Online Safety Talk .:. Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.48 (Wednesday, September 24th, 5 PM UTC)
If you have checked some of my recent posts, you probably know that I had some big issues regarding my (ex) hosting business... My server was hacked multiple times, it was under a DDoS attack many times, and all in all, it was a huge mess... Could I avoid all that? Probably I could, at least partially... Patching old scripts, keeping passwords safe, upgrading the system, etc. All this hassle gave me an idea for the next #HHHLive show, so we will talk about safety online... Not just the things that happened to me, but mostly about things that we can prevent, especially in crypto, where we are dealing with private keys, and money in general... It's crucial to keep our wallets safe!

As I was dealing with all kinds of hacks, malware, viruses, etc. in my life, I will share some of my experiences in the past... Of course, I made mistakes in the past and I paid the price many times, and those lessons are the most valuable of all! Also, learning from our mistakes is useful, but it's not a guarantee that it will not happen again... The scammers and hackers are developing new tools, new ideas, new approaches, combined with AI, the future could look ugly on that side... That's why it's important to exchange experiences and to help each other to stay safe!

So, what would be the #HHHLive show about?
I would like to keep this show open for discussion! Don't want to have a monologue in the show, but rather a conversation among participants about the best practices to keep yourself safe online... From the tiniest things, like picking the right hardware to work on, operating system, crypto hot wallets, cold wallets, where to keep your keys, etc.
- Have you ever been hacked? How did that happen? Tell us more about it...
- In your opinion, where is your weakest point? How could you fall into the phishing trap? Being aware of our weaknesses could help us a lot!
- How do you keep your crypto wallets safe?
- Do you own any hardware wallets? And if you do, which one and why?
- Have you ever lost your wallet (real one or crypto)? How did you recover?
- and more...
I hope you will help me out to keep the show dynamic by participating in this very important discussion... The future is online, and more and more of our personal data is available online... Some private, some public, and we need discussions about these things more than ever!
⏰ The show will begin at 5 PM UTC on Wednesday, September 24th! Check your local time here ⏰

How was the last show? Because of my personal issues, we had the last #HHHLive show almost a month ago! It was a special edition show where we were talking mostly about different Hive-Engine tokens, but also about some ideas of participants in the show... There was no official recording of the show, but you can check out the written recap in this post.
For all the participants, there are some LEN tokens for attending the show and some special rewards (in Ecency POINTS) for those who are the bravest and come on stage during the show!!! Don't forget that NOBODY is obligated to talk in the show, so you CAN come to listen and engage with others in the text chat... 😉

yeah you never know ....
Hahahahah... nice GIF! 😂
See you tomorrow at the show?
i'll try to be there :)
Getting hacked by phishing links or exes is quite hard, I mean pretty obvious is a scam,I have never fallen for that as you immediately notice weird domains and also on emails you can see all sender details and stuff with a right click
All that stands, when you are concentrated on what you are doing... I have described in the previous post (I think), where I got a phishing email that blended so good among others, that I almost fell into a trap...
It could happen if we are careless...
It's an interesting topic, and man did I learn quite a bit as a kid when I got hacked in the games that I played. You learn alot from facing them.
Oh, that's interesting! I didn't even think that much in the past with the hacks through games... How was it for you? Can you remember some interesting anecdote? It would be interesting to share with others...
I have definitely had some attempted hackings. On my Google profile as well as social media platforms. It's happened to many people I know, and if I lose my Facebook profile it would be devastating since I run several pages... and that's my life history, basically, since 2007. The most important thig is to make sure you have security options set properly and as soon as you notice suspicious activity, to act as fast as possible.
Speed is crucial in those events! Immediately taking action can save a lot of hassle, and reduce the damage...
Congratulations! Your post has been personally curated by me @clairemobey as part of the Busy Bees community engagement initative!

This will be an important show! I'll be there.
I hope people will share their unpleasant experiences from the past... It can be painful to talk about it, but it can be a good lesson for others...
See you soon!
The only way we can avoid hacking is making sure our passwords are safe and never share it.
Great hang out
