How to prevent a steemit account from hackers

In these few months the level of hacking steemit accounts has continued to increase drastically, as I have seen in several posts from active members in the steem entrepreneur community, almost every week I pay attention to comments that are lured by gifts from binance and this will be a must that must be wary of steemit users.

Every account they have hacked, they will carry out the action by tricking the friends who are friends with the account. Of course, this will trigger the account hacking process to increase every day. This will be a concern for us as moderators of the steem entrepreneur community, with the proliferation of hackers, there are several examples that I screenshot as a sample of me being active in checking every member's post in our community, which aims to maintain and comfort for active members on the steemit platform and the convenience of the steem entrepreneur community.

How to prevent hacking your steemit account from Malware.

From some articles that I read about hacking steemit accounts they do something similar (Malware). Malware that is usually used in website software such as Ransomware like the example picture above works by sending a link for you to click in the comments.

1. If you do writing activities on the steemit platform using a laptop, computer and smartphone to protect it then you can use applications such as:
   • Bitdefender, Norton, or Kaspersky as Anti virus on your laptop and your computer. For smartphones, usually there is an anti-virus that is planted permanently like Avast dan Avira.

2. Backup your steemit password to your Google Drive by using (Authenticator) because at any time Malware software can break your email defense, so I suggest that you can use Authenticator to be more secure.

3. Avoid suspicious hyperlinks from your post comments or you can CC Moderators like in the steem entrepreneur community you can use CC @afrizalbinalka @f2i5 @subkiusman @harferri and @tucsond

4. Identify suspicious websites, at any time you can ask this problem in your steemit group or you can search for information about the website with google lens.
