Thanks Arthur for your in depth reply and information.

I am already with protonmail so that is good, and I have a Mac, so less likely to be hacked?? My passwords probably need strengthening, so thanks for that! & I don't save finance ones in the browser. I didn't realise that email security was that important so thanks for that.

Maybe I should get an email account that I only use for finance and don't give out to friends etc?

Re the exchanging, it's not that I don't want alt coins, it was more if I had a feeling that bitcoin was going to do a dive after going up so was just exchanging out to buy back again. I will use alt coins if I do this though, probably better to keep it all as crypto. I wasn't going to take it out as dollars.

You haven't put me off, it is good to be told about how much security is needed to not be caught out. I'm sorry you were hacked, not nice at all and so much work to resolve it I'm sure.

Thanks for your lovely comment, and sending you lots of Pure and positive energy! :)
