Crypto Security AAA+ - Protect yourself and otherssteemCreated with Sketch.

So @boxmining almost got scammed due to Google Ad's. See the video below. If you are lazy type and type out the word in google instead of the entire website. There is a way to block Google Ad entirely. I use a chrome app plugin called uBlock Origin. It blocks everything by default.

Boxming Youtube Video

I use Metamask in conjunction with UBlock as well.
Wrote a blog post here with Metamask in action.

Without UBlock

With UBlock

Adblock

You can also use Adblock to block those CPU mining sites such as what Pirate Bay and Show time were doing secretly.

Go to Options

Click Customize and Edit

Copy and paste this url into the text box and hit SAVE

    Especially be careful on slack and telegram, never click links from people you dont know. And every time you're about to enter an exchange or a wallet doublecheck the URL you landed on. Stay safe!

          Thanks I will reread and implement. Same thing happened to me- see here: https://steemit.com/discussion/@jovial-grace/phished-by-google#@sinclaether/re-jovial-grace-phished-by-google-20171001t055207218z

          The negligence of this will be the downfall of adwords if not adex.. go adex.. maybe this is a heads up to all invest in that coin.

          thanks for your good advice here,

          On my recent travels I commented to a fella about the crass hypertext that come with a simple google search. He said it was that was because I didn't have adblocer installed. Ok, I took his point but my issue was the trash find results that comes to a clean Virgin browser for the first time. google's algo is heavily biased and points you in google's preferences. My point is that few users get past the first page of search. Depending on what I'm searching for I use different search engines. duckduckgo and gigablast give far flung results and go galaxy wide from a tor browser. If you ever run Noscript in your browser it is a shocking way to fathom the severity of Pushing and Trawling going on. HG Wells writings "The World Brain" is good comment on the subject. As for steemit, it's a pleasure and most welcome to be at the frontier again. Long live this space and thank you for your post.
