Bitcoin Forum

its been half of 2018 and we have seen a lot hacks issue in crypto industry, exchanges, pools, traders everybody is being affected by this hacks.

what is the solution as i see hackers will not leave this chance as this industry is still in development mode( early stage).

is DEX are solutions for traders, let me know !
BTC

1. Use a hardware wallet. If you can't afford one, make sure your PC is clean and use an open source desktop wallet (e.g Electrum) that give you control over your private keys.
2. Don't store your funds in exchange for a long period of time. Deposit, trade instantly and withdraw.

Well, Etherdelta has also been hacked before so I dont think DEX can be s solution.
To avoid being hacked I suggest you to buy a hardware wallet and also buy two PCs. On the first PC, use it for crypto related purposes and never visit any website which are not trusted. Only use it for living to your exchanges and checking wallet... . On the second PC use it for normal purposes.
Never use the same email for more than one exchange. Also never use your exchange email address to signup for ICOs or airdrops or any other site . I know an ICO who sold its user's emails without their knowledge so create a different email for ICO and airdrop purposes.

This, and actually write down the seed on a piece of paper. I can't believe how some people actually buy hardware wallets but save their seed on a .txt/word file or their mobile phone's notes app. I can't believe how people with 6-digit portfolios be THAT careless.

They said that decentralized exchanges are not vulnerable to any hacks, except for etherdelta. Majority that I've read about recent exchange hacks came from centralized exchanges.

Binance also announced that they will be developing a decentralized exchange.

when everyone starts a new exchange without spending time and money to increase its security first this is what we are left with. a terrible market with lots of shitty altcoin exchanges that get hacked left and right.
otherwise the big exchanges are rarely subjected to this kind of hacks. for example Cinbase. i don't know any cases of any major hacks or anything like it.

the solution is for them to increase their security, use cold storage,...

of course using decentralized exchanges is always favorable for users but it is not as easy unfortunately and they don't offer the same thing.

Many really good hackers are good here to take care of your bitcoin account to protect your private key so hard for hackers to steal your bitcoin.

Agreed. If your bitcoins are not in an exchange, they can't be included in the hack. Then it's just the issue of securing your own wallet.


Seriously? I mean, it's probably fine if it's just a few hundreds in the wallet (maybe it's for purchases) but if it's a large amount, you can't risk it. In my early days, I made a voice recording of me reading the phrases and sent it to my own email. Never been hacked but I'm not repeating that again.

Why would that be risky? If there's no internet connection on a clean pc and put it into a usb-stick? One back-up and put them into a safe location.

What I was referring to are actually personal home computers and mobile phones, hence, chances are that they're connected to the internet most of the time. Also, I wouldn't hear complaints about these stuff on social media if the seeds we're actually backed up properly and securely.

Hackers mainly focus on exchanges, so try not to store their coins on the exchange, so that they can be relatively safe against these hacker attacks.

They think that it's secured as long as they keep the private keys/seeds on their phone but they didn't recognized that it is still connected to internet once they access to the web.

I can't understand too why they are too lazy of writing the keys on a piece of paper and paste it to any of their books or any secured storage.

It's easy and won't take that much time and effort but they are choosing to save it on their mobile phones and txt files, this practice shouldn't be adopted by newbies.

We cannot really 100% avoid hacks but we can lessen the risk of being hack if we do our research. We must also understand how hacking is done so that we can avoid being hacked. If we have no knowledge on how this things works then we could bite the traps that the hackers are sending us. So I guess we must avoid suspicious links and stop clicking it also we must install anti-malware such as bitdefender so that trojan could not access our data. There are many ways and things to do what wee need is to make our research.

The easiest way to protect yourself against losing your crypto currency is to purchase a hardware wallet. There is nothing easier. You spend one time about $ 100 and do not worry about the fact that something will happen to your assets. You are not even afraid of viruses and trojans on your computer.

the safest solution to avoid the loss of hacker attacks is, keep your personal information well.
especially the personal key of your wallet.

It's true, I've seen a lot news about hacking and this has unsettled Bitcoin and other crypto users. the solution is to minimize the possibility of Bitcoin gap, but this becomes a very difficult homework, tentuntya will involve experts.
Dex (Decentralized Exchange) is a decentralized currency exchange that does not involve third party services, in this way dex is able to reduce the hackers gap.
Dex may be one solution to avoid hackers, but this system must be quickly developed again so as not to give a bit slit against Hackers.

What if it corrupts or you lose it?

Hardware and paper wallets is a good choice and then its your responsibility to protect your private keys and we all know that there's a lot phishing sites so bookmark the legit and don't enter it because you might end up on a fake site.

I also agree that DEX is not the solutions, because hackers will always be there at our back looking for that perfect time to exploit and steal our funds. We might be clamouring for exchanges to be very vigilant of any suspicious activity on their front and back end and make the necessary adjustment in cases of a potential hack (like suspending withdrawals).

My strategy is not to put cryptocurrencies in the exchange's wallet!
Put the cryptocurrency in your local wallet and wait until you need to trade to go to the exchange's wallet!

I think this is also the right decision so you can not hack your wallet or bitcoin with the correct advice raised by the lifting
 we must follow the correct statement
to avoid hacking accounts.

They target anything that is going to be a treasure chest of money and coins full. Not something that is going to be a farmers' piggybank, obviously. Exchanges have a lot of coins in store for the customers who are using the exchange and the funds of the exchange. Now it is not possible to always withdraw all you balances because trading goes on with new orders being placed and new more deposits coming in. People who do arbitrage again has to have funds ready to deploy.

For the long term though one should try to keep a decent amount withdrawn away to local wallets and not keep them on exchanges.

You just follow the 3 Ways to Protect Against Hackers 8)

1) Cold storage devices locked up at a secure location
2) Don't leave crypto on the exchanges for more than is necessary for trading
3)Two-factor authentication is a must

You can't avoid the risk completely but you can minimize it.
Avoid web wallets and don't keep your coins at exchanges. Also use more different types of wallets and don't keep all your coins in just one wallet. Use updated antivuris tools on your computer and mobile phones if you use them to access your wallet.

As i can see the easiest way to protect yourself against losing your crypto currency is to purchase a hardware wallet. There is nothing simpler. You spend one time about an amount and do not worry about the fact that something will happen to you.

Remember that even banks can be hacked/ stolen so we cannot make sure that cryptocurrency is not hackable. You should use hardware wallet because it is much safer than online wallet.
But the developers are working every day to make the system safer and work better.

Hackers can not be stopped but measures should be taken to avoid been attacked my hackers.  One of the safest & easiest ways to store your ETH, Tokens, ETC, BTC, and many other coins is via a Ledger Nano S or TREZOR. Both are hardware wallets. Both work with MyEtherWallet.com. And both cost less than $100 ( < 0.1 ETH ).
Use MEW Locally / Offline.
For Token Sales: do not trust any address except the one posted on the official site.

Some of the solutions I will like to suggest is that,
We shouldn't access our wallets or trade on a public computer

Seems the consensus is that a hardware wallet is best but for us who can't afford it or don't have a large pile to warrant such a purchase, basic internet protection should do. It would be best to have a separate PC/device for the software wallet but if even that is not possible, just try to avoid visiting shady sites, bookmark stuff that might get phished (for example the MEW site) and regularly update the antivirus software.

Higher level of security would lessen the risk of hacks. It will not give guarantee that you won't be hacked but the fact that it lessen the odds, it's worth the shot. Individual hacks/wallet hacks could be handled by securing private keys by writing it in a paper and not storing it in a PC or phone. Exchanges should increase their security by having some algorithm that could encrypt their server password. They could provide multiple levels of security so if one is penetrated, another wall is there to block. There are many ways of increasing security for software based systems and exchanges should take security in one of the top priorities.

Decentralized exchange does not offer you the security that your account wont be hacked. Your safety begins with yourself. How you backed up your wallet , and be cautious when entering a site that look phishi and other things like the use of google authentication is needed to avoid hack.

Opening the wallets on a public computer is the last thing you can do. Its like fooling with to a street escort without using any protection. Definitely going to end you up with an STD/in this case loss of funds. Why would you even trust a public computer that has been "used" by every lowlife in the world to open you precious money-loaded wallets?

What would you do if the Decentralized exchange was already cloned and you are visiting a clone/phishing site? :)

Keep your password and private key to yourself only. Never open your account using a public computer.

I use Coinbase to keep Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it has never hacked. I see that users were hacked because they have disclosed their information, just good personal information protection I am sure your account will never hack.

I have no problem about hacking, currently I rarely to open my wallet. most hacking is a result of self-neglect, well if the problem of this decline that makes me sometimes disgusted.

I think the best solution is to get a hardware wallet or a paper wallet
Keep it save just as you keep your life save

Best solution is we need to store bitcoins and other currencies in hardware wallet like trezor and also use 2FA security with your exchange where u hold Ur bitcoin also Ur mail id need 2FA security. people need to update their system and never click on any link without verify this email is authorized also never hold longer Ur bitcoin in exchange.

If you keep your coins in Coinbase and sleep soundly thinking everything is safe and sound then you are living in a fool's paradise. It can get hacked anytime and you may lose funds or lose time while the site comes back. Both of which are serious problems for any person who is active in trading and is spending crypto continuously.

You should adopt a desktop or maybe a smartphone wallet to store your coins. Desktop would be best.

Its not new thing in crypto world and these hacks already started a few years back and started growing significantly since the price of bitcoin soar last year. I think using hard wallet still become the best solution for me if you're storing bitcoin. If you're going with other coins & tokens then you should become paranoid and aware with your computer security and the thing i learned based on experiences is not to store your private key where somebody can connect and steal it online. Just write it in a piece of paper or other offline method.  ;D ;D

The solution is we need to educate ourself how to protect our cryptocurrency wallet with the best method.
Most of the hacking cases i believe it is because personal mistakes such as exposing private key, get phished, forgot the wallet, lost wallet, no backup, etc.

We can't control hackers for what they usually did.They made many ways to hacks each account.And I think the best solution to prevent hackers to hacks our account is to use hardware wallet.But for me it's OK to use the wallet you usually use just make sure to keep it safe and when you open your account it's better to check properly that you log out

No such event occurs when no one passes their passwords to another year about company or accounts that are important to prevent thieves from being stolen.

This is true. You should try to use hardware wallet. Hardware wallet is recommended wallet for bitcoin users that are keeping a lot of bitcoins on their accounts. Well, if you are not using hardware wallets, I suggest that you must secure your accounts from Phising links and sites. We all know that there's a lot of links that bitcoin is involved but we must try to observe these links first before dropping your accounts. Make sure to put back up email accounts in your accounts and also phone numbers in it (in case of emergency). Always log out your account at all times. Think before you click.

 I see that users are hacked because they have disclosed their information, only the protection of personal information is good. I'm sure your account will never be hacked. I use Coinbase to keep Bitcoin and Ethereum, but and I never hacked.

In this modern age, security is an important and expensive issue for Any industry.  Cryptocurrency platform is one of the easiest victims. We should be careful and stay alart about the hacks.

My token is always into my wallet. I keep it safe by viewing it offline. Doing it online is very vulnerable to hackers, they have so many ways on how to hack the wallet of others. The safest way to keep our token is keeping it on a hardware wallet.

The safest thing is for you to use a hardware wallet. Also since most of the recent hackings is in exchanges, you should not store you coins in exchanges. Just deposit to exchanges when you are trading then withdraw when you done. your coins should lwasys be in you personal wallet.

You have to be very secured and be careful during entering any private key or putting your personal information.
Be aware from phishing sites. Sometimes hacker does't steal money or tokens, may be you lose by your own mistake. So just read and learn this will be very helpful for you.

I think that we need at least a minimum regulation in this area. Then such cases will be much less.

No solutions at all. 100% security won't ever exists.
You can be safe only if you're not using an internet connection.

The fight against hackers is endless and inglorious, because the impression is that they are always one step ahead of the solutions. There will always be people wanting easy profits and stealing the wallets of others.

To fully ensure the safety of your savings, you need to be a bit paranoid. Follow all the rules for the safe use of wallets and accounts, which is quite difficult and inconvenient.

There is a big problem. Knowing the identity of the hackers needs to know all the users and it's quite the opposite of what has been the purpose of cryptocurrencies.

Actually DEX is a good exchange, volume cannot be faked, cannot be hacked because using own wallet unless you come into phishing site requesting your private key or seed or passwords. The solution is we must educate ourself to know how to protect our wallet with our security knowledge.

Perhaps prevention or avoidance will be helpful. Its our major responsibility to protect our virtual belongings from those hackers though its really a difficult one to get rid of them but it will always be better if we do. Security measures always dependent to us. Secure the things we are using in accessing our virtuals and be aware enough not to deal with someone or something really suspicious.

I agree with OmegaStarScream's recommendation. These things are quite simple to follow, but for some reason, people don't do it and then get hacked or scammed.
Remember those two rules and you'll avoid most of the problems with your account.

One solution is for investors to purchase hardware wallets and not trust third parties with their digital assets. Decentralized exchanges could help reduce these attacks, but they too might be vulnerable. Users should be very careful about storing assets on exchanges.

The best solution is that don't access public internet and keep your personal information in hardware wallet

Never leave your crypto-coins at your brokerage firms, they are a transaction space, not a storage space.
Also make a weekly backup (or as often as you think necessary) of your wallets offline, you can even print it if you feel it is necessary.

Even DEXs are vulnerable from hacks as what happened on Etheredelta last year ago. Im wisely trading now on exchanges with solid reputation  and I did back up my wallet tightly, also be careful from phishing websites and bots pages and false scheme offerings. Always enable All security features of the sites once you're logging in.

There's no guaranteed solution because if there's a way to create something, then there's a way to destroy it. Hackers are getting smart each day and that they will find a way to bypass a security. The only thing that a person could do is to stay the funds away from exchanges and just store it in a safe hardware wallet where the only person who could access it is the owner itself. That way, you could prevent any hackers to you and lessen the damage that a hacker could do. I think DEX is a find solution too because the funds are in the hands of the owner, not the exchange itself.

Exactly my point. People see money in exchange business and start it with a poor foundation. As a result lack of security, performance becomes troublesome for the traders. Developing an exchange surely requires research especially in the security aspect. Implementation of security standards, maximum use of cold storage and other preventive measures such as withdrawal from whitelisted IPs can be considered. Timely evaluation of the exchange, external security audit, cross-checking of wallet balances can also be added.

Decentralized exchanges are yet to pave their way as it is not yet adopted by a majority of the users.

it is true that hackers will not remain silent to steal it all, and I suggest we should be more careful and make double security or we can use 2FA.

I am first affected by hacker in december 2017 it's happening with etherdelta exchange.I lose more than 7,000$ this is my life tragedy i never forget this incident.Basically i suggest don't import your private key in any exchange than you can safe.

There is no solution to stop hackers from stealing cryptocurrencies from people and exchanges. The only solution is for all users to be more knowledgeable on how to protect their money and be careful on where to put or store their cryptocurrency investments and it is simple, never use exchanges or any online wallet services as a wallet or storage because they are prone from hacking and inside job to steal money from their customers. The best thing to do is generate your own private key and use paper or hardware wallet.

I think the best solution is to improve the site's security. For it will also protect the user's account it will also protect the site's sources. "Improve security, less hacks"

I dont think Decentralized exchange is a solution. Etherdelta was hacked once and lots of private keys were exposed. Hack is a real time issue right now and centralized systems should increase their security.

Now days  hack is a  normal matter . But you have to be aware of yourself. Your computer's security must be kept safe.

Decentralized exchanges provide a more secure and fair way for users to exchange digital assets for a whole host of reasons, and as the general public grows in blockchain savviness, we’re likely to see a move towards holders of digital assets wanting more control and security in their engagement with exchanges.

Among the most pressing issues with an over-reliance on centralized exchanges is security. Every week it seems, there is a new report of a major hack at a centralized exchange, with stolen amounts ranging in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hackers are now much smarter and they can get a lot of money out of their investors by hacking into their wallet. Besides, there are some very talented hackers who can knock down the trading floor and rob all the money. So I encourage people not to keep too much money at the exchange.

The best thing to do is awareness, if we can be careful and always update the antivirus then we can eliminate the hackers opportunity to hack, and there are many ways to keep your coins save, you can use offline wallet or hardware wallet, if you used online wallet then you can used multiple layers of security, and the most important is to aware that exchanges is not the place to store your coins

The sulotion  of this is be careful. Don't visit the unknown site or never enter your private key. Your password, private keys or any account you must store them in a secure storage. Use metamask for decentralized platform. Never trust  a link from your email and always check the url address everytime you enter your private key and password

this year is the hacking year, and hackers are more dominating to hack the exchange, so, I think do not save assets in wallet exchange is a preventive action to avoid hacking.

the hacking is FUD that dominated today.

As we all are aware with this fact that bitcoin is entirely a decentralised crypto currency and there is no such proper authentic regulating body who could keep eye over all these illegal activities related with bitcoin until county legalise bitcoin in their nation and I think this is the only way that all the illegal activities of bitcoin will be stopped once it will get legalised all over that world, though there will be increment in the bitcoin transactions fee but it will be beneficial for the whole world.

most hackers only look for errors from crypto users. which I know usually they use a random system to target. this is caused by the negligence of users who do not put their security first.

Hack seems rampant now, which will be a major challenge to the crypto world, this might scared away so many people that are willing to invest,most especially those that want to be trading on regular with centralized exchange but DEX has not really solve the issue of safety when trading on them which is another option, I think regulation is most important now to curb the act of hacking.

You can minimize your chances of Getting Hacked by 3 steps

1- Use hardware wallet for your coins
2- keep small amount of your coins at your online wallet
3- use 2FA

It is really sad and painful that when one is working hard legally to make a living, a criminal is out there trying to take away your sweat and all you have worked or laboured for. My advice to those who can afford it is a hard device wallet.

Yes right now, the number of hackers is increasing every day in the crypto world. And many are losing everything by becoming victims of this hack. But I think it is very difficult to deal with, because I myself was a witness, my closest one could not protect his wallet by keeping it Strict security.

The security of your bitcoin or even your cryptocurrency is in your hands. It would be your fault if it gets hacked because you are the one who should be able to take care of it. One way to ensure this is through the use of a hardware wallet that is really safe but is also expensive. Or you could just use some of the well known wallets out there like the blockchain and make sure that all the information regarding that wallet is hidden and can only be accessed by you. You should also check the device that you use because it might have some keyloggers so its better to install an anti malware. Its really up to you on how you will keep yourself safe from the hackers these days.

I believe that many hacking-exchanges - it's just a fake from those very stock exchanges. Because there were really very big break-ins, and I do not think that the exchange could not stop it
But this is purely my opinion ???

Save ur coin in wallet u have the private key , move it to exchange when u are ready to sell and withdraw ur fiat

The fight against hackers begins with ensuring your own security. It is worth keeping most of your crypto assets on "cold" storage - that is, disconnected from the network. On exchanges and online wallets, keep only as much as you are ready to lose. Remember: your choice of the degree of safety affects not only you, but also the ecosystem on the whole.

keep your online wallets email unknown from others people.do not use wallet email for sign up in others website.
and keep ur fund on cold storage or nano wallet.
i think this can help you to protect from hack.

No Dex aren't the solutions for the crypto traders as there have been a lot of smart contacts that have been affected in the past and a lot of money was compromised in those hacks so the best strategy for those exchanges is getting the best of the technical teams and always keep on auditing their security periodically for any weakness in their system and if any then rectify those problems and continue to do the same in the future.

First of all there is no such issue about the scamming and hacking of your bitcoin wallet because it is very safe and confidential and it is like next to impossible to scam a bitcoin wallet because of its multi level security but still there are chances and few people has also reported that there are the cases where they has been scammed and I think for them the best way is thy should keep their wallet passwords and keys very very private and confidential otherwise it is very difficult to hack any bitcoin wallet.

There is no other solution than an offline wallet or hard wallet like trezor

The best solution is to build a well-diversified portfolio based on your risk preference and investment goals. Such a portfolio would likely include a substantial holding in bitcoin and small exposure to promising tokens. I have found a trustworthy project. It is called Socratus.  It is an insurance ecosystem which provides a digital platform for insurance companies. So any insurance company can connect the platform to become the part of Insurance Digital Ecosystem. Their main aim is to create a win-win insurance whereby you get instant claim payment,  fair and transparent dealing and friendly prices. They are also helping insurance companies to reduce costs (it can be reduced from 15 to 25 %) and get their business on a new level. Also, they are powered by Smart-contracts & Socratus Oracles. It means that there is no more solo human decisions to pay or not to pay, no more lingering manual claims handling procedures.

Most of these hacks happen to exchanges. It's about time exchanges considered the safety of customers' funds their topmost priority. Other hacks happened to greedy and/or unsuspecting ordinary people who were either trading or trying to get some money they didn't work for. We can only advise ourselves to be extra cautious in choosing good wallets and good exchanges.

Be vigilant and watch out for offers from individuals and organisations that seems to good to be true since these people will always want to lure you to expose your wallet details and private key. JUST WATCH OUT, THEY ARE NOT FAR FROM US! YOU ARE YOUR OWN SECURITY!

You should not engage in unfamiliar websites. Keeping your computer safe from viruses is essential to your security when you enter the market.

Indeed security is very crucial for the cryptography industry. But it is not the blockchain technologies responsible for many thefts, but user mistakes. Be careful to the scam attempts.

Of course the system security that must be strong, don't let people know what do you have (asset like token/coin) and keep safe your password, private key, etc.
If you guys save asset on exchanger, you should instal 2fa or something like this to keep secure your account.

There's no solution about that hackers because hackers will do everything to steal our money. So the best we can do is be vigilant and more careful to any what transaction you do and always secured your funds to hard wallet.

More measure, more security is necessary because lack of all the things may lose a lot of money.

Hackers and hacking will always happen. We can not finish them. So we have to take all the precautions to ensure our own safety, there is nothing else to be done.

To be able to avoid from the hackers, we should avoid the following:

1st: Protect your GMAIL or EMAIL ACCOUNT
     
       We all know we use GMAIL as our email provider for such accounts like blockchain then we can recover and approve login with email in some wallets, now when your email account was targeted and get compromised then say goodbye to your bitcoin.To secure your bitcoin wallet(ex: blockchain or other) go to your google account settings. and then turn on the 2FA(2nd factor authentication) here is the guide on how to do it: STEP BY STEP GUIDE

2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE
 
       It's a very bad idea to use someones device(ex:from friend) to make a transaction in your bitcoin wallet why? because first you don't know what is the capability of that person regarding that matters and you don't know if that phone has a lot of malwares and spywares.So we cannot say that you are safe using someones device to make transactions.

3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS
         
       This is the most important thing to remember for everyone using your ETH or BTC wallet without backing up your Private keys then you can't recover you wallet in case you forgot your wallet.PK's are very important but there are thing you should do first. Make sure you store your PK backup somewhere that you only know and not from your computer because there are some spyware that might inside of your computer that can steal that file so make sure you back it up print in a paper and hide it to the place where you only know.

4th: Don't open links from malicious emails

      This method was called email phishing where an attacker will send the same email in thousands of random users once the victim will click the link in that email then his or her device was compromised to avoid this please do not click the links included in the email immediately please always have time to check who is the sender of that email and if that email is came from the site where it supposed to came from.

5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI 

      It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions.

6th: Do not login on Suspicious links

     This method is called PHISHING where an attacker  will send you a link to login with your bitcoin wallet luring you with the legitimate site example is:
the real site is: https://www.blockchain.info/
the fake site is: http://www.blockchain.ga/

then once you login to the fake site then the hacker or attacker will have now your credentials. Please always check for the green lock on the url bar and the word HTTPS in the link.

Hacking will always do exists we cannot force it to stop. As a user we should be responsible to keep safe our coins to protect from hackers. There are still hardware wallet to use and keep your token safe.

Never utilize a similar email for in excess of one trade. Likewise never utilize your trade email deliver to information exchange for ICOs or airdrops or some other site . I know an ICO who sold its client's messages without their insight so make an alternate email for ICO and airdrop purposes.

It is best for all of the cryptocurrency users to have a hardware wallet that will be keeping their cryptocurrecy at a safe place and that will become the key for them to give a lot of security and comfortable experience that they don't need to worry about the things that they might experience like hackings because they finally got hardware wallet which is the safest type of wallet.

I can't see any solution here. Because almost every month crypto faced hackings! No security can fight against hackers till now. Exchanges are facing hackers continuously. Bancor, Bithumb and some others exchange got hacked in this year. We have seen many wallet hacking posts in this forum. Overall, we really helpless here. I am waiting to see a hackless crypto platform. I really not feel safe with my money. I think we should use more than 4 wallets at a time and hardware wallet obviously.

great idea, by taking care of our own pc it will add more security. I sometimes look at fb groups and other forums, hacking associations using viruses they disguise in the form of software that usually becomes a necessity like crack, office, and more. after they install the software, boom !! all your data, so try to tighten your pc's security

it seems like any sophisticated system still must have the name of deficiency or imperfect, pentagon class alone had experienced hack you must know it, this can not be prevented, but we can minimize by using the wallet as a storage that really safety until now according to me.

There are a lot of hackers who can only help if you have passwords on your account access you do not want to share with others it is better to keep them as they may lose everything to you.

Being cautious is one of the key to be safe from hackers and scammers. Just like everyone said, if you are planning to store your bitcoin don't use online wallets, instead use hardware wallets. Hardware wallet is far more secure than any online wallets available. I only use online wallets when I am trading but not for storing my precious bitcoin.

We can avoid this hacking from ourselves. We can begin to secure our accounts, our wallets, and all of our privacy access. We can begin to secure by applying security to our account and do not store our password in any place. For example we can start securing our wallets by enabling the 2FA feature and ensuring our emails are not automatically connected with other people's email. That's a simple example. More details, you can apply the security according to your chosen wallet.

Yes, exactly nowadays hacker are continuously finding their targets to hack their wallets. And the number of hacking attacks are continuously increasing according to the time. But we have a solution for it. Using off-line or hardware wallets will definitely help us or protects our wallets from the hacking attack. As well as make sure don't hold the funds in exchange platform for the long period of time.

Solution
1.Create complex passwords. - Your passwords to access your accounts on apps or websites should consist of a combination of numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and special characters that is difficult to guess.
 * Don't use the same password for more than one website or account. This limits the damage to you if a hacker happens to crack one of your passwords.

2.Don't give out your password. - This is an obvious piece of advice, but one that bears revisiting: with the exception of some school services, you shouldn't ever have to provide a site administrator with your password for them to access your account.
 * If you do have to give someone your password for some reason, change it as soon as they are done with whatever they needed to do on your account.

3.Change your passwords often. - In addition to keeping your password a secret, you should change the passwords on your various accounts and devices at least once every six months or maybe in three months.
 * When you do change your password, you should change it substantially. Don't simply replace one letter with a number.

There is no solution. All we can do is give more bullet prof our wallets and use more safely. Because hackers are still working the way for the wallets to be stolen. Let's take care that we will not fall prey to thieves.

It depends upon the users how they avoid in hacking. Just do researching on what the thing they are doing. Be wise in interacting with the internet industry, specially in bitcoin there are many hacks in bitcoin, so that you must be sure to your move, use a secured wallet for your better sake.

The solutions is you must carefully when you open your account or wallet and dont give your password to anyone. Dont click any link from email or social media. Always clean your computer or gadget fron malware. Use the good antivirus to safe your computer or your gadget.

DEX is the best solutions for traders and holder!
But Need to build easy to use! Currently, it is difficult for new members!

Hacks based on trading or just individuals wallets?,I have a recommendations for walltes that there is a price tag of 100,000$ if any one can hack them,its called bitfil.com..by John McAfee..

true decentralized exchanges yes, and atomic swaps / being aware of your own security. There is not really any other solution for personal funds. If you are happy to use centralized entities such as custodial services, then this will be somewhat of a solution for those in the mainstream/investment world. But for anyone who is interested in their own freedom from tyrannical govenrments, Legal entities and KYC/AML etc, they need to work on their own security and practices.

I don't think we can get better solution of these things , because we can't put all altcoins at their own official wallet because the main factor is of the time of confirmation and also matter of the transaction fee , it is duty of the exchange to gain better security so that no one can easily give his hacking effect over the exchange .
Another thing that I seen in this field is that second duty is our own to make more safety over the amount of the Money that we have .
First thing we should have two factor authentication sign-in option in any type of money holding account .
Second thing we should not remain limited to few wallets , we should use Multiple wallets to put money ( bitcoin or another better altcoin ) .Third thing , is that we should not make trade at single exchange , we should expand our work at every better exchange, because trading at multiple trading exchange gives us opportunity to make earning by arbitrage trade and also if one exchange get hacked then another will remain safe and we will have time to make safe money by transfer in personal wallet .

We can not deny hackers because we have to live side by side even with the bad guys. I think the hacker is a person who is too smart but can not channel his or her intelligence for positive activities. Only advice to the hacker who reads my comments is to be more responsible and not take the rights of others. They should improve their morals to not do evil to others. It is not better that they use their intelligence for more useful activities. I'm sure if these hackers use their intelligence for positive activities then the benefits can increase.

A lot of hackers now in cryptocurrency. Because they know cryptocurrency have a lot of money so it prone to hackers. If you don't want hacker to open your project or any wallet that you have make sure your system is fully protected and to hide the information that you have.

Hackers and scammers are very rampant nowadays and with the evolving world of technology, they are also upgrading their styles to trap their target. What we can do is to have full-awareness and proper education, to know what and who we are dealing with, do background check, and report fraudulence activities. If they are wise, we must be wiser and keep ourselves updated, informed, and to be vigilant.

The exchanges should be more careful with security. Bug bounty programs can be helpful for this.

For me, I think those lot of hacks are the cause why the price of Bitcoin dropped, and I also think that the market is being manipulated and they are using those hacks issue to make the market manipulated. But we still don't know, always be careful , don't store your funds in the exchange, always secure your personal wallet.

personally I think safest to not be hacked is using hardware wallet like ledger,who can hack this? no one

I think DEX exchange is good but its the only not solution. Hacking always happen not only in cryptocurrency but in banks account too. The safest option we can do is keep our private key safe because its very important. Centralized exchange should be increasing their security and we should use 2FA on our account to avoid hacker stole our crypto

using hardware wallet is the safest way now but just for who invest the plenty money but for people who just invest 1-5 btc still a not found solution.

The only solution to this is to be vigilant and do not put your altcoin in exchange unless you are not going to trade it. Use a hardware wallet if possible to avoid hack and save the paraphrase password in a safe place.

I agree with you on securing wallets and keep funds away from exchanges but in my opinion I do not think that hackers manipulate the market of Bitcoin because then why wouldn't they spike it a lot more than what it is now? To me it does not make sense.

I really agree with you because there are many ways to keep your wallet safe from hackers. But in general, if somebody wants to hack your he will do it.

99% of hackers arpund the world are focus on cryptocurrency because there is a lot of money that they can stole. We can prevent them to stole our cryptocurrency by save our cryptocurrency in offline wallet, I think that is the safest way .

The only one solution for hacking is installed google authenticator then we can experience safety of wallets this is only way

Before I bought my Ledger Nano S, I use this technique to withdraw or send BTC and Tokens from campaigns I joined.

1. I create a bootalble usb driver with Ubuntu OS on it. Instructions here https://kb.iu.edu/d/bciz
2. Boot into Live Boot mode of Ubuntu.

By that, I don't have to format my PC or clean it just to make sure that my environment is safe. Just make sure you have downloaded the Ubuntu installer by its website. You can always do checksum verification on it. The instruction can be found here: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001846.htm

There is no one solution. There are different levels of security measure that one could take such as never leaving money on exchanges, safe wallets and even considering nano S.

You have to move your bitcoin to a big market with guaranteed security and requires a lot of verification

The solution would be that we must be aware that in this days, a lot of scams are happening right now. My advice is that everytime you want to invest, make sure you tripple check the project, the team and all the rest because in order to make a smart invest you need a good project of yourself regarding to investing.

If this is about the divertissement of that Project well you made it enough

But about the hacking,mostly this happens with our own fault being carelessly and un secured storage

Though some happen because this hackers are really good on this,they are gifted person but doing it wrongly to take advantage for others

yes, I am also a bit wary when trading on etherdelta, unlike in other markets. security there is really minimal

Hacking attacks have nothing to do with price drop.
Unfortunately, hacking attacks can't be avoided but the level of security and protection could be higher. And that is something that exchange should care about.
Also, every user has to be aware that security of his coins it's up to hin and how much we all are aware of security measures.
So, avoid online wallets and exchanges that don't have adecvate security measures. Also, use antivrus and antimalware protection on your computer and mobile phone.

A lot of suggestions had been share on this thread by members like use of a hardware wallet. You can go for these suggestions to enhance the safety.

But let me tell you, it will still not be 100% guaranteed that all your money is safe in crypto. There will always be some risk of it getting hacked because of some loophole or bug on the exchange. You will have to keep it in mind while making a crypto investment.

Try to get an offline wallet to store your assets and also don't use one password for all your accounts. Make sure you always activate 2fa code for more security.

Obvious for me because the answer is that hackers is becoming more wise and experienced with bitcoin and blockchain technologies there are just researching and moving up in the research process.

What? I can’t believe it someone so experienced saying that one of the reason of the price is not hacking. Dear buddy look into the history look into how many times only MT Gox exchange have been hacked and what was its effect on the price of Bitcoin.
I agree that hacking can’t be stopped or eliminated permanently because we know evil minds are always in thoughts of doing something wrong and it’s such an activity for them which they constantly keep on trying to do because they steal millions of dollars coins with just a single successful attempt.
Also we can’t believe on every antivirus available in the market, there are antiviruses which opens gateways for the hackers to your devices after you install them. Therefore, always use a reputable antivirus for your systems where you have stored your wallets.

Don't keep all your cryptocurrency investments in one place. Diversify among exchanges. It's unlikely you are going to get hacked at the same time through all of them. Especially if you have different emails and passwords for each.

Make sure to set a really hard and long password, and you are the only one to access it from a piece of paper that you control.

make sure you have to look at your account. and we have to make passwords that are difficult for others to understand. And don't forget to always check.

Enable 2fa. Also store coins in hardware wallet.

Yes we need to be one hundred percent confidentiality protected to our account, and as much as possible we have a two factors password confirmation for best security protection.

There are so many people who are hacking today because of the hackers that they can supply your accounts because you're spreading your social media transfers or transaction so many people know about your earnings so they are looking for great value.

The reason why there are tons of hacks is because no security is safe and some programmers are lazy to implement that extra bit security to their code to make iy more secure. The solution for this is to hire good developers that are properly doing their job and users should learn how to protect themselves from hackers.

It's time for exchanges to be considered the safety of their top priority customer funds.Other hacking happens to ordinary,greedy and/or unsuspecting people who trade or try to get the money they don't do.We can only advise ourselves to be extra careful in choosing a good wallet and good exchanges.Of course the system security must be strong,don't let people know what you have (assets such as tokens/coins)and keep your password secure,Private keys are therefore very important

In my opinion, the hacker only can do their work on the place which is not decentralized, I argue that the hacker who hacked the pool, exchanges and so on is the internal crew from that Exchange or pool who is betrayal the company. So, The hackers are easier to do their Works. So when the pool or market is decentralized, then the hackers will not easier to do their works

hackers are becoming increasingly savage for now, I have also been a victim, but I have been sincere, maybe not my fortune ... but the most important thing is that we have to be careful and not to be careless to enter any link, do not be tempted by hackers' deadly seduction. . !!

I can not avoid it completely, but you can minimize the risk.
Avoid web wallets and don't keep your coins at exchanges. Also use more different types of wallets and don't keep all your coins in just one wallet. Use updated antivuris tools on your computer and mobile phones if you use them to access your wallet.

hackers are increasing because of the technology today.People didnt avoid these hackers rather it can be lessen or prevented.Simple things must to be done.First,always change your password.Hackers are tend to know all the possible passwords whether in atm machine or in a computer.Second,never give all the personal informations over the internet to anyone.Sometimes hackers pretend to be a bank consultant,an online friend or even a government officials.And lastly,always never to talk to the strangers.Simple advice from our parents that surely saves ourselves to anyone or for being hacked.Remember,follow these simple steps and surely people can prevent their accounts from being hacked.

A lot of exchanges, wallets has been hacked and this is the time of the white hacker to take their time to develop the platform to be more secured.

There is no safe solution. We have to take our property before the attacker. I have a pretty safe way that you use a cold wallet without internet connection to prevent the attacker.

Nothing better then cold wallet, and staying offline.
Dont believe in mas os and hardware wallets, only cold offline.
I am lost funds with google auth, 2fa is not the key

To prevent your account from being hacked, secure it with a hardware wallet, avoid sharing your private key and be careful of registering things with your Gmail account.

if you want to prevent your account from being hacked, you have to ensure that you don't give out private information about your wallet, you must never give out your private key or password, you must be sure of the sites you visit even when you want to login to your wallet account, be sure you are visiting the authentic site as this is one major reason people  get their accounts hacked.

this year is a correction year, FUD year, and hacking year. I think we have to secure our wallet from hackers by not storing our assets in an exchange wallet in large amounts. you better store your asset on hard wallet.

secure your private key well, don't spread the public to others. and don't approach each pishing.

as long as blockchain is concern hack can't stop because all hacker are internal bodies that knows the do and dones of the system so wen need to know what is going on within the crypto wold to eliminate the rate at which people complained about this scenario.

i may say to me no exchange is trusted again because there client can compromise the system.

The solution will give to us our banks. When they will implement blockchain technology, for sure they will give some additional security to our money, but they will take some more fees.

Just using hard wallet then the problem is solved. But if you are trader and put your assets on exchange, there is no chance. You have to spread your balance to many exchanges to reduce the risk that you might take.

the solution to hacks will be the case or issue of increase in security by both the developers that develops dApps and those also using the applications in different transactions. if the security can be beefed up, it will make a better way for investors.

- Don't put too much funds on any exchange, whether it's centralized or decentralized.
- Hardware wallets as usual but if you don't have, use wallets that has private keys.
- Don't click any unwanted links.

In crypto space, hackers will alway hover so it behoves on us all to up our security game, keep you device clean, write out you private keys and pass phrase somewhere safe away from your device, change you password every now and then, dont use same password accross different platform. DEX is a lot safer but we owe it to ourselves to be careful

Basically, the hacking that occurred is not because the crypto, but because our personal mistakes.
The solution is by educating ourself how to protect our wallet securely, so our wallet can be secure.

DEX is better but hackers can hack smart-contract. I don't know how can possible do it, but I know that they can find bug and withdraw coins or tokens.

You can use only one hardware wallet and save keys with your pc, used it high security and cleaning software.daily you have deleted your browser history and don't click anyone fission mail. And don't have deposit your funds with the long time, instant deposit, trading and withdraw better can save your funds.

Precautionary measures need to be taken to ensure steps are taken against these hackers gaining access into ones wallet.  Hardware wallets to the rescue. No clicking on unnecessary links and campaigns asking for PK.

Yes. Hardware wallet is the best solution. We can secure it literally if we have hardware wallet.

someone should make progrom blackhat hacker hunter,sure they will decreasing

There is only one solution, the same as all over the IT world. One kind of hackers would be improving the security system, and other type of hackers would be destroying it, this is the process of development.

Though i still don't get any kind of information about hack but yes being aware is always helpful and in order to make our crypto safe we should use good wallet and it is really necessary.

The solution is to be careful who you trust and where you put your wallet key. We cant stop people from doing bad things, the only thing we can do is to be careful with our belongings. People nowadays will do whatever it takes just  for their own benefits, they dont care if they steal money from you or they do something to you.

I don't think there is a platform that is immune to hacking. So much money has been lost to hacking and more is still going to be lost. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not vulnerable to hacking by securing your cryptocurrency with a reputable wallet such as hardware wallet.

MOST IMPORTANT- Never give or expose your private key to anyone unless you trust them with al your money.

I used to think DEX is a solution to exchange hacking before not until the recent attack on etherdelta that affected some users. Hacking is a way of looking for loop hole so the best way is to make sure their is no chance for serious loopholes since loophole is necessary for some reasons in programming.

in my opinion if you can't steal it, please use hardware hardware wallet, maybe the price is quite cheap and the last solution is to keep your wallet private key.

The solution is educate yourself to care about security more than now and be careful with anything that you click in the internet. If you can afford hardware wallet then it's good but if you don't want to buy it then you should be more careful and always do double check before sending your money. You should also use dex more because it's safer than using centralized exchange, the downside is the volume is small.

It's quite unfortunate as it keeps trending, my friend even suffered the experience some days ago. I believe measures are being put in place to checkmate their activities and some project apps (like CryptoPolice and BugLab for example) are helping in combating this issue. With time I believe it will pass, we're just in a challenged phase.

 it is obvious that such a thing cannot be controlled in as much as we do not want our wallets to be hacked, we should safeguard our wallet with utmost care and be careful of links you click most especially links sent directly to your mail box if you do not really know the source of the mail it is best and at your own good you ignore that mail so as not to fall victim of hackers.

Always clean your pc every month or week using good antivirus or malware, never download something suspicious in the internet. When you stored your coins, don't stored it on exchange especially for a long time. Just stored it on your own wallet, it's more safety because there are many case that an exchange get hacked.

For me, the solution to these hacking situations is to protect and secure your data with hardware wallets. You can also invest in other coins and not one particular coin alone.

Decentralize exchanges are also prone to attack from hackers and it is not the solution to cryptocurrency hacks. The best solution is individual precautions towards how crypto wallet security is maximized.

Always come to a point to secure you wallet since a lot of hackers online. Never trust a site so do not click any link which you do not know. Hardware and online wallet are good to use to protect your bitcoin and other alts.

The solution is having the right knowledge on how to protect yourself. Even banks and their customers are still vulnerable to skimming and phishing so I guarantee you that your coins are still not 100% safe on decentralize exchanges. Equip yourself with prevention and the right tools to make it happen.

Someone and someway would be brilliant enough to hack you, and a lot of people have already said the points that are required to prevent hacking. It's a matter of the action of the person, whether they would act on it and protect their funds or just be careless enough and be lazy. You decide.

And the phishing list seems to be getting longer and longer. But you do not worry too much because virtual currency has been, and will always be, faced with problems beyond our control, vulnerable to hackers or possible data loss due to a faulty code.

We can prevent the number of hacking from starting with ourselves. We can anticipate with various security methods. We can begin to maintain security from ourselves. we can ensure that the wallet we use to store crypto currencies is safe. We can activate the 2FA feature and other security features according to the facilities offered by the wallet. Besides that, we must ensure that our e-mail is not automatically forwarded to certain e-mails. Lastly we have to check our security wallet periodically.

If you want to be a crypto holder, then you should try some Non-Online wallet, by storing in a device, such as USB or cold wallet. If you don't hold that much assets, use MEW with Json key, and remember never use Private Key at anytime. If you have to, just use your own internet, not public internet such as Coffee shop or Mall internet :)
Trade wisely and safely!

for me the solution is to apply blockchain in different systems to avoid hacking. The datas will be secured and safe, you must hack all the units before you can have all the data.

Scams hacking stealing ICOs lots of factors that needs to be correct It takes time around 10 Years or less but Bitcoin is the future. Pretty strong feelings hope for the best.

You should adhere to the following guidelines:
Do not open emails from unknown sources.
Do not send your personal information to third parties.
Review the sender's email address: Messages from key exchanges are usually sent from the official domain.

The stories of hacks are getting on the increase day by day ranging from wallets, exchanges, etc. The best thing as an individual to do for yourself is to get a hardware wallet and save your coins in there. With that, you are at least 99% protected from all the hacks and thefts online

Even DEXs are vulnerable to hacks. I'm wisely trading now on exchanges with a solid reputation and I did back up my wallet tightly, also be careful from phishing websites and bots pages and false scheme offerings. Always enable All security features of the sites once you're logging in.

Doing some maintenance each month or week in case that you have a lots of store wallet inside your pc is really good extra precautions, by doing this you are making sure that you can't be penetrated by hackers, make sure that you are visiting site where you are sure that safe for your system always double check and don't be so careless it is important avoiding hackers and viruses to attack your device.

I think that for us, the mortal customers the decision will be just wait until developers will create some wall of security between us and hackers, so use all that rules about diversification your portfolio.

I think the best solution is that you keep your private key and don't access the site freely, and if you can do it, your wallet will be safe from hackers.

Hacking has been with us from time but it was not as rampant as this because fiat currencies are well regulated. Decentralization makes tracing any stolen cryptocurrency difficult so for that reason alone, hacking has spread wide into cryptocurrency. All you can do is to ensure you secure you coins with good wallets (hardware wallet) and don't leave your coins on the exchanges.

To avoid hackers, just make the private key to your wallet your deep most. And also be cautious of these projects that give you assurances that are too good to be keep in exchange of your wallet details

Most of the hacks are about websites such as the exchanges. It's an issue for the websites itself not about the users. And many times we told why it's not good to store your coins on an exchange. At the end this isn't a problem for the average user who behaves correctly, it is a problem for the site losing its credibility

Now depending on everyone, I think the wallet is very difficult to hack by irresponsible people, because each account has been given a private key which means the key to the address is fast, how the wallet can be damaged if it is not your negligence that issued the private key, as long as the private key unknown to others, the coins you have will be safe.

Everyone now are depending in our technologies and there's so many people using it in thier daily life as for now it is the life changer but somehow bad people using it to victimized others and the solutions is dont trust easily and analyze the system or the people befo make a move

a lot of hacks just because of the carelessness of the users themselves and that is why the amount of these hacks depends on the care of themselves

Hackers are always present wherever you are, because we cannot release from hackers so we must be careful.
Look carefully before you enter the destination website, because hackers usually start their actions from the pishing website.

There's no ensured arrangement in light of the fact that if there's an approach to make something, at that point there's an approach to annihilate it. Programmers are getting shrewd every day and that they will figure out how to sidestep a security. The main thing that a man could do is to remain the assets from trades and simply store it in a sheltered equipment wallet where the main individual who could get to it is simply the proprietor

The best solution comes form ourselves. If we can only protect our money, digital assets in our wallets, then hackers would have a very little chance of penetrating into your hard-earned treasure. Always stay alert and vigilant all the time because theft are also trying the best that they can to make you their prey.

Good ways to use hardware wallet and used 2FA security in your wallet, don't click unknown mail and anyone false Link.its some ways will give you good safety,so try to understand and keep claim hard security.

You can only be responsible for your own security. Everyone needs to take their own precautions with their own coins, but you also need to do your own research on the companies you trust with your money. Obviously you're always going to need a little faith in things like exchanges but you can minimize the risks by either just choosing legitimate ones who themselves are insured or have proven top notch security practices but also only keeping minimal amounts of funds on them and just when you need to use it. Those two things alone can minimize any potential loses.

It is not that the hacks are always due to carelessness of users only. You need to understand that the security of a system or project is also designed by a human being, If there is a smarter guy more efficient in same filed, he can easily hack such sites or system.

One of the ways I reduce the risk by using different exchanges and dividing funds in between them.

Don't trust centrlalized institutions, that's the only way. Nobody is going to hack the blockchain itself, and yet people still go to centralized exchanges, casinos and everything. Definitely need grow into the decentralized economy and protect ourselves from the risk of these hacks. Too bad it's not going to happen any time soon and DEX are considered worthless right now.

Hackers will not stop, just because money is a tentative target for them. So, any engine involving cryptos will always be a target for hackers, online wallets, exchangers, casinos, etc. Each one should look for their own security, for you as bitcoin user there are some ways to manage your bitcoins by the secure way, but when we talk about security of a online system things are more complex.

The good news is there are lot of White hat hackers searching for those vulns and helping to fix them before the bad guys found them and exploit those vulns.

no need to open unknown links, you do not need to go through them, because you can thus pass them all the data, of course all are not insured, but you need to be careful that you do not happen

If there’s a single lesson Americans have learned from the events of the past year, it might be this: Hackers are dangerous people. They interfere in our elections, bring giant corporations to their knees, and steal passwords and credit card numbers by the truckload. They ignore boundaries. They delight in creating chaos.

I think the solution is you need to educate yourself first so that you can create your own strategy on which the hacker hard to get it and also it helps you to avoid those malicious links that the hackers used to steal the informations of your different account. Become aware help us to avoid those hacking incidents and also can help us to minimize the risk of lossing our money.

The fight against hackers begins with ensuring your own security. It is worth keeping most of your crypto assets on "cold" storage - that is, disconnected from the network. On exchanges and online wallets, keep only as much as you are ready to lose. Remember: your choice of the degree of safety affects not only you, but also the ecosystem on the whole.

There are some simple ways to make your wallet safe.  Try to access your wallet from a single or two divices. Don't browse in the websites from which it's easy to put a bug in your PC and hack it, like adult sites,torrent sites, etc. Use a good antivirus. Don't open any suspicious links on your e-mail or chats, and most effective is to use a hardware wallet which is a bit expensive but worthy.

You are right, the more cryptocurrency develops, the more hackers seek to hack this system. But it is quite possible to protect yourself just chose the right wallet for storage. I use cold wallet Trezor since it is the most secure.

Storage is very important for a successful investment. Choose a good, reliable wallet, read reviews to choose the most popular and secure. Do not trust anyone with your passwords and do not share them on the Internet, even in private conversations. This is a very simple action but it will protect you from hackers.

All most important and the main already said in previous consternation. The key to safe storage is a good wallet and proper storage. Do not keep money on the stock exchange it is fraught with the loss of your investment.

Development is the best way to minimize hacking in digital money, due to anonymity and peer-to-peer transactions. Every mistake, hack, ... have very few opportunities to fix.

A lot of people have said and experience hacking, one way or the other. It just comes with a virus, and you will never know that it hit you already.
I just watched this documentary on Vice HBO, and it's pretty impressive, the people who do it has their motives. It cannot be stopped, but a lot of people
are trying to do the right thing. The critical thing to do is to be aware of the possible invasion of privacy.

See this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2_5rPbUDNA&t=171s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2_5rPbUDNA&t=171s)

Yeah, it's one of the severe problems in cryptocurrency and for its investor. Hackers generally focus on hacking private keys/ seeds to take away investors money what they stored somewhere to exchange their money. To prevent and to be free from this dangerous hacker investors need to have good knowledge of surfing carefully different types of unknown websites. Not to store their private wallets and keys in several storages instead of storing in the computer drive or mobile phone they may store it on the paper in writing. That is how they prevent and can be free from hackers.

There are two solutions that prevent you from hackers and lose money. You should not put all your money on a trading floor, even though it's the biggest trading platform. You should only send in a Ledger Nano S purse and hold it for a long time. That is the best way to protect your property.

You should always double-check the URLs of the site you will visit to avoid phishing and hack attacks. A lot of the mistakes happened because of unscropolous sites and cost them their investment and money. Better use only your own laptop, or PC and never open your account on a computer shop.

If people would use more cold wallets (Ledger Nano S, Trezor etc) instead of keeping their funds online on Exhanges hackers would be discouraged to perform so often attacks.

It's sad that people prefer less secure nethods just because they are free, then they come crying on forums that their tokens got stolen. A Ledger Nano is ~100$, is not a fortune and it help you to sleep better knowing that your coins are safe.

A lot of hacks can be mitigated by having users understand online security, good passwords (As complex as possible), most importantly 2FA which should be a prerequisite during registration! But I think to eliminate hacks completely from the space, DEX(Decentralized exchanges) have got to be considered and improved upon since they offer greater security then CEX(Centralized Exchanges). The drawbacks of DEX however is low liquidity and the lack of ease of FIAT integration!. I believe for the issue of liquidity, BINANCE will get that right on its DEX, now how they can integrate FIAT successfully is what must be looked at now. So DEX will drastically reduce hacks.

First of all, everyone is thinking about the wallet security can't you see hackers are not targeting the wallet because they know that that will be the Hard Way to crack the system and get money. So what they did is they targeted exchanges and trading platforms because those are much less secure than the wallet at least they have some chances because people often make mistakes. So to protect us from these hacks you can always go for two-factor authentication or you can choose not to spend your Bitcoins at all.

Well, thank you for your  useful advice. I 've ever been hacked so I want to get more information to advoid being hacked agian

It is happened that hacking is the big problem ever and for this the solution is by you like of you want to be safe from theft and hackers you should be silent, and these cases are happen in the case of theft and hacking causes severe problems but if you keep your privacy secret then you will be safe from these hacks.

I think you do first is make all your password a secret  (No one knows except you). Secondly  is dont trust any one to tell them how many token and what is the value of it to , Just keep it secret and most especially use a hard wallet that is surely secured.

This is the type of questions I have always asked because I feel very tired of this hacking that seems not to have any solution. Hardware wallet seems to be the ways out for now. At least, one will be safe from them. Also make sure you don't leave your cryptocurrency on exchanges indefinitely.

Exactly, every now and then there are many issues affecting people in the world of crypto and protection from scams is one important issue that always comes up. I believe we can do more to attract people to attract more investors if the right ways to protect our funds from hackers is strengthen in order to protect valuable stuffs such as private keys.

The crypto market is still very young, and naturally, he now has a lot of security problems. But it seems to me that the level of security is constantly increasing. Not only wallets and applications, but also exchanges are becoming more secure. In most cases, the users themselves are guilty of hacking into users' wallets, as they often do not observe the elementary safety rules. I have a friend who has kept the keys to the wallet on the desktop of his laptop for a year. I think not the only one.

Unfortunately, the more cryptocurrency develops, the more hackers appear and they also improve their skills, as bitcoin hacking is a gold mine for them. But I believe in the power and security of technology, so I don't think hackers will ever be able to get to it. And investors should use only reliable, proven wallets.

The very best solution is to not to leave all one's valuables coin in just one exchanger wallet. There are lot's of exchanges that offers same trading and we shouldn't just rely or put all our eggs in just only basket.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the safety of your personal coins is up to you. I don't think hackers will be able to get to bitcoin itself, but they can quite easily get to you if you don't take care of the secure storage. This really should be given a lot of time.

hackers cannot be dammed, a sophisticated security like Nasa or American defense has also been hacked, to overcome this wallet address from the default is very precise by making a backup key in the folder that has been created, This can minimize the occurrence of hacking.

I agree with you, I also do what you do, even though I lose a little on transaction fees, I think that is the safest way besides using Ledger Nano S wallet, Trezor etc.

yes that's true, but I've never experienced it myself. so I only read from member posts here. and if I observe, most of them are purely due to personal mistakes. carelessness and ignorance make crypto loss

It rarely happens on individually, much more on running networks that involves lots of transaction, eventually hacker could get a glimpse of any possibility the breach the network, internally or externally. It involves millions of tokens tht could be easily washed away if they are good, thats not possible for any real world financial instrument as they are regulated so strictly, hackers would be around until the market

The best solution to save your wallet from any hacking attack is hardware wallet as that wallet don't have any password or private key, which hackers try to steal from you through many ways. There are many good hardware wallets are available in the market and you can choose anyone as per your choice.

You should have a Pc that is only used for bitcoin trading purposes, but not for other purposes like surfing, Facebook, Twitter, etc. to prevent hackers from taking your account.

not to save your asset on exchanger. its really dangerous. its better if you want to trade, than you transfer from wallet to exchanger than keep it in there.
exchanger have high probabilitas to hacked than wallet. wallet is the best place to save your coin. but if you careless, its all same

I would recommend you this list to avaid scams:

Hardware wallet (I would recommend Trezor)

Use Google Autenticator when login

Use / ask for SMS Message when login

Spreading your risk management (Having multiple wallet and account)

To avoid scamming in the exchanges, use multiple exchanges but the best ones (I would recommend Binance, Bittrex, Huobi, DigiFinex and BCEX

If you ask about solution, there are no solution for the hacked one. The solution is for the peoples who have not hacked yet.
They must learn how to secure their wallet from hackers. Using exchange wallet will not make your coins more secure.
Using your own wallet with extra careful when moving the coins is the best solution.

Many exchanges have been hacked before but I think the only way we can run out of these hacks or a solution to this is to be more vigilant as to the exchanges you involve yourself on and also never try leaving your coins on exchanges. 

these hacks are really disturbing as hackers device new means every now and then to steal funds. Just try to be very careful with emails you receive as some are from scammers sending you cloned websites to click on. also be careful with your details and make sure you dont keep funds for long on exchanges.

I don't think there's a general solution to this menace but everyone should at all times be very vigilant, securely secure your funds and avoid visiting sites that will make suceptible to being hacked.

Nowadays hackers and scammers are so many and there are more tactics or ways to scam be aware, avoid clicking some unknown links because that is the most common way to scam, avoid giving your accounts. Be careful who you trust.

Indeed! Hackers are all around us and they seem to also upgrade their tactics to catch their preys. Security has to be of topmost priority. We have to do research and study the ways on how to prevent ourselves from becoming a victim of hackers. It's very important that we keep ourselves updated, and to stay watchful.

But the problem is that there's a lot of noob investors in the market. Remember we are taking off in the last few years and hackers also stepping their game. So its really hard for us to really and hackers are having their field day stealing money out of unsuspecting victims. So we need to be very very careful not be a victim him and do everything at our power to prevent such attacks.

the solution is to buy a good cellphone or lectop. in the sense that it is not easy to get into our cellphone or lectop. and always use additional security. and always clean your cellphone and lectops from viruses that can harm our assets. and do not install applications from unclear sources

The only solution is in the hands of the user. We might use Dexes for better security in trades but human errors still happen. Like what happened to etherdelta, the actual site isn't hacked but many users still lost crypto. I personally don't use cex much as it is the target of hackers and I also take extra care of my private keys; so far it has worked for me.

Have a secure email
Have a secure password
Never use a VPN
Always go Incognito
Always change passwords every month
Dont give even a hint of your email

be more careful in maintaining your personal data, do not carelessly open a suspicious web because the web tends to be web phishing, do not open emails that are suspicious because usually the email is a scam in the name of your wallet, try using a hardwallet

The solution is we need to secure two factor authentication to our wallets and never leave any coins in the exchanges and always be careful in investing currencies make sure that curreny is legit.

Hackers mostly use phishing site to enter your system,and that why many hacking are happning these days because people are not knowledgeable about his tricks

Thats why i am not entering sites unless i really need it badly but i make sure it was safe by checking this tips on how to prevent from hacking

And this thread to pevent hackers
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4360427.0

I don't think there is a solution because there is "no system is safe" even traditional banks can be hacked, but because they are easy to track so hackers don't want to do it
Although there is no solution for this but you can still reduce the risk of hacking by storing crypto assets in a personal wallet or trading in decentralized exchange (DEX)

well, but this make really hard to trade and use crypto!

Anyway, can someone tell me how is possibile to hack a dex like etherdelta?

I think we must find a way to learning about how to use our wallet with best security because the most factor for getting hacked is the error of the wallet owner. We must knowing that clicking suspicious link is dangerous for our wallet, always look the website when using the wallet to avoid phishing web, and the other things we must know.

I also hacked some of my accounts because of my login credentials in some unreliable places so I cleaned my computer and restricted my login to those pages. Also, I bought a hardware wallet to make sure my wallet was not being accessed illegally again

If you want to store you BTC, best choice is paper wallet, no one can't hack it.
also need use last version and dbase of Antivirus. (This help not every times)

withdraw from exchanges, lock it under cold wallet. come back when it is safe enough.

Split your coins into multiple wallets. Don't store everything in one place. It can save you.

Of course, people would need to be careful. A lot of people would try to take advantage of gullible people, knowing that they are easy to con from their money. It wouldn't be easy if the people engaging in it have proper privacy techniques. The first step should involve people going to protect themselves and practice proper wallet keeping in my opinion.

It could be a step to preventing hacking off a large amount of coin in your wallet. If you manage to do that, it would've taken time. That's the frustrating part. Everything would be hard to access if it's in a cold wallet. I don't think small fry's who have less than 1 BTC could be a target or something.

there are several kinds of solutions, one of them maybe you can save the bitcoin that you have on the blockchain or save it in the hardware wallet, when you want to use your assets for transactions you should be able to see the links and make sure the link you are accessing is genuine.

I can't tell you that DEX is a solution for anti-scam. We cannot say that we are safe in using cryptocurrency unless hackers will be detected nor removed. But until hackers can detect funds, they are always here to steal our money. Just be safe and secure what ever we do so that we can keep our funds safe.

we have to save our bitcoin for now so we don't miss hackers, maybe it's the best solution, or we just make some money so that when our account is hacked there's not much money there

The solution is still for the exchanges to up their games in the area of security. The hackers will never sleep because it is like their jobs now and will also be upgrading their game in hacking into exchange accounts with much liquidity. They will always collect as much as they can lay their hands on. The exchanges should be able to procure the best and the state of the art   security software for their system and be willing and ready to do the update as many time as required. They should not consider the budget that it will take to get their security software upto date and effective.

I have never experienced hacking, hacking that occurred in the middle of this year only on Ethdelta, and until now ethdelta has been largely abandoned by traders. I think the current system has become increasingly sophisticated to prevent hackers from acting

you need to be as vigilant as possible because at one point you can lose all your funds - this is the only solution at the moment this problem

hack usually targets your wallet containing coin assets, if that happens I suggest that you save in a hardware wallet that you can make as a good solution if your wallet has a large asset. but other than that if you hack an exchange account or so on you can supplement it with the security of the Google Authenticator as a security supplement.

One of the key to hackers infiltrationis to ensure you avoid visiting unsecure site and links sent to your mail, be wary of freebies as it is the target point for hackers to have access to your wallet private key, avoid visiting exchange site through links sent to you mail address.

The solution is told for many times, and that solution is easy too! To avoid ICO scam, you have to research about that ICO project and you need to know how to find a real ICO Project! To avoid wallet hack, you have to use most trusted and secure wallet, and a hardware should be the first choice! To avoid risk in the trade, do daily trade with good coins. That's it.

The security of our assets must be maintained to the maximum. Hacking cases are increasingly common when the price of cryptocurrency increases, hackers want to get instant profits. The solution you provide is very good, a few tips, don't use an exchange wallet to store your assets for a long time, it's quite risky.

A friend convinced me to go for a cold wallet. And it makes perfect sense to use it. It’s the concept of storing bitcoins offline (not connected to internet) so that it reduces the opportunities for hackers to steal via online techniques. Other than that, here’s an article with some useful tips:

Sometime it's not just simply hack. It's a new scam method. Just thinking in this way, how if the exchange want to take over all of your money? They sent all of your and other's money to another wallet online, and make up an announcement that they are hacked....
This might be a new scam trend this year LOL

Awareness is the only solution. Some attacks are so sophisticated that unless one doesn't get hacked, public can't be aware of it.

Even dex are not safe as they make it out to be. Recent bancor hack shows that.
