You should know to transact using bitcoin and be safe as well. I think it just a rumor as hackers always active looking for a prey Hackers can not just seeing your transactions on blockchain and decide to get your coins, because they need more information. Even if they know your wallet address, as long as you have some precaution ways to prevent such things, it's impossible to hack your wallet.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

In fact, the title is a bit funny because hackers are active every day-maybe these days they want to take advantage of the fact that many users will download new wallets for split BTC/BCH coins and we see some users are download fake wallets and lost some coins. But this is not actually hacking,it is just fake pages with fake wallets who stole your coins if you let them to do this.Check every page before download anything,install good antivirus+firewall and premium version of Malwarebytes.This should be good to protect you on internet,but you should also use the common sense.

This is one of the major risks of Bitcoin, HACKERS!
Hackers are present anytime, they always target something that they can earn with. And as we all know, Bitcoin is a liquid asset that hackers can get if you do not secure your Bitcoin wallet account. In this case, in order to minimize the risk, you should be the only one to know your Bitcoin address password. Do not trust anyone with it. Also, if you really want to protect your money in Bitcoins, cash it out. Do not let it stay in Bitcoin wallet. Cash it out once you received a transaction like payments through Bitcoins.

It is just not now. Anytime and anywhere they are lurking. So proceed with caution if you have seeds, private keys and other log in details in you desktop or laptop. You dont want to be losing it all by just one click in a website or just one registry. Use google for website legitimacy and try not to go to porn sites. They are full of worms there.

Hackers has been around in the internet before bitcoin came so its not new. There are plenty of phishing site going around so better be careful on what you click double check the website before you enter your address so that you will not lose your coin.

Lots of fake websites Lots of bad backdoored programs and e-mail fishing scams If you visit a website check the address to make absolutely sure your on the real website. Trust no one!
Lots of hackers are spreading nowadays because they knew it that there is big money in bitcoin. Be careful on what you're joining with if you know that is a hack don't take a risk to enter or access it or else you will be hacked.

You should be more careful with your wallet. It is true that there are many phishing sites and there are many hackers. But is it possible that you stop activities with your bitcoin?

Due to the values of Bitcoin rising to the moon, a lot of hackers sees bitcoin as a valuable assets and are more active in targeting victims who are less internet savvy to safeguard their own bitcoins. A lot more phishing sites have appear nowadays as compared to the past, it would be better to verify the site before doing any transaction on the site, never open any emails that contains suspicious link as it might contains malware that could obtain personal information from your personal computer.

If you are not installing any new software, and you are not signing up on any new websites , then really nothing has changed. Hackers were there the day before, they were there on August 1st, and they're there today. They have been there since the whole thing began nothing really changed. There is no report of any hack on the Event of August 1 also.

What hackers probably have done recently, and one case that I ran into recently, is release a lot of software promising to keep you safe and promising to profit you from the fork. Except for one site, everything is as safe as it was, and that one site is pretty well published. The one case that I ran into , which may have had nothing to do with August 1st, was a third-party wallet that stole Bitcoin from the owner.

So did I hear such things, but I guess it's safe now to make transactions, but small amounts is suggested. If what you are saying is true that hackers are active, it won't take long for them to know any big transactions and when they come to know, they will lay their hands on it. I did hear a story that some one lost a big amount of bitcoin a couple of days ago, not sure if he is lying or not. If he is telling the truth, then lets take necessary action to avoid such things happening to us also.

As the thread describes hackers will be more active to use this as an opportunity to enter into the network and tray to hack the accounts of users and transfer huge funds in terms of bitcoin and bitcoin cash. It's good for us to keep it in a much secure manner.
How do you know that these people are now active these days let me give you an example hackers are everyone who are having active mind suppose bill gates was also hacker. So I would tell you these people are just wasting their time nothing more because with hacking they are getting nothing. Even they don't know the meaning of hacking.

I dont think so. I do make transactions these days and nothing happens. I believe that nothing will ever be happen. And be sure you have a better to most security feautures in order for you not to lose so many money on it. Better safe than never. So be wise and never put your money on risk.
