very good information friend.

I just know this and this information is very useful, I often use clip board to copy paste private key when opening wallet.
So in your opinion, the safest thing is to type private manually one by one character?
