Ok so I might of been taking the piss a lil with this thread, I realise there is plenty of computer geeks here (being an internet forum and all) but equally i see there are plenty of people who aren't exactly the most tech literate getting into crypto currencies.
Theft of coins has been a big problem in the past and will continue to be in the future.
ALWAYS use two factor authentication on exchanges, if you don't who what it is or how to use it find out.
Keeping your wallets stored outside of the pc you use every day is also important aswell.
