RE: How to safely backup your private keys in the cloud
Good write-up. I often use 7-zip to encrypt important information. It's another layer of defense for sure. So if you're going to leave important info up in the cloud, be it crypto or something else, this should be one of the steps you take.
Indeed, if somebody gets access to the files they can easily scan it for private key patterns (unless it is encrypted) and steal all the coins. There is no bank to reverse the transactions
When money is involved you can never be too careful. Obviously people should aim to keep keys offline in a hardware or paper wallet of some sort. But if you want one up in the cloud, PLEASE encrypt it with strong encryption and a good password. Re-steemed your post.
