Preventive measures must be employed by internet users, especially within the crypto ecosystem, to conquer existing threats to personal privacy . CoinTelegraph has collected the most important ones. Adequate protection and abstinence
Most internet users who complain about privacy invasion and security breaches admit to certain careless actions on their side. Such actions range between acts of negligence and curiosity.
Inadequate and out of date security setups on devices usually leave users exposed. Visiting untrusted sites and clicking on links that you are not sure of are also careless acts that can expose devices to bugs that may become harmful in the long run.
Ken Heutmaker, Senior Software Engineer at Keepkey , says that while it is possible to set up a general purpose computer that is secure and not subject to any known vulnerabilities, it is difficult to do it so that you are not potentially vulnerable to unknown attack vectors.
There will always be new vulnerabilities discovered in iOS , Android , Windows , Linux and Mac OS X. They are vulnerable because they are large, complex chunks of code. Mistakes are bound to happen and attack scenarios are bound to be overlooked.
Heutmaker explains to CoinTelegraphCT r: 33 how to guard against this: “Small security devices are becoming essential to protecting personal security and privacy. Devices that are relatively simple are much less vulnerable because the attack surface is smaller. This approach allows you to lock down the most sensitive data in a highly controlled environment that is very difficult to attack examples of such device include YubiKey , and bitcoin wallet devices like KeepKey.” Need for raising the game Doug Miller, Head of Business Development & Strategic Alliances at Keepkey, points out that the elements which are responsible for security and privacy breaches change with time.
