Wow, is mymonero not safe? How did people end up losing it?
That makes me real worried now, dang
The issue isn't with MyMonero itself. The service never sees your private key and thus can't steal your coins. The danger is if you misspell the domain you might end up on a scam site that looks like the real one, only it steals your key and empties your wallet. Also, if you log into MyMonero from a malware infected computer your private key could be logged as well.
Basically, typing your private key onto an internet-connected machine will always carry risks.
This and or accessing anything from a phone. You dont know what is on a phone. The first thing you click ok to can install anything.
Ill also add never ever use a free wireless. Or even avoid wireless that's not secure.
The thing is you never know if its the real wifi or a person with a laptop impersonating the wifi. So you join, log into banking and boom they can capture your session and carry it on when you log out.
Hotels etc. its all the same the wifi name hotel guest wifi might well be just some guy snooping for suckers.
