These hard times are still bearing some loads of burden upon many of us and who wouldn't appreciate some free money to lessen the burden.
Some sure baits would be out here particular at this season and towards the end of the year, but it is not worth it to loss your wallets and hard earnings to some cheap tricks.

It is either you give maximum protection for your hive account or be ready to loss some mass of memories you have saved in blocks here, not just about the money alone this time around.

Here are some safer ways you can participate in airdrops without losing your head.

  • Saving your keys offline and away from devices often used go click any link.

It will be a great idea to have either two mobile devices or a side device that can keep your passwords offline and safe such that even when you click on phishing links no password will be found on devices in use.

  • Keeping relevant informations off your mail.

Some have made a previous mistakes saving their passwords in their mail box hoping to keep it safe.
But mail boxes are easily hacked and any password saved there isn't safe at all.
Its best to keep your passwords off your mail boxes.

  • Set up apps and devices that can detect viruses and phishing links and filter out harmful items off your devices.

While searching for free money, ensure to keep your hard earned money safe.

At this moment and period, one has to be careful not to lose their money. Recently, I have been removing my passwords I saved on my mail because it's risky.
