RE: Quick Tip #3: Always Use Your PRIVATE POSTING KEY To Log In!!

in #steemit6 years ago

I’ve been avoiding these things for years. Being limited to using my phone made me unexperienced again. But that shouldn’t be an excuse.
On my laptop, I also use the bookmark thing. And I learned to check for signs. Like for example Paypal will always start their emails with your name, not with ‘Dear customer’ or something like that...

I like to think I learned my lesson, I don’t check URL three times but 5 times. And when I’m asked to log in, I switch to my tablet, just to have a better view...

Mobil makes you a little more vulnerable for sure and yes it's a learning curve all over again. I used to do SEO and dealt with many black hat people who used to utilize links to do all sorts of things. Once I learned their shady tactics I learned that links just can't be trusted. It's actually probably safer today then it was 10 years ago as browsers are more secure, but still it's always a risk.
