There are a few simple rules to follow in order to avoid having your account hacked: **Rule 1:** NEVER, I repeat, NEVER use or give your **owner key** or password! **Rule 2:** Use your **posting key** to **login, post and vote** on **trusted websites** like steemit.com or busy.org. **Rule 3:** NEVER give your **active key** as this key allows to control your funds! Only use your **active key** for special operation like money transfer or account update on **trusted websites** like steemit.com. **Rule 4**: Anywhere else, if you are requested to provide any of the above key: **RUN AWAY!!!** 4 simple rules. It's not much to remember. Follow them scrupulously, and you will only have to laugh at unsuccessful attempts from scammers. Spread the words, **resteem this post to your friends**, and you will make the platform safer.
