I trust no one, not even myself ! *queue eerie music while crazy guy laughs in background *

But seriously, I couldn't agree more, trust is something hard to earn and quick to break, with horrible consequences in most cases.

Seriously. Don't trust the exchanges, don't trust online wallet services, don't trust your anti-virus software, and don't trust anybody online.


I recommend that you practice your wallet encryption and recovery a few times with a small number of coins, until you are very comfortable with the process before you try it with the bulk of your savings.

And remember, this is how most bitcoins services get started:

Follow this advise.
Already lost 0.5 BTC in a Ponzi Scheme last year.
Thankfully it wasn't much. ^^

With all the problems bitcoin exchanges have been having I think I will only be trusting Mt. Gox because yeah they've been hacked but they paid back their customers. Anyone can open up an exchange because there's no regulation. It doesn't make sense to trust a new exchange. This has been proven over and over.

I've had this philosophy since I started mining and haven't lost anything. (Yet :p)  Though it did convince me to use Lastpass software for all my passwords, they're all different and all very secure.  If you don't use it you should.

I may be new to bitcointalk, but to account security I am not.

Securing your wallet should include securing all your passwords, like using LastPass or another password manager.  There's more than one way to skin a cat, and a determined thief might use more indirect theft of your personal information to gain increasing amounts of trust.  Or might simply hijack your Facebook, Twitter, and email accounts to spite, embarrass or extort you.

Multiple password dumps have shown, time and again, rampant password reuse in the general online public (and if not reuse, poor use — as in, easily guessed or bruteforce-cracked).

tl;dr

Up-armor all your passwords, today.
