Bitcoin Forum

- We must have our own way to keep our Bitcoin safe. The account we use must have a unique password, and not easily guessed.

- Do not equate account passwords associated with Bitcoin with other accounts such as social media, because it is vulnerable to hack, let alone the followers of its social media a lot.

- Use two-factor or 2FD authentication. Additional security layers are easy to apply. Quite a few apps like Google Authenticator as a 2FD installation provider. In essence, it works as a second security layer after the password. When you've entered a keyword into your account, the system will request a two-factor authentication code. The six-digit code does not need to be memorized because it changes every 30 seconds.

- And one more, do not trust everyone. Suppose we provide information about our Bitcoin account to our Mother, it is not impossible that our mother could just tell it to someone else. With the spread of such information will increase the potential for breaking.

the triggering part is password haha, it's too long so i take lots of time to remembering it just in case T_T

Uhm, those tips are clearly meant for people who are storing their coins on online wallets, since you're mentioning 2FA.
I would advise against giving away control of your Bitcoins to any company. It's always better to have your own secure wallet, one that gives you control over your private keys.

Two-factor Authentication isn't a perfect solution, it can also be broken in certain instances.

Use a password manager like KeePass2[1]. That way, you'd only need to remember one long password(master password), then you're other passwords would be as long as it can for maximum security(at least 40 characters). Just make sure your master password is secure as well.

OP probably had web wallets in mind when wrote this but 2FA is not necessarily pointing to web wallets only. you can have a cold storage with 2FA too.
for example using Electrum you can create a 2 of 3 multi signature wallet with TrustedCoin service which is your 2FA. this would be a desktop wallet which uses this option. it can also be used offline, although offline may be a bit weird setup!

There are some basic security measures we must take to keep bitcoins from hackers,
1.Secure your email account
2.Secure your social media account
3.Use unique and powerful passwords for all online accounts
4.Enable two-factor authentication

I just recently posted a topic about this on the beginner's section minutes ago.

For anyone who's interested: Topic: [GUIDE] Keeping your crypto secure: DOs and DON'Ts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3834677)

For me i protect my bitcoin by SMS phone verification when i want to access to my bitcoin account from another computer

I also actually only recommend using Google Authenticator, because I think the level of google security is very high and has been trusted. And the most important thing is we have to stay alert all the time because the risk always try some way to attack you.

I have some good ways to full safety your bitcoin wallet.just follow the rules.
1.you can Secure your email account.and you have must be two-factor verification.
3.you can Use unique and most powerful passwords for your wallet.
4.you can do it enable two-factor authentication
If you will follow the Rules, then I hope hacker do not hack your account.

Good sharing and thanks for the advice. I think that it will be easy to secure own account for the techie people.
So my additional suggestion is to study a bot on how to make crypto wallet well secured by googling.

I appreciate your effort in making sure people's bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not stolen because it is becoming rampant nowadays. As we read on, I hope we will have people who will share other techniques we can use to keep our wallets safe from hackers.

Use a unique email for your account,  use a long and complex password, (for coinbase) setup the Coinbase Vault and two-factor authentication for any send off-site and don't talk about cryptocurrency on social media.

If you want to be safe try to used trusted wallet like coinbase or trusted wallet in your country so you can deposit some of your money or bitcoin that you are sure that this is safe dont give your private keys or password to anyone save it into offline storage be safe.

what I do to avoid hackers is to secure my bitcoin wallet, bookmarks bitcoin wallet website, secure private key in offline and in cloud. To prevent hackers it depends on us who overcame it

Many are newcomers, unaware of the risks and security holes in the complicated yet lucrative world of cryptocurrency, making them easy prey for hackers and cyberthiefs.

2f authenticator since 2015

The bitcoin wallet client is the most effective way to ensure the security of bitcoin, because only you have the secret keys. Don't put your eggs in one basket, for example, put a small amount of money on a computer, server or smartphone for daily expenses, and then save the remaining bitcoins with the "cold storage". Both methods have strong passwords. Multiple signatures are another way to enhance security.

Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin From Hackers,
1. You should be more careful about entering email and password.
2. You must be more careful in storing your wallet.
3. The wallet should always be locked with a private key. and security

If you are storing bitcoin in your computer for sure you need to have protected computer and have an updated computer and anti-virus but as well you need to have a password on your wallet to make sure that no one will be able to access it or to make transfers but mostly for me I just used the two-factor or the authentication which is pretty good and it really gives a security in your account. You should not tell anyone that you have a bitcoin or that where your bitcoin is stored, for me I never tell anyone except my family but they don't know how it works and where do I store it to make a privacy with my coins.

for me in keeping bitcoin safe is that you should avoid giving your personal informations, passwords and etc. also avoid visiting suspicious site or sites. this will help you avoid being hacked or stolen of your bitcoin assets.

Keeping the Bitcoin wallet safe is a must. You certainly do not want to follow Bitcoiner losing bitcoin therefore you need to know the difference of public key so it is important to keep the key as safe as possible.

Thank you for sharing this post with all. I think everyone wil be benefited from this and it is a very useful post. You have mentioned most of the tips for a onlite wallet holder. What I would like to add is everyone need to be very careful regarding passwords and no way should let any company to interfere into his/her bitcoin.

I will best advice you are just careful and being over careful could cause some damage than good sometimes; leading to mistakes. In all, I will advice you keep a low profile and not flaunting what you have at all times thereby not creating awareness to hackers.

Yes that a good tips for new comers in crypto currency but  if you want more safety just use hardware wallet. This is the most secure wallet for your big funds. But if you using Myetherwallet or anything. I add using metamask to avoid harmful sites that might get your keys or passwords

tips to keep your bitcoin safe is you need to use ledger nano S includes bitcoin,litecoin and ethereum classic companions apps and other blockchain based cryptocurrencies. you can send a receive payments, check your account and manage multiple addresses for each currency from the same device and it's to far away to hack your bitcoin account lenger nano s is more secure to use it. but based in my research many people right now using lenger nano S it's easy to use it and it's look like a USB.

I try to add suggestions to use a hard wallet like ledger or trezor, because my experience if we use a device like ledger or trezzor, hackers would be more difficult to hack your wallet.

The best and simple way to avoid your bitcoin being stolen by hackers is to educate yourself from the internet you need to know what types of attacks a hacker can hack your account. Because no matter how secure a system is, sometimes humans is the greatest flaw exploited by social engineering.

To protect my bitcoin from hackers I use a good quality bitcoin wallet and use secure passwords. I regularly check my account if something goes wrong I will process it immediately. And the way to protect my bitcoin is to install a fast hacker software even if it's a bit pricey.

The tips you tell me think are quite interesting. At the point of distinguishing the password with social media is quite good. to strengthen maybe we can combine the letters, capital letters, numbers and symbols. Maybe it will strengthen. I think my wallet is safe because I always use it carefully. Hopefully tips from you can help. thank you

Your tips are very useful but I think only strong password or 2FA can't make secure enough for an account! SMS verification could be great with a strong password and 2FA verification. Though online wallet is not totally safe, they can scam anytime or your bitcoin can be compromised that's why everyone suggests The hardware wallet. Hardware wallet is The best option to secure a bitcoin wallet.

Also use Bakcup Wallet Aes Json which is encryption codes consisting of iterations, versions and payload and is used to improve the security of your password. It is very important to ensure that your personal passwords are confidential and secure. And also Backup Recovery Phrase that uses a question that consists of 12 answers, and the answer that you do not need to make, because it is provided automatically you just download it and save it on your computer.

i agree with all of your suggestion it will make us more secure than before, and i think i will add 1 tips again, dont use the public computer, because usually if you in a hurry you forget to logout your account, and maybe your bitcoin and other coin that you have will stolen by people that use that computer

This is quite interesting. Totally agreed with you. Most recommended method is Hardware wallet, then every one who worry in account saftely should activate 2FA.

This is very important in the security of our wallets so do not at all give or tell others about the safety of our wallets later we will lose our digital assets or will be stolen by others who are not responsible

There are lot of things to remember to get rid of hackers and stay away from them. Make sure that you're the only one who knows your account or share it to the trusted person closed to you. Other thing is that don't just log in your account to unknown site wherein hackers are everywhere. Always remember your password and make no one knows it other than you.

It's so interesting, I agree with you, that's quite reasonable.
There may be some additions from me, I almost never tell about my emails that I use for my wallet of bitcoin, I will also  send an email to safe it with 2fa sms.

Do not just log in to your private key online cumputer if you need to sign your token there you are logged in the private key you sure sure is doing the right thing to prevent this hacking of the fallen hakers

Hackers are the most common technology criminals. They destroy accounts, passwords and can steal our money. Protect your account with the best security against hackers. Choose a suitable bitcoin purse.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us because it's important to keep up with our wallet because our paychecks are so good that it should be secured so that it can not be hacked by anyone and the most important thing is not to give any account It does not matter who wants to borrow or borrow it because the wallet is not just for others.

There are so many options to protect my bitcoin from hackers. I personally use verification code when i used another computer for access my bitcoin account.

Hacking is forbidden in the world it is known as crime but some group of people do this and to keep safe your account this policy is great but in bitcoin hacking is very tough but though it’s a online process so it can be so we should safe from those hacker and make our account safe so we shouldn’t give password which we regularly used in social apps or any password which is related with birthday, mobile number etc but if we aware of this it can be safe from them.

We should keep our bitcoin account safe. Try not to compare account passwords related with Bitcoin with different records, for example, web-based social networking, on the grounds that it is helpless against hack, not to mention the supporters of its online networking a lot. We must have our own particular manner to protect our Bitcoin. The record we utilize must have an interesting watchword, and not effortlessly guessed. Use two-factor or 2FD validation. Extra security layers are anything but difficult to apply.

Well the risk is always there. I agree that you should use the passwords that have no connection to your social media passwords, that you should use 2FA verification, strong passwords, hard wallets etc. but the most important thing is to have your money equally distributed to more than one account! I can't stress that enough. I mean what are the odds for hackers to get all of your accounts? Think about it.

we safe our bitcion on our own way?? haha sounds cool mate. maybe your points are good, but only for those who uses online wallets bro.why don't we think something more general. what do you say?

Always use unique emails and passwords, keep offline records and don't discuss it EVER on your social media accounts.

Usually the wallet security system is almost un hackable specially the private keys unless you unknowingly gave them access too which is a common type of mistake by new to cryptocurrency world and internet basic security such as bookmarking your wallet website and trading platforms to prevent phising sites from fooling you.

Avoid downloading softwares from suspicious website and as much as possible find a provider whom you can trust, I suggest you download the legit and paid ones to prevent your devices from being infected by malwares.

good information, to be able to maintain the security of coin, I think the most important is do not trust anyone who wants to give a bonus by having to give a private key.

good tips, the tips you mentioned can help secure bitcoin from hackers.

but I think if a professional hacker, by using a quantum computer then whatever our way to protect the bitcoin will be in vain.

and hackers will easily hack every security. I never used an online wallet, and I prefer to use a ledger to store my bitcoin assets.

If you are keeping on online wallets then you are adding security to your account and balance there. But the ideal to make things simpler is you have to keep your private keys for desktop, mobile, web and hardware wallet. Web wallets are different from online wallets.
Just expose those keys on the web, create a back up, write on a piece of paper and lastly if you can't buy hardware wallet, create paper bitcoin wallet.

For me if you want to be secured The Bitcoin for hackers does not just open up other websites Unknowingly and not so trustworthy.

Fully agreed with the points you shared. I want to add a bit more. You make it more secured by creating strong password in all accessible point like email, your PC.

having a private key or any relevant info to secure our information must be totally secured.No sharing info to anyone unless you wanted them to stole your account but of course,no one like it so be CAREFUL.Lastly,be SAFE ALWAYS on browsing sites(untrusted /unwanted sites).

One of the tips I get is acceptance.It will be the system with the verification code for mobile and the hard password will be used.Don't trust anyone and don't share your password.

Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin from Hackers 1. Be careful when entering email and passwords on the site 2. make sure your email and passwords are safe in the sense of being noticed by anyone other than you 3. where bitcoin keeps make sure it's always checked and given a security key

To keep your coins on the exchanges is rather dangerous. If you choose that as a mean of storage, pay attention to such things: two-factor authentication, users' reviews and how long the service runs.
Concerning other things.
The money is recommended to be cashed or replaced to cold storage by experts.
Your password should contain a complex of digits and letters. It's advisable to fill all 16 cells. And don't forget coping it to different devices in case you forgot it.

Here are some ways:

1. Be careful from phising sites, always check the url before encoding some important details on your wallet.
2. Insert a 2 Factor Authentication.
3. Find a wallet that doesn't hold your private key, only yourself should hold those keys.

Additionally, check all addresses before sending the crypto currency, we also recommend using the QR code;
Do not download software that you are not sure is safe with;
Use the official ENS instead of all the addresses that you can not verify.

I would love to know this information. Can somebody share the experience help me? I really do not know how to keep my assets safe from hackers. I know this crime is quite dangerous and now a lot.

I want to show you one tip. Securing your software wallet is similar to protecting any data on your computer. You have to be a little more paranoid while browsing the Internet, clicking on links and email attachments.

It is important to select an exchange that is not only flexible and easy to use but also reputable and secure. You should try to follow the news. If industry leaders disengage from a project it should be a worrying signal. Repeated technical problems and strange policies are additional points of concern. Bitcoin withdrawal difficulties will always be a red flag also.

No matter how we take care our wallet if we did something wrong just once everything will be wash away. That's how you are right we must take care as long as we can and don't be lazy to take our own wallet in order to keep it safe.

You need to create backups and keep in a secure place, a backup of your cryptocurrency wallet may save you from hardware failures and a lot of human slipups. It will also let you restore your wallet in case your PC or telephone gets stolen.

Now there are many phishing sites exchanges and online wallets. Their design is the exact copy of the original. After entering your data on such site you will lose your funds. Carefully check the domain address in the address bar of your browser.

Do not use a password that is easily guessed by people and fo not use the same password for other social media accounts

Now there are many applications that support you in securing your wallet, such as the metamask application, which is an ethereum blockchain application, and we can transfer and receive ETH on it without having to. Login by key private or Json on the main page. This reduces the number of hackers who break into our wallet

We need to keep our password as complex and should not give our bitcoin email to any unknown person and sign out after working in bitcoin in any other phones.

It will be very helpful for me, thanks a lot.

You should not let anyone know your password bitcoin. You should store your bitcoin in "Myetherwallet". You have to be careful with phishing websites.

I would definitely create a unique and powerful password, always checking login activity, reviewing / deleting my emails and links when done, 2factor authentication. that way I have proven and to date my bitcoin account safe safe only.

Beware of phishing websites. I believe that its the number 1 reason why there are a lot of hacked bitcoin accounts or wallets. Simple steps like checking the URL will really help from hackers. I will also recommend that you should only open your btc wallet on your computer or your device. Make sure that you are using a secured network when browsing the internet, avoid using public wifi since you are making your devices vulnerable and exposed to hackers.

LOL this made my day ;D

Myetherewallet (MEW) only supports ethereum and ERC20 tokens so we can't store bitcoin into it.So you need to be clear with it before suggesting to anyone.

Buy an hardware wallet this is the simple tip you can do to store all your bitcoin safely.

Exactly remembering passwords is too long thats what i've observed too so i better take it down to my list rather than remembering

On the off chance that you are putting away bitcoin in your PC for beyond any doubt you need ensured PC and have a refreshed PC and against infection however also you need a secret word on your wallet to ensure that nobody will have the capacity to get to it or to make exchanges yet for the most part for me I simply utilized the two-factor or the verification which is truly great and it truly gives a security in your record. You ought not tell anybody that you have a bitcoin or that where your bitcoin is put away, for me I never tell anybody aside from my family yet they don't know how it functions and where do I store it to make a security with my coins.

i think 2fa is the most effective way to protect your account, but it is on the exchange wallet.
2fa protection will prevent hacker to withdraw the coins in your account, making it safe for you.

Please note that although passwords and encryption can protect from thieves, it is not able to put a stop to key-loggers or another malware. It is important for you to install and keep up-to-date leading antivirus and antimalware solutions. Many of them are free to use.

However, we should not visit sites that are not secure because it is dangerous, so be careful

For me I have bookmarked the site that connected to my crypto transactions, I bookmarked my bitcoinwallet website, myethereum and exchange and trading site in order to avoid phishing attacked but in internet we can't guarantee 100% of our bitcoin wallet are safe.

I just want to review a tip. Web exchanges and wallets all claim they treat security very seriously and implement all necessary protection technologies to prevent breaches and unauthorized transactions. Please do not trust these words. Such companies are not banks; they often do not have the same level of security. And even banks get robbed often.

The most important to all is to secure a bitcoin wallet, whether it is a physical hardware device or an online one. Keep your private key safe, and never keep your bitcoin stored on a crypto exchange. When you purchase your tokens from an exchange, it might be tempting to leave them there just for convenience.

One great way to protect cryptocurrency against hackers is to put the cryptocurrency on cold storage and lock it up at a bank safety/deposit box or another secure location. This takes it off of exchanges and out of the cloud, so it can't be hacked online.

If you aren't actively trading cryptocurrency, experts recommend taking it off of the exchanges.

I like the perception of your advices,because this is what ive done all my social media accounts are separated from my passwords connecting to bitcoin or other altcoin since lots of hacking involves social media if not emails.

You dont get what op wanna say,he wanted to us to never engaged our crypto things with our social media accounts that simple but reliable

In this digital world, mobile phones, hard drives, laptop’s, wallets are convenient repositories but nowadays this isn’t sufficient. It’s of vital importance
to secure your crypto wallet hard for keeping your assets safe.

Here are some of the best tips to keep your crypto assets safe and secure.

1. Securing a Wallet is similar to securing your personal data on the computer. You have to be aware of links, advertisement, any type of attachment
etc. which appears when a browser is being suffered.

2. Always create backups of your cryptocurrency wallets. So, that it will let you restore your wallet if in case your laptop or cell phone gets stolen.

3. Opening an account to buy cryptocurrency? Set up a unique E-mail id that you’re going to use for that account and never share that id with anyone.

4. Encrypt your whole device in which you are going to use cryptocurrency wallet. Make sure you have the best anti-virus installed on your device and
keep it up to date including anti-malware and anti-ransomware.

5. Set up a really hard and long password where it is only able to recover from a piece of paper that you control.

To continue

I bet your mother would not even rememeber your password even you told her to and with so many accounts that you have in exchanges and wallets, you'll keep checking your notes to know which one is the appropriate one.

I think to keep our bitcoin wallet not easily hacked by others by storing private keys in a safe place, besides we also can not use private keys on any site, and I hope that we use authentication to make it more difficult to hack.

these things are good, but don't forget about internet in social places, hardware of your PC, and suspicious sites with registration

..............and use a hardware wallet

But everyone says that btc is so safe  ??? I've heard about some attacks and steals but how is it possible??

Hacking isnt possible on the blockchain.

I would simply suggest using a hardware wallet. A brand new, not a used one.

A trezor or a ledger is the safest way to keep your cryptocurrencies.

There is a very simple way just use hardware wallets to avoid all of these problems.

Right, the most important to manage your investment portfolio is a wallet security.
for 2fa, i think it is only work in exchange wallet, if you use your own wallet, you must keep your key and passwords safe.
backup your passwords and keys in several places. Never input them in a new website or email, otherwise your wallet will be exposed.

Simple Tips to Keep Your Bitcoin Safe From Hackers Use the Hardware Wallet. This will be the best fit for your wallet. You can also use the laser nano also it will be more secure.

Bitcoin safety is obviously the most important thing that has to be kept in mind. After all we cannot just let our hard earned bucks into the hands of hackers. Usage of some trusted e-wallets is highly recommended and we have a lot of such reliable wallets available for storing the digital currency that are easy to use and provide high standards of safety. For me, Coinbase is the best place. Well there are others as well, like My celium Wallet, Exodus. That is upto you to choose the best considering your safety needs. And as far as private keys are concerned, they are confidential information. These must not be shared with anyone unless you trust someone with your life!! Because there is always a probability of such confidential information leaked if it is known to many a people.

Always use unique emails and passwords.

SMS verification is not a secure way. If you want to secure your account well, you should use the Google Authenticator app. Thanks to Google Authenticator, I have very good security of my account

Hello everyone...



             Hackers are everywhere... Especially in the crypto field. Personally, I met many scammers. we know frequently MEW wallet, Bitcoin wallet and other account are hacking daily. This is a really bad situation for all of us. But we have a solution for that issue. We know hardware wallets. We can protect our Bitcoin. Ethereum an all crypto coins through this hardware wallets. personally, I bought a Ledger wallet in last week. Now My all coins in my leger wallet, I think this is the most secure way to protect our all coins from hackers.

For me to keep our bitcoin from bitcoin is should avoid giving a personal information about you and don't giving a private key to a person you don't know personally.

I have always believed that whatever you do online is always accessible to someone with or without your permission so I am not a great fan of holding my funds on any device which is connected to the internet most of the time in a day. Thus, I use the paper wallet as my primary cold storage device (along with maintaining multiple backup copies in various geographical locations), I also use Trezor for storing my regular funds. I never keep more than 5% of my overall funds on any website.

simple things, but could make us more secure when using bitcoin. Anyway thank you for sharing !

First off I wouldn't give my private key to anyone, not even my wife. There is no point, you are only opening yourself up to more avenues of attack. Instead make a video put it in your will or somewhere safe, that way people can access your crypto and you need not worry. As for trusting our mothers, again same thing there simply is no point. Make a video and keep the information there, what mom (besides the ones that are active in crypto) needs to know you do it? None.

It is human tendency to boast about things that he has, but this is not good. It bring jealousy to others which may cause harmful consequences.

You right, the most important thing I think is to use 2fa for your wallet account and do not use the same password for each account,
because I used to be in the hacking world, using the same password, someone can log in many of your accounts, maybe your wallet, so be careful

Thanks, such a help for a newbie in cryptocurrency technology like us.

To avoid hackers is not simple, but there are way to do it. First, you should make sure that you are enrolling only in global and leading Bitcoin companies, and learn how to identify possible Bitcoin fraud. And make sure your email is save. How to secure your email; 1. Use unique and powerful passwords; 2. Check your login activity; 3. Review and delete your email auto-forwarders; 4. Review Linked Accounts; and 5. Set up two-factor authentication.

It should be a practice having 2fa from our account, we are in the business where hackers are just around the corner waiting for their chances, securing
our accounts is our responsibility, knowing and understanding more ways to defend yourself from the prey, good thing that in each aspect we can
ask google or watch youtube to learn simple up to completely secured ways protecting our assets.

use an hardware wallet, if you want to keep your bitcoins safe.

Good information here and thers that commented too. i am new to crypto currencies and i need informations like. thank you

got so much helpful information from this thread. thank you

My tip for hackers to hack your bitcoin is that you have to have your own computer in your home so no bitcoin moves you and I hide your private key do not give it to anyone who is simple I tip so that hackers can not hack your bitcoin.

got a lot of very information here. be sure to share this to my friends

do not leak personal info

You always must use a few steps to save your wallet from hackers. As for me I use only one computer and I fell write my password on a sheet of paper and put it in the case. 

Preferably you should have your own wallet secure, you can also have cold storage with 2FA.

Just another tips from me :

always verify the SSL of website you visit if you want to moving your balance. 2fa authentication is only available when you work in the exchange wallet.
and if you want to be very safe, use your main wallet on the pc (client wallet) to store almost all of your coin, and use web wallet for your secondary wallet and dont store too much coin there.

Always very careful when you are using your seed or private key. If you can, try not to use it.
Using 2fd authentication is good too, but if you are using the web wallet, you won't be able to use it, only in exchange.
and always have the backup of your wallet because many peoples lost their bitcoin wallet, makes the circulation of bitcoin lower.

I will share tips on how to secure our bitcoin purses from hackers. First, we have to keep our bitcoin wallet password safely and nobody else knows about it. Secondly, we must activate the security features in our wallet , such as activating the 2FA feature and ensuring the email address is not automatically forwarded to someone else's email. Third, we always close our bitcoin wallet access correctly and make sure it can not open automatically with the same device. Typically, the computer device will automatically store a password so we have to remove this feature. Then, we have to change our bitcoin wallet password periodically.

We don't need to save our Bitcoin password in our phone or computer that are connected to the internet. We should write a piece of paper or creat a flash drive to save our password and we should keep it in a safe place and no one knows about the information of that documents. That is the simple tips to keep our  bitcoin password from hackers.

 The wallet should always be locked with a private key. and security I have strong passwords
. Multiple signatures are another way to enhance security.

avoiding airdrop that has no clear is one of the ways to be free from hackers, because I have friends, he lost $ 500.

after he analyzed, that the main factor is that he joins every airdrop, and one of the airdrop content he chooses has a pishing form.

If we have a bitcoin password we must be carefull of such documents. We keep it in a safe place like hard wallet or we creat a flash drive and we put it in our bag that you are carry on everyday especially when we go to work. Avoid telling your friends about that information, that is my simple tips to bitcoin from hackers.

Another simple tips : always check your address that you pasted when you are about to sending your bitcoin to other address.
Your pasted address may different with the one  you copy, always careful. thankyou

but maybe before her mother you are also in love if the story or that password at the end of her do not let the love know to others, and it became a memo for your mother.

use Google Authenticator for all your accounts on Exchange, so it can add even more powerful protection.

Actually, I went through the post and most of the comments and wow learned a lot from this. And I myself use two-factor authentication for the safety and I feel like it is fully secured. what do u think?  I think it is a very secure way as I always have the mobile in my hand

All my bitcoin wallet have 2FA because ot is very helpful because I experienced before someone who are trying to access my wallet brcause of 2FA they did not open it. Your right better if your bitcoin wallet is different to social media account to not easy hack.

I'm a new bitcoin user and this will be very helpful for me. be sure to share this to my friends. Thanks a lot  :)

thank you very much for giving me some useful knowledge for me. it will be very useful to keep each bitcoin from hacker accounts. thus it will be safer in keeping the bitcoin. and can sleep soundly.
thanks

the problem if you store your passwords and private key and all your account information on your computer you have also to protect you computer very well because if any hacker get into your computer can know all your account information, you've to put all your information on an offline PC and make info encrypted  ;D

I do not use 2FA authentication in my wallet cause it really risk for me if my phone is missing. I just using email authentication to login to my wallet. It's easy to protect our wallet just because we are negligent in accessing or protecting the wallet.

The use of dual or 2FD authentication is a very effective way, in recent years a lot of hackers began to focus on the field of encryption, many people's purses were stolen, in the future this situation should be more, to maintain their own safety habits are the most important.

I believe these are very helpful tips especially for people who are storing their coins on online wallets. The 2 factor authentication is very essential and exchanges like COSS would even deactivate your accounts if you fail to activate the 2fa.However, it would be great to think of a secure offline wallet which gives you maximum control over your private keys.

I think most simple tips is to keep your password safe and use bitcoin official wallet,this is enough to keep your account safe from hackers.

Most important thing to use a  reputed exchange which is serious with security. There are some parameters to judge that :

1) Look that the exchange that you are using has some bounty program for finding bugs. The program should be old and should be paying decent money for finding bugs. This will ensure that users do not get targeted because of lack of security on exchange.

2) Give very much importance to the team behind the exchange.

As we read, I hope we will have people who will share other techniques we can use to keep our wallets safe from hackers. Securing my bitcoin wallet, bookmarking bitcoin wallet sites, secure private keys in offline and in the cloud. To prevent hackers, it's up to us who beat them.. :) :)

to prevent stealing bitcoin from hackers just use Jason file instead of a private key and use a 2fA for the sure safer of your bitcoin.

yes, all your tips above is good, i agree with that.

Strong passwords and 2FA will not do much good if the private keys are compromise, who ever owns those can simply export the wallet elsewhere and steal the funds in the account, good tips anyway, it cannot be over empasized

what about the security of myetherwallet?? myetherwallet has been hacked and i've lost some very valuable tokens, there is no two-factor or 2FD authentication on myetherwallet

I also actually only recommend using Google Authenticator, because I think the level of google security is very high and has been trusted. And the most important thing is we have to stay alert all the time because the risk always try some way to attack yoActually, I went through the post and most of the comments and wow learned a lot from this. And I myself use two-factor authentication for the safety and I feel like it is fully secured. what do u think?

try using metamask / mist and wallet hardware
and do not forget to always check MEW website address
original MEW website address always has secure information with green text on the left side address bar MyEtherWallet Inc [US]

Only one tip that will change your entire life -> just buy a hardware wallet, that is the only way in that you will always be 100% secure and you will never be hacked

Great tips. Of course BTC has a great secure system . But users can follow simple security rules to protect their money. Of course we shouldn't share private keys and password. 2FA system is a great way to save money too

it could be one of the easiest ways to keep bitcoins from hackers, but I have another safer way to store bitcoins in an external wallet. this is useful to avoid hackers hacking our storage wallet

That's the best pick to be on the safer side. These days you could see lots of bitcoin wallet service providers around, and here while creating an account you need to be careful. Some goes away packing away all the holdings in no time. Go with trusted wallet service and enable each and every security services provided to stay away from hackers.

For me, if you want your account to be secured and protected you
have to use a unique email and password for your accounts. Review
all the website you are entering before you conduct its procedure.
Be a private person specially in social media platforms

There is nothing you can do to prevent that, make sure you never expose your private key while opening the wallet and the best case scenario is to use hardware wallet to store your coins and you can connect it to MEW, if the hackers somehow takes control of the domain then you cannot do anything.
When it comes to bitcoin the best case is to store you coins in an offline wallet and never store your coins in exchanges or web wallets as you never know how secure they are.

My tips in keeping your bitcoin from hackers is create an email address that is hard to memorize then make sure you keep it secretly by your own same as the password. Do not enter also to unknown link because their are possibilies that those are hackers. Let just be responsible enough in every move we do.

useful information, thanks. but depending on ourselves, we must be careful and careful in storing important things like private key and so on .. !!

My most saved way is to create a wallet on a PC that is completely clean of any viruses and with original windows. create wallet and make back up wallet online and offline. make sure no one knows where you keep it and you always remember the place and how to access it again. and do not too often open the wallet if not too necessary. refference : personal experience.

The program should be old and should be paid decent to find fault. Gives a lot of importance to the team behind the exchange. And the most important thing is that we must stay awake because of the risk of trying to attack. And I personally use two factor authentication for security and I feel it is fully secured.

On the off chance that you are putting away bitcoin in your PC for beyond any doubt you need ensured PC and have a refreshed PC and hostile to infection however too you need a secret word on your wallet to ensure that nobody will have the capacity to get to it or to make exchanges yet generally for me I simply utilized the two-factor or the validation which is quite great and it truly gives a security in your record. You ought not tell anybody that you have a bitcoin or that where your bitcoin is put away, for me I never tell anybody aside from my family however they don't know how it functions and where do I store it to make a protection with my coins.

There are certain ways that you can do in order for your account to be safe and get rid of hackers. First thing that you must remember is not to give details about your account to anyone. Don't enter some forum which ask details about your account because for sure they are after something. Last thing that I can advice you is to keep your account with yourself.

Simple tips to keep my Bitcoin from hackers, we must be carefull of our private key or password. We don't put our password on mobile or that are connected to the internet because it is usually easy to hack. We just write a piece of paper or we can create a flash drive to save our password and we put it in our bag that we carrying everyday especially when we are workers so that it will prevent to hackers.

Secure your email account and also secure your social media accounts .

You write in great detail. Thanks for the info, it helps me to prevent hackers in a more professional way

also using hardware wallet is more safe than private key,sometime people got phised if using private key

The reason why have to keep safe private key and avoid accessing sites that asking to save your account there. Sometimes websites that we entering is phishing sites where hackers are watching for those who will be there victim. I also use hardware wallet that available everywhere I go as long as there is an internet to access.

It seems like a fundamental mis-judgement in security, if you use some type of password to begin with?
a password to an exchange? a password to an encrypted file?

I have written a more thorough guide here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3576100), while it covers mostly Ethereum wallets, the general idea applies to any crypto!

I strongly agree with this and it provides good information for your comfort and goodness together. I am very happy with this.

The only tip that i can share as far as the security of my crypto holdings are concerned - DON'T TRUST ANYONE. It's a good prevention already if you don't trust anyone specially those you don't know or any suspicious acts because some hackers employ social engineering just to get what they want from you.

Never ever trust anyone. Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous .It is one of the best way to keep you away from hackers. Please do have a strong password and keep it to yourself. We must be very careful when it comes to our password. Dont ever tell some private information of yours to anyone.

Thank you for this tips, but actually those hackers are the lazy person.

Dont share some information of yours to anyone. Dont trust anyone. You need to use a unique and long password to make sure that your account is secured.

Nice tips . I will follow your tips so that I can make sure that my account is secured. Thankyou for this information , we really appreciate how people like you share their knowledge to others. This makes me happy

this is a good idea, but let's think again about 2FA protection, because when we forget or lose the private key, then everything will be burned,
this is dangerous if we are human who often forget the memory ,.

2FA is a very good authentication option , i think all 2FA provides a key characters that can be use when you cannoy access your 2FA application.. Email also be part of it, you can use it as a security option.

How can I secure my email accounts? I have been wondering if 2FA can actually be used to secure email. Thanks for your prompt response

Basic hints to keep my Bitcoin from programmers, we should be carefull of our private key or secret key. We don't put our secret key on versatile or that are associated with the web since it is typically simple to hack. We simply compose a bit of paper or we can make a blaze drive to spare our watchword and we place it in our pack that we conveying ordinary particularly when we are laborers with the goal that it will avoid to programmers.

You should secure it with a metamask application, or use authy software for security, so it is safer for your account, before buying BTC or altcoin, you should know this way, should first Keep your account secure

at the moment there are already enough ways to protect your bitcoin from hackers, the most common in my opinion is the cold wallets.

This is a huge help for beginners like me. I alsp read other threads now about being safe from hackers. Thanks to those who have the time to make this kind of infromation and sharing it with everyone.

change the password of your wallet within a period of one month, every month the word sanddi wallet must be different, that's what I do.

Its always a must to secure all our accounts in accessing our virtual currencies. Always keep your accounts with you not shared to anyone whom you can't trust of. But still, even we value such belongings of us in this industry not to be stolen by someone, at some point, it really happens that you just woke up and your tokens was lost.

In order to keep bitcoin away from the hackers, its safe to enable 2fa, also keeping them to some hardware wallet is  must.

First i keep my private key private and also my wallet are offline not just that i change my passwords most times and i have my 2fa thats the two factor authentication so with these i feel safe from hackers

I always use 2PA. If the malicious agents steal my flogs, then they will have big problems with 2FA. This is really cool technology!

Thank you for sharing the tips for our bitcoin account to be safe from hackers it is big help for me cause now I know and aware how to care my bitcoin account we need to be careful and don't let anyone to know your personal information about your account in bitcoin keep it secret .

Personally, I use 3 measures:
1. Set a password and use special characters
2. Turn on 2FA
3. Get the code from the phone number when making the transaction

I think that you do not need to give some third-party companies at the disposal of your wallet. It is better to always have your purse, and dispose of it as you like. And two-factor authentication and a unique password is not always the best way to save your assets.

How to save our bitcoins has been the most popular problem in the industry, and it is true that using dual or 2FD authentication can better guard against hacker attacks, which I think is the best way to use the hardware wallet.

as with anything valuable, hackers, thieves, and scammers will all be after your bitcoins, so securing your bitcoins is necessary.
I recommend using Bitcoin wallets that were built with security in mind:

Ledger Nano S – Ledger is a Bitcoin security company that offers a wide range of secure Bitcoin storage devices. I currently see the Ledger Nano S as Ledger’s most secure wallet.
TREZOR – TREZOR is a hardware wallet that was built to secure bitcoins. It generates your Bitcoin private keys offline
Bitcoins should only be kept in wallets that you control.
Because Bitcoin is on the internet, they are even easier to steal and much harder to return and trace. Bitcoin itself is secure, but bitcoins are only as secure as the wallet storing them.

Other than these Tips specified for on line Wallets, we should also ensure safe-guiding our IPs. Be careful using your systems in public Places like Hotels and Parks. If there is such need, keep guard of your IPs. More so, Passphrasing could also be helpful for our on line wallets encryption.

This advice is a good and complete one that will surely make our Bitcoin save from hackers. These are simple tips to use your secure our wallet. Please lets
Lets avoid logging in our wallet in other people or untrusted devices. This is very risky and can lead to hacking. Your security is in your hands. Take it serious.

In cryptocurrency, security is one of the most important thing to prevent your data from hackers. Some of the ways to protect your data from hackers include using hardware wallet, avoid sharing your private key with people and be careful of public WiFi usage.

Bitcoin is the funniest and most intricate thing, but you should keep it confidential as it's your asset, so make sure you only sign up for the top and top Bitcoin companies and learn how to identify. Bitcoin fraud may occur. And make sure your email is saved.

At this time you must use a password that has no connection with your social media password. You also have to use 2FA verification, or a strong password with a hard wallet and others. So that your money is distributed evenly to more than one account. I don't emphasize that. 8)

Yes it can be used. I recommend you to not to use mobile number otp as 2fa (since there has been cases when sim cards got compromised and then email then accounts related to email) rather use Google authenticator or hardware 2fa and keep backup of 'secret key' and 'backup-codes' to secure location.

Thank you for sharing. I think these are the basics that some people who have been victims of scams and hackers were forgetting. Just to add, and this is just my strategy, do not lay all your cards immediately. Just play it cool. Returns will come eventually but invest only what you can afford to lose. Just my two cents.

This is a nice information and this may help us to get rid of hackers. Its nice to use hardware wallets to make sure that is more secured. There were so many hackers surrounding us thats why we need to be aware of everything.

2FA is the most effective way to apply or to use, then always bear in your mind to keep your private key, or if there is phrase seed keep it or save it on the safest usb you have and do back up with it. This is just an additional tips or advise.

Please change the password of your wallet for a period of one month, each month, sanddi wallet must be different, that is what I do. Keeping your account with you is not shared with anyone you can not trust.

To keep it safe and secured always, you should not open your password to anyone even to your closest friend. Do not save pinkeys anywhere specially on your email accounts and messengers because they are hackable. Use etherscan.io in inquiring wallet balance to avoid using the pinkeys.

Secure your 2fa keys and private keys to 256 encrypted systems. So even if someone gets access to your encrypted file you will be still secure as it will require password to decrypt that info.

First I hold my private key and also my wallet is offline not only do I change my password most often and I have my 2fa which is authentic two factors so that I feel safe with hackers. If the malicious employees steal my disks, they will have big problems with 2FA.

wow . your too conscious about your security huh . well that is more better than nothing , while most of us didnt really pay attention to our security because most of us arent really hodling a huge amount of cryptos in our purse and if ever we hold it , we dont usually keep it for a longer time . so doing extra safety precuations might seem to overated for us  .

@op , thanks for the good tips on how to secure a crypto  . that can be verry useful for someone that doesnt know how to add extra layer of security to thier accounts .

I do not understand people who tell passwords or any details of personal information to someone else. Even if it’s family or friends, I don’t think they should know that. Passwords and private keys should be stored only at your place and in a safe place.

the way we have to do is always check our account, make tangled passwords a little complicated, don't open all kinds of links that are inviting us to join in an easy way.

Keeping our bitcoin safe is not easy because there's have many hackers that have a chance to hack our bitcoin. Putting codes in our wallet can help us because it is easy for now to hack Bitcoin without codes. Be careful who you trust because sometimes they tempted to have money.

Great piece about security of assets. But despite all this I ll advise we get a hardware wallets that is the only way to be satlfe for now

No, it is easy to safe our bitcoin, as long as you can keep in your wallet without any chance to use for buying, selling, or making a transaction then you don't have to worry. The codes will make our account more secure, so they don't have a chance to hack our wallet, but this is not a 100% guarantee. Besides that, you need to keep your private keys in a safe place and only you that will know that places.

That's also important for the private account to prevent hack but usually the expertise of hacker is not to memorized the private key whether a  simply and hard private key I think  they will specialized to explore their talent to do something bad to the purpose of  their expertise searching for the entire system creating a devise to capture of our private property they don't care the feelings of other people who the victims of their self interest. So my advise is just learned enough before we accept suspicious site or  what ever suddenly pop-up to our computer.   

You now have to care a lot of your own coin and do not trust anyone but yourself now that you're kind of a bank of yourself. First privacy - never tell anyone where you hold the private key unless it's a wife or a really trusted person who can handle your affairs. You have to be anonymous online and do not store on the cloud either any of your account or passphrase or some seeds - I think you got the point. If you're looking for a Tor-based crypto I'd suggest Privcy for all the stuff mentioned.

You can add this tips. Don't use the exchanger to keep your bitcoin. Keep it cold storage or desktop wallet. Keep your private key safe. Don't share or don't put your private key any exchanger. Don't keep your private key something like google drive or any other storage. Keep your computer antivirus update.

I think the tips to keep bitcoin from hackers are to secure your email account Secure your social media account Use unique and powerful passwords for all online accounts Enables two-factor authentication

its all about Online wallets, I guess, as you are mentioning 2FA. Well, Sim-Jacking is the solution for the hackers to steal fro Online Wallets with 2FA. we should think of more strong and working solution.

Good jobs bro.Thank for your tips

Don't you think that it's more vulnerable? What if your phone got stolen and saw that you're into cryptos and so he is? It will be a game over.


Yeah especially when your private keys are on your computer and you don't have any back up. That happened to my friend and unfortunately his entire investment was gone instantly.

I think the safest is having a hardware wallet, it quite pricey but you're assured that it won't compromise easily.

so that our wallet is safe, we must also be more careful in checking everything. never do things that are careless too. because it will hurt personal status.

of course by using google authentic it can prevent hackers from stealing our assets such as bitcoin and altcoin

There are some basic security measures we must take to keep bitcoins from hackers
For me i protect my bitcoin by SMS phone verification when i want to access to my bitcoin account from another computer
1.you can Secure your email account.and you have must be two-factor verification.
2. The wallet should always be locked with a private key. and security
3.you can do it enable two-factor authentication

Besides the 2FA I'd also add the SMS verification. Better being prepared for any circumstance.

my way is my account gives me a lock and I don't give anyone my account and I keep my laptop and I take care of myself

Nowadays applications are growing and advanced technology is using apps that help with security

Yes this is good

Though 2FA is a very good security on all crypto wallets. But I must say that even that 2FA can still be hacked by some internet goons in this world and make all wallets vulnerable to serious and hazardous attacks from them. I think the best way to stole our coins is the HARD WALLET

I consider storing your passwords in the safe place, but the passwords should be really good so they can't be hacked, also clean PC is good thing to own.

Using various security measures,can help a lot,I strongly suggest you get your hardware wallets,and keep your passwords safe..

The two factor authentication is the most critical in securing your bitcoin from hackers, and it can be great if it linked to our android/iphone.
Because it's hard for these hackers to hack the wallet.

All that you disclose is indeed very appropriate, and the most important thing is that no one ever knows the password of the bitcoin wallet we have, because that is the most important part that we must protect properly.

I definitely make use of 2AF in all my EXCHANGERS where I trade and also it's not safe to leav3 huge amount of BTC in a particular wallet is good you split it out and don't save you private keys on cloud or let's say save it in your phone without a backup offline backup.

thanks you very much. These tips are so useful for me. The issue I appreciate hightest is that we use unquie account. It is completely secure and safe for us.

The simpliest way to keep your bitcoin from hackers is that make it sure that no one is around when typing your key or password. You must not save your password or key in your device.

There's actually no complex methods to secure our wallets, even the OP above is enough. The worst case only happens when the users become easy target by hackers specially dealing with offers in phishing sites.

I would advise encrypting your private wallet seeds. I personally use a 24 word meunomic phrase. Your odds of someone guessing your seed is like 1 in quintillion chance. Your odds double with a 24 word seed. Practicly unhackable.

The best way to keep safe is ti play safe in crypto. Do not save wallet login details in emails because they are susceptible to attacks due to the frequent  forms filled with our emails in crypto. Never follow unknown links sent to email addresses because these links may lead to phisphing sites.

The best way to keep your bitcoin is keeping it away from exchange. Storing bitcoins at wallet is good than staying it at exchange. You can store at soft wallet, electrum and mycellium. But be sure that you are faraway from phishing sites because this is the primary reason why we are being hacked.

Very useful pieces of advice. I would suggest using a hard wallet to secure yourself from hackers. A long and complicated password will also be helpful in keeping your crypto money safe. It is a good habit to change your passwords from time to time too.

I think that to store all of the bitcoin assets that you have, you have to be able to save them seriously and don't consider them to be trivial, because the security of the wallet that you have is very important, and make sure you provide very high security for all cryptocurrency wallets that you have, from authentic security and others such as code configuration via email and devices that are connected to you directly.

Both exchange and wallet is risky, but it will be harder if we only store our coins in wallet and not use exchange, especially for traders who need to trade their coins, they will need to send coins to wallet every they want to trade it.

The very simple thing to keep my bitcoin and other digital assets to hackers is to always take good care of my wallet's private key and credentials away from computer. I usually save them in a hard wallet and keep it in a place where i only know.

Well, I prefer with this one, 2FD is an additional layer of security for wallet ID which aims to ensure that we are the only people who can access the account, even though there are others who know our password. During this time after I used the 2FD application I wasn't worried about the wallet that we had.

As all have suggested 2FA is the most popular way to keep your Bitcoins with an added security feature.Also always check for https in the Url bar when entering your credentials in any Crypto website.Stay safe from phishing.

Use strong password for your wallet and dont forget to lock the wallet while closing your wallet.

Best way to keep your bitcoin out of hackers is to follow the right and accepted methods and majority of people who lost there bitcoins and investments have failed to do that most of the time and hackers always take advantages from those opportunities so below are some of the points that I have come across to secure bitcoin wallet from hackers,

1. It is always better If you can use a hardware wallet because unlike online wallets hackers can never hack into offline wallets and this method is much secure if you are a long term investor or you hodl token in long term

2. Always create a backup of your wallet because will help full to recover information in any case you do a mistake or an failure of your computer

3. Secure the wallet by using a strong password and encrypting it and that will be really help to protect the wallet

4. If you have an online wallet please use a two factor authentication and it will definitely ad an extra layer of security to your wallet

5. Always keep your private keys in a safer manner and never use your email accounts or other online data stores to back up your private keys in any case

Above are the once that I have come across so far and there must be more and a bitcoin holder should always stay alert with new information to secure there tokens because no one can find our bitcoins when something happens unlike in the real world when we lost fiat money so better to protect in the first place than loosing

Without a doubt if we are using an online wallet 2FA gives an extra layer of security and I haven't see anywhere that it can be break easily by hackers which is the reason most crypto exchanges provide us the same option an a significant method to follow

Thanks for posting. This is quite helpful and informative post. But mostly hackers attacking through phishing sites and they steal all information of yours. Just aware from scam sites and remember basic things into your mind.

Make a bitcoin account password as complicated as possible, but it's easy to remember, keep it well where we consider it to be safe enough, and no one ever knows the bitcoin account password we have. If we can do this correctly, then most likely the bitcoin that we have will avoid hackers.

Using various security measures,can help a lot,I strongly suggest you get your hardware wallets,and keep your passwords safe..

Absolutely correct advice, stick to them and all carefully recheck and then you will not be afraid of hackers:)

Though bitcoin promises to provide the safest transactions among all the crypto currencies or even among all the investment as its transactions does not involve any third party seizure so the transaction between two is confidential and no third person has the right to see the transaction between two and then secondly it’s transaction provides user anonymity so it is the safest among all but still hackers are very smart so for keeping your bitcoins safe, never share your keys and passwords to anyone.

By next year the popular option would be to keep your coins on insured exchanges paying you interest. i.e uphold

Maybe an additional one from me, to use the Hardware wallet, the Nano ledger is very suitable to keep your assets from hackers, just you who keep the object properly.

Good tips if followed will help protect and equally prevent ones account from being hacked. Always keep your private keys to your self.

Thanks for this useful and helpful tips mate. Basic knowledge on how to safekeep our assets in crypto is a basic requirements before entering investments of this mainstream technology. Sometimes our ignorance and carelessness leads us to give out our important private keys such as on phishing sites on airdrops and giveway programs to lure out newcomers if they are unaware of this fraud acts.

You need to be sure that your account have a enough strong password and not easily to be guessed . Remember not to give your password to anyone even person you  really  trust in

2 fa authentication is the way in order to keep our bitcoin safe from hackers. There are many ways in order to keep our wallet safe and there are also many ways for hackers in order to get the attentions of the wallet owners. One thing I could add is we must read carefully the website if that is the real one not a phising one in order not to get hack.

Ways to keep your BTC safe from scums:

1. 2fa to all your exchanges
2. donot keep more than what you can lose on exchange
3. keep all btcs in paper wallet
4. never try to tell your btc amount on this forum.

if you give or store private keys or seed phrases in an insecure place, anyone can hack the wallet

Hackers are always looking for loopholes to steal bitcoin in someone else's wallet. So protection must be from ourselves. This method might protect your account from hacker attacks:
1. Use the Password generator
2. Enable authentication Two factors
3. Secure your login ID

Do you even read the TS's post?

This is also pointless. Because you can easily check someone's amount of Bitcoin through Block Explorer, it's easy to track the amount.

Thank you Mr. Obvious.

Yet, hackers are smarter than you. They have lot of ways to hack your account.

thanks for your information

All the tips in this topic are great and very informative, should be compulsory for new crypto users to read and apply it. I would add one more tip:

Don't use closed source wallets, and especially never store large amounts of money in closed source wallets

This is not that much of a problem for people who only use bitcoin, because bitcoin has been around long enough so that most of the popular and established wallets like Armory, Electrum etc. are fully open source. But if you're like me and also use other coins and tokens, there's not that many options. The popular multiwallets are all closed source. There is never full source code for the current version on github, if you check it it's just pieces of code, or maybe code for some old release. I personally don't trust wallets like that, because I can never have 100% confidence in what happens to my private keys, where are they send, who can see them and so on. I currently use HODLER wallet because it was the only multiwallet I could find that you can go to github and compile the application from the source code by yourself.

To protect your coin from hacks, first of all, we should not give any information to anyone about our account. Because all the accounts have been hacked till date. The reason for most of them being hacked was to make the information public about their account. So you will not give such information to anyone.

It's also important to check every website you're going to visit as we may be subject to phishing. It's easy to see it by clicking on the view site information.

Thanking you, for helpful information. Especially for new entrants to crypto. I think it is safer to use a hardware wallet. So you will keep your Bitcoin much safer.

I always check that i login through a secured website I activate my 2fa authentication and most importantly I don't keep more than enough in my wallet, I have more than 1 wallet and I spread my btc

The best way for me to keep yourself from being hacked is by making yourself not a target. Many hackers try to hack your account by your very own personl information. Use only your social media to promote bitcoin but never link it to your account wallets or even the emails you use. There are other things to add in the list but the main gist of it is be knowledgeable and cautious to every move you make.

don't use a online pc to store private keys. Keep your passcode safe on linux servers so that it is away from intruders.

Trust no one but yourself, keep security as of topmost priority. Keep your wallet secured and store it in safe place. Use strong random password that is hard to be recognized by someone and that only you know about it. A backup of your wallet can also protect you against computer failures and many human mistakes.

Cold wallet + keeping passwords offline away from PC.

In addition to the aforementioned precautions, I still add or remove some figures in my wallet address and these numbers/figures are removed from the beginning, center and the end of the wallet address. Only me know the numbers/figures I removed or added and from where I remove it from. Even if you see my wallet address it is completely useless with the mutilation.

The only safest way to store bitcoins is hardware wallet, if you are planning to store bitcoins for a longer period of time then choose hardware wallets and don't store bitcoins on exchange sites because usually, hackers steal from exchange sites or from the data that is available online. Other bitcoin wallets like Coinbase etc. are also secure but don't take the risk and buy hardware wallet to store your coins.

We also wrote a blog about how to Spot a Fake Cryptocurrency Email. You can find it here :http://selflovesisters.com

Thank you for the tips that you shared to us, hope I can use it in the future. I believe that as a bitcoin user you must be control the cryptos you have, just dont depend on the wallet you have but also secure yourself and do the right things and trust no one.

Thanks. This is useful. I think doing constant research helps keep us stay informed and safe.

Based on my own experience, you should be careful when choosing friends too and who will you trust because this thing really happened in my so-called "circle of friends" when one of these so-called friends stole tokens from the other in his Ethereum wallet and why did that happen? because he shared his private key with the one who he trusts and all in a sudden all of his hodlings are gone and we detected through transactions that one of our so-called friends stole it.The lesson is never ever to trust your private key even in your best friend because money can make people do evil things that they might regret.

Never knew about this website but thanks a lot I'll try to use those and I think it would be really helpful to me but before that, I'll try to do some research about these websites that you share for maximum security purposes. 8)

in my opinion Don't match the account password for buying and selling Bitcoin or bank accounts with other accounts such as social media, because it is prone to hacking, especially those with many followers. Then, also use two-factor authentication or 2FD, the additional security layer is easy to apply. There are quite a number of applications such as Google Authenticator as the installation provider of 2FD on our platform.

i don't think it is completely safe. Hacker still can hack your account in this way.

your tips are quite clear and detail for us to learn and protect ourselves. Thank you so much.

Tips to avoid scams: https://coinedtimes.com/crypto-scams-lessons-from-history-and-recent-trends/

Make your password Alphanumeric etc

All of us are prone to hackers. To prevent to be hacked we must aware in the things they might do to hack our personal account.All of the stated above was correct. We need to have a back up to our password and do not tell to everybody how much you have on your wallet because it can be a cause to stole all of your coins, do not trust somebody to your wallet account. Its just a piece of advice that can be used to keep your wallet safe.

I think all you need to do is to have a strong password not just unique but hard to discover. You should also be aware with the sites that you signed because some them are phishing. Hoping that the moderator and creator of many apps and sites they should also trace all the accounts so that they can filter who is hacker and not.

There's really no 100% hack proof or steal proof system in place when it comes to virtual world or even in the real one. You can only go so far with multiple system to attain the highest security possible. Proper risk management is also we need to minimize the losses in security system.

paper wallets thats it

I agree, we need to educate ourselves in our personal information in investment in cryptocurrency cause sometimes we are careless to used internet, hackers are always there thats why we need to be careful all the times.

The simple measures we need to take to be able to protect the number of bitcoins we hold. And I think it is very important that you do not save your passwords in the web browser because it is easy to be stolen by hackers. This is not a measure but an advice because I see many people still make this mistake.

If you are having problems remembering your passwords there are many applications that you can use that can create passwords for you and that can store them in your computer, this way you can generate unique and almost impossible passwords to crack with just a few clicks, you will need to dedicate some time to store and to create new passwords but once everything is set up it is very easy to log in your wallets and exchange accounts knowing that they are now very safe.

And if you also add  two factor authentication then you are going to be as safe as you can be and you can forget about losing your coins to most hackers since they do not have the skills to overcome a well structured defense against them.

Good advice, but I would add-don't store your Bitcoin etc on exchanges or wallets on your PC, Tablet etc, use strong passwords-not the same one you use for email, social media etc and lastly use a hard wallet such as Trezor etc. I assume your anti virus and anti malware are up to date and your os is fully patched.

Keep bitcoin - this is a very important moment for investment. I use a cold wallet to store and do not store passwords in the computer, they are written in my notebook. I think it's pretty safe.

Keep it cold storage or desktop wallet. Keep your private key safe. Don't share or don't put your private key any exchanger. Don't keep your private key something like google drive or any other storage. Keep your computer antivirus update.

Yes you are right that is one of the way to keep our coin away from the hackers so we need also be a vigilant  for us to be safe our bitcoin. Specially those a lot of bitcoin that need to be secured but I think even you have full security on online wallet it still hackable I think you need to use hardware wallet or the offline wallet to secure your bitcoin.

All we know that hacker is all around of us so we need to be secure. I think there are some tips to make your bitcoin secure and prevent from hackers. The best thing to avoid is to give your personal private keys and password of your account or your wallet. And if possible do not talk to others even in your close friends about the amount of bitcoin and it's equevalent value when you talk xash because in that time that they know there is possibility that they have a motive to hack your account if there is an opportunity. Make your every transactions private for your own safety.

may not store important data on a computer, save all our important data on disks, do not access addresses that are unsafe and potentially crime, always monitor or examine our important data. the security of our money in bitcoin is guaranteed safe, only the entrance through the password key, then the confidentiality of passwords is the only thing we have to save separately from our computers.

I believe it is the same way like how we prevent other people knowing our social media account password. It works the same way however for this, we might eventually lose a lot of money if we are not extra careful with our wallet. I totally agree with your statements about trust no one. This is also one of the ways to keep your Bitcoin safe. No matter how close you are with them, do not let share your password spread to your cousin or friends because we might not know what will happen. Anything can happen when it comes to wealth and when they are facing difficulties.

Thank you for this nice thread, i definitely agree with you pal. The simpliest and basic securing of our account is not to make our password so easily be determined, or we shouldn't go to any suspiscious sites or called phising sites to login our account, it may be steal and hacked.

The most effective way to protect your wallet from hacker is by secure it with 2FA i guess.
But this is if only you have an exchange wallet because usually they provide the 2FA security to enhance your security wallet.
If you don't have any exchange wallet, you can use desktop wallet on your pc and backup it seed and password somewhere safe.

security is one of the most important thing to prevent your data from hackers. Some of the ways to your data from hackers include using hardware wallet, avoid sharing your private key with people and be careful with hackers

The use of google Authenticator is a good idea of ensuring you are secured. The only disadvantage is when your unlocked device falls into wrong hands. Someone who knows what google Authenticator is used for and have little insights into Bitcoin May see your account name in the Authenticator. For this and other reasons, I have decided to keep my bitcoin on a hardware wallet and it has proven to be worth.

If we share the private key it's called suicide, because that private key is very important for the security of our wallet. So we must be more careful in storing our wallet's private key.

Ofcourse, private keys are your access to your wallet. If someone has it he can steal your coins and transfer to different wallets he has access to. Always be careful if you login and avoid any risk as much as possible. Some weeks ago I wrote a detailed article about security risks, maybe you can gain knowledge: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4907130.msg44198076#msg44198076

I really agree on this. Users should have the control of their private key. There is no need for third trusted party like exchanges. This is why users shouLD be discourage to store big amount of money on their exchanges account because they don't have the full control of their own funds. After trading, one must transfer the funds on an open source wallet which gives security and transparency like what I also use called Hodler wallet.

I believe that everyone have their own security options and continuously you search for new options for your coins. I have my own ways to keep safe my coins and wallets. First of all i am keeping my coins in several places; in my bitcoin hardware wallet, in exchanges, and in my betting accounts. I believe the safest way use the hardware wallet but if you haven't got one the best way to keep your coins using some good exchanges. Because in exchanges you have google autenticator options with sms message and with email passwords at the same time. So choose one good exchange and make that triple security.

Trezor is the best way to keep safe the bitcoin in wallet and hackers can not hack the trezor at any way. Trezor using holders are totally satisfied for keeping many different coins which are supported to the trezor.

Those information you've given mate is very helpful. Ont of the reason why many people got scam or hacked is because their private keys and passwords are their linked into their social media accounts which can easily be opened of some hackers.  Offline string of wallet seeds are the best i think to do.

I always keep my password and private key in my security inbox. I always use two factor authentication and one time password (OTP) . Google verification and mobile phone verification.

Thats right, don't use the same password for each account you have, because someone can hack a site and can get your account email and password there, and they have a kind of checker to see which accounts are suitable for the email and password you have, this is simple tips to avoid hacking

I think that to keep btc from hackers it is necessary to store it in a hard wallet. To my mind, it is necessary to use it instead of the paper wallet because it is much more reliable according to the reviews of my friends who used it

Store in a safe place, which is cold storage or desktop wallet, then the private key is not stored on the computer, but save separately, for example in a notebook or manually. Always have to update antivirus.

Hardware wallets are by far the safest way to store your coins and while I think the price of one of those wallets is fair most people in the forum cannot really afford one so they need to deal with the problem of how to secure their coins when they cannot afford one of those wallets, and the best way to do that is to install your own wallet in your computer in an operating system that cannot be easily compromised.

Hey my suggestion is simply make an Electrum wallet, make sure you do not share your password, private key and seed with anyone, write it down somewhere for your rememberance. Also time to time clean your machines using anti virus tools, to make sure you do not have virus that can steal your coins. Lastly but the most important one, do not use your wallet to transact on a public wifi.

The best tips for keeping bitcoin from been hacked is to use google 2FA on all your exchange wallets and ensure to bookmark all sites that leads you to your favorite crypto sites.

Thanks for this information because most people really fall prey to the attacks of these hackers and this drags the image of crypto in the mud. However i also share this same opinion that the best way to keep your bitcoin safe from any third party attackers is to keep your cryptocurrency on a hardware wallet. Stay safe guys!

Yes you are right this is the way to keep our tokens and avoid the hackers but additional  thing to keep our token safe. Why don't  try the offline wallet or we called also hardware wallet that is look a like flash drive that you are storing your token in offline and hackers  doesn't  locate or hack you bitcoin because it is not connect on the Internet that can access by hacker.

Such informations are given by sites and applications once you want to use their services. And I think almost everyone knew it already. But also remember that our safety does not only depends on how we protect it but also by the wallet we used. So better choose a better wallet!

Thanks for some tips about keeping bitcoin from hackers. That is a big help for us, holding our bitcoin. Also my tip is do not paste your private key to any sites, and if your bitcoin is in the exchange site, i suggest that your password will be unique with numbers, capital letters, etc.

Great tips. I don't think anyone should even be posting about their crypto on social media because this sets yourself up to be a target. Social media is a very common tool for hackers to attempt to steal from you. It's better to stay humble anyways, the only time I see people posting about investments on social media it's to try and brag about a profit.

In fact, you will really help the most basic compliance with simple rules. Not trusting your keys to anyone and keeping them in a safe place is very important. Never neglect it, hackers come unexpectedly.

Agree with what you say. I also use 2FA for my bitcoin wallet.
  2FA really helps maintain the security of our assets, because 2FA they will have difficulty in hacking our assets. Maintaining the security of our assets is important. Your rights are better if your bitcoin wallet is different from social media accounts, names, etc. so that assets are not easily hacked, that also for our own security.

To keep our bitcoin and our token safe from hackers is always keeping safe our private key. Never share it to others people. Beside that, right now many ways hackers to steal our coin in our wallet, they sometimes sending a malware to steal our data. Never visit suspicious link and its much better if we using hardwallet
