Can someone more knowledgeable than me in regards to this vulnerability tell me:

1. How to best protect my local personal data from being subject to this?

2. Whether I should seriously consider pulling all my cryptocurrency off of any exchanges?



from my understanding:

1:

- install security updates for your OS - if it's not ready yet: disable JavaScript in your browser by default and enable it only for resources you trust. otherwise just skip the page. execute third party code with extra caution. any suspicious code should go away (even not inside vm)

2: as long as it's stored in a wallet on your own hardware which you fully control, it should be safe enough


2. Don't ever store large values of cryptocurrency on an exchange. Keep them offline in paper or hardware wallets.
