# Network Attacks

The internet is a complex set of interconnected systems that can be attacked at many points. For example, [MyEtherWallet](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/24/myetherwallet_dns_hijack/) was attacked through the DNS system, leading users to believe that a fake website was real. This resulted in the attacker walking away with $150,000 in funds. A [similar attack was performed](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dns-poisoning-or-bgp-hijacking-suspected-behind-trezor-wallet-phishing-incident/) against Trezor's web wallet. Other network attacks are possible from exploiting server vulnerabilities or configuration errors to gain access to crypto keys.

**Mitigation:**&#x20;

* Don't use services with a single point of failure that could result in a high-value honeypot for attackers.
* Use sovereign key management where your keys aren't kept on networked services.
* Never ignore HTTPS error messages on sensitive websites.
