How safe are your critical data?

in #security6 years ago

These day most of our valuables are digital, our game, social media and crypto currency accounts just to name few, but how safe are our digital valuables?

Consider this scenario:
your computers hard drive suddenly fails, you wouldn't care about your illegal movie or porn collection and you can get over your family images an movies but:

  • Do you have a backup of your passwords for different websites?
  • Do you have a backup of your steemit keys?
  • Do you have a backup of your Bitcoin wallet?
  • can you open your email at all?

Most of you would answer something along the lines: I have multiple hard drives and a program that backup for me, or yes on a flash drive.

Fair enough, let's go through the second scenario:
You lose everything in you room in a fire, same questions...
Well these days everything is backed up in the browser automatically and uploaded to cloud, all you need to remember is your email and password righ?

Let's go through the third scenario: a burglar steals your computer, laptop or phone, how safe are your valuables? Is your posting key saved in your browser or the burglar would own your account from now on? Does your Bitcoin wallet have a password that is not saved in a notepad somewhere on your device? Don't tell me you keep all of your valuable data in your eamil, Google drive or a folder on your hard drive unencrypted... Or without your device and email you're out of backups.

Keeping your data safe is simple with two simple rules:
1- always keep your valuable data encrypted, even on your own devices.
2- always keep multiple backups at more than two separate places, encrypted of course.
