5. Use of virtual keyboard can save us from data theft (key logger)

Since many newbies are reading some good stuff, isn't it good to tell them how to use virtual keyboard to avoid from data theft such as the key logger? You can get virtual keyboard by following this:

On windows 7

Please click on "Start" (Windows-Logo) then, execute "osk.exe" and Press [ENTER].
OR:
Open On-Screen Keyboard by clicking the "Start" button , clicking "All Programs", clicking "Accessories", clicking "Ease of Access", and then clicking "On-Screen Keyboard"

If you are in windows 10

Tap or click the OSK Options key, and then select the options you want: Use click sound. Show keys to make it easier to move around the screen. Turn on numeric keypad. Click on keys. Hover over keys. Scan through keys. Use Text Prediction.

You can also disable this after use. I use this virtual keyboard only when in need to ask for password in some sophisticated site. You can too.

Look and learn from MEW incident yesterday, that MEW got hit DNS attack. Even previously also been rumored if Etherdelta, Mycripto and also Binance have been hit by this attack. The news here : http://blog.triv.co.id/myetherwallet-alami-serangan-dns/

From that incident, let's secure our digital assets with the following solutions:
1. Do not use google DNS, most attacks, attacking google DNS is considered less secure. Use only your ISP's default DNS, although it can not be said to be safe, but at least the ISP's DNS is rarely used by people.
2. Use a secure browser, for example Crhome that can check the validity of site security (green padlock marked left web address)
3. Use DNS Firewall, free version is much, better pake the paid.
4. Avoid public Wifi, because many hackers there.
5. Use of virtual keyboard can save us from data theft (key logger)
6. Using the wallet offline.
7. Using Wallet Hardware, like TREZOR and others.
8. Avoid storing assets in Exchange, because exchange is one of the biggest hacker targets.
9. Save the assets separately, for example 1 BTC split into multiple wallets to store them.

Some of the above tips require a fee, so do not be afraid to pay the cost to protect our assets. What is free in life? Grin

Note : These tips from various sources on the internet and some forums here.

What are you trying to say in point #3? Free version is what?

So based on this nowadays many hackers are hacked other profile and they stole money from their account this is quite disturbing and it may destroy our business and system so we should aware of it I also agree this problem and here is some ideas like don’t not use public wifi but its true many of the thief are there who are known as hacker so we should avoid this.
