I suppose I can squish this in the topic. The hosts part. Also, Keep your system updated and stay secure. Tips to avoid viruses trojans

I would recommend Comodo free firewall, which comes with a sandbox and defense+.

Also, I would and no doubt this has saved me from a lot of bad stuff, recommend MVPS hosts file.

You can use this on linux, rooted phones and Windows, and probably other stuff that use hosts file.

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

If you get notepad++, you can ctrl-f 127.0.0.1, click replace all with 0.0.0.0 .

Example.

Code:

127.0.0.1  fr.a2dfp.net > 0.0.0.0  fr.a2dfp.net

By doing this, you save a lot of space.

And you leave

Code:

127.0.0.1  localhost

alone.

I love Keepass! I just made the switch for everything into Keepass and its good not having to repeat passwords between websites!

All this Bitcoin stuff made me a lot more interested in cryptography. But it makes me think... how often do people get their CC and passwords stolen online? Its never happened to me or anyone I know.

I have been using LastPass Premium for about 3 years now.
It is a stunning program, keeping my 400-500 passwords neat and secure.
I also love the fact that I can share a password with someone, and then rescind access.

Their latest additional security feature is great too, whenever you login to a site with a poor or duplicate password, they notify you via the browser plugin.
This I find very helpful in reminding me to update passwords on sites I don't access very often, making my life more secure every day.

Thanks for the post, keeps my eyes open to other options

Thanks for the Keepass recommendation for the masses.

There is also Keepassx [1] w/ cross-platform support (ex: Linux, OSX) and it works quite nicely w/ minimal memory usage compared to Keepass2 & .Net. I use both in different scenarios - Keepass2 for by main accounts / etc where I typically access via powerful PC and Keepassx when I have to work on a not-so-powerful PC w/ more protected accounts.

Have a mining rig

Going forward I see multi-factor authentication gaining traction for most online accounts (ie password + code sent via sms to phone, etc). This eliminates the very real threat of keystroke logging malware and other forms of authentication theft which lastpass et al is not immune to. The recent AP Twitter hack made the case for this and Twitter was very quick to add it as an option for authenticating their users. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/04/23/ap-twitter-hack-was-trivial/2107427/
