Deeponion is a very safe currency but like any system its security can be violated.
We are not questioning DeepOnion, on the contrary, we question the human factor.
I want to give you some simple tips to keep your onions protected because once you lose them you can not recover them .. then it is never wrong to prevent…
1. Keep your software updated
Keep up with the official DeepOnion news. Before any update in the wallet for any operating system do not hesitate to download and update it since sometimes the best are not only visual.
2. Use double authentication
Remember to activate double authentication in the exchange sites.
The double authentication factor is a process used to verify your identity when accessing a web service.
It seems incredible, but it almost does not matter that you use very long or complex passwords nowadays. 99% of passwords are stolen through phishing processes
3. Make backup copies
Once you have made these copies, encríptalas with other services to make them virtually incorruptible.
You can save the copies in cloud storage services, pendrives, SD cards, etc.
4. Safe onions outside the network
This is one of the most complex processes but it can add a very large layer of security.
The idea is simple: If you have to prevent anyone from stealing my private keys, I'll store them in a place disconnected from the internet. That's why I advise you to create a paper wallet

5. Keep your PC clean and safe
Update your operating system and keep it clean of malware and strange extensions in your browser. Remember that nowadays the most used technique to steal personal data is the pishing.
Only you can protect your onions. If at some point you are unlucky enough to be robbed, you will not be able to claim them but if you take the precautions early you can reinforce your security and prevent this from happening.
Good luck.
