Excellent post! Following and resteeming. This stuff needs to be said over and over again so people can understand how this all works.

I would also encourage everyone to **use a password manager** like 1Password. If you know any of your passwords, they are probably already insecure and/or you are vulnerable to phishing attacks.

*Cybersecurity starts with you.*

1) Keep your OS up to date with security patches.
2) Always run an updated antivirus system.
3) Use a password manager like 1Password (you shouldn't know any passwords, they should be generated for you automatically).
4) Don't download or click on stuff you don't trust.
5) Don't ignore warning messages! (Also, don't click on pop ups which pretend to be legit warning messages).

While we're on the topic of good computer behavior, I'll also throw in: **have multiple backups**. Without them, if you lose your private keys or encrypted password database, you'll have a very sad day.
