• How much it is important to keep your digital assets safe(Be original to tell it in your own words)

Keeping your digital asset safe is a paramount or priority which every individual as well as the exchange takes very serious. As you know, one of the things that one consider before keeping his or her asset in any exchange is security.

So if an exchange is not secured, no one will want to keep his or her digital asset there. So since this digital asset are our top priority and the priority of the exchange, the need to keep it secure can never be overemphasized.

You keep it safe because it may be your live savings and if you loose such money, you may not be able to survive especially those who have invested greatly in the digital asset.

That being said, they need to keep our digital asset is to keep our investment safe and also to get it at anytime we need it and wish to make use of it. That is the main reason of keeping our asset safe.

• How can your digital assets be manipulated by unauthorized access (Write three reasons)

There are many ways which you digital asset can be manipulated by unauthorised users and a very good example as we know is when someone has access to your key e.g for the Steemit platform.

When someone has your key, the person automatically has your account. So having your key is one way you asset can be manipulated. Another way your asset can be seen by unauthorised user is when you click on phishing links.

There are usually some links posted here on Steemit and immediately you click on them, the hacker gets full control of your account and your phone.

Another major ways where unauthorised user have access to our account is when we register our details in an unsecured platform and those with such gets your details and use it to steal from you in any slight opportunity.

• Write any three methods of keeping your digital assets safe.

One of the main method to keep your digital asset safe is never to share your key with anyone. Also don't allow or trust anyone with your device and if possible always lock the places you keep your keys.

Secondly, you can save your keys on cloud where you alone have complete access to it in case you loss your phone or any device you are using.

Lastly, make your research about any platform before providing your personal details to them so that they don't get to use it against you when they have the opportunity.
