RE: How to Keep Your Computer Safe!
I have been thinking about using VM to access my bank account or steemit or even other online wallet. I assume if I only serve the website I trust on the VM, it is less risky to have my password stolen , right ?
If you are trying to deal with money (thousands of dollars), this would be a fairly safe (yet long route). Feel free to change anything, but this is just a general route:
1 Create VM (Linux Distriubtion would be the best)
2.Setup VPN Tunnel (Externally assuming you are bridging network adapters/cards)
3.Install AV & AD Blockers
4.Update Everything
5.Create a snapshot (I'd say once a week update the snapshot with any new OS/AV updates, or before use if you are paranoid)
6.When connected to VPN, load website (if you have a 3rd party wallet like my etherwallet, they have offline wallets you can download that are more secure)
7.When done, close VM
*Be aware nothing is full proof as there are zero-day bugs and exploits
**Also Diversify your assets (Money/Crypto) so if you do get hacked it won't destroy you
