Hackers are active these days.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Just see the other side of the picture. There are sites that claim to have been hacked, but who knows in the end. I see no reason why the next days, weeks or whatever will be any different from the time up to now. Bitcoin sites claim falsely that they are hacked and thus eat up people BTC. Thats another way to look at how the exchanges cheat innocence people.

Hackers are always looking for easy ways to steal you. Create fake websites, phishing, spam even. The main thing is put a good antivirus software and do not go for questionable links, and do not download unproven applications.

I think that there is no time for hackers to hack something of their interest. They are as you told always keep their eyes on differed things and waiting for the right time. And when they got some easy time they hack. It is not that they are active in these days only. But on one way you are right that they are more active these days about bitcoin because of the rising price and increasing interest of the people.

Bitcoin hacking is easy for hackers they don't need any personal information of users they just change the BTC add is enough. What they will do means they will create one virus and release in the net especially in porn sites and some third party google apps. When people install that app or press that link the virus will do his work, and it will swap your BTC add to their BTC add that's it. So Bitcoin users safe your system with an anti virus. Only don't install any third party not verified apps to your system or mobiles.

Some bitcoin users told me not to do transactions in these couple of days because hackers are active these days. I want to know is it true? or some kind of rumor? Anyone here who have faced such problem?

I do not believe that hackers can hack Bitcoin accounts unless they disclose their account key. Besides, it's possible that some people are spreading rumors to create unstable economic waves, thereby taking advantage of the opportunity to make unfair profits.

Well its ok if you using 2FA function i guess it will not be hacked . Bitcoin wallet security are the best they are not easy to hack. If you have a big bitcoin balance then dont use it just to be sure .

Even if you do have big balance making transactions isnt really a problem at all because hackers cant really do something about it.As long they dont know the things regarding on your wallet then they cant do anything about it 2fa would be always suggested specially on online wallets but if you do have big amounts better to use electrum or bitcoin core.

I studied at the university about internet security.
yes they are now very scary. so easy they break the defense of a server, even for crypto wallet. I hope the wallet security is reinforced so that it is not easy to be hacked.

It is really getting too much. Thanks to 2 factor authentication. I have received several emails lately trying to form a trusted source but the email gave them out. The most important thing is for one to stay as much as alert as possible and not fall for any malware pranks from hackers.

[Ljanesanti]

They are everywhere. Making new ways to outsmart us. Hacking issues, 3rd party issues, fraudulent activities is seems like a common concerns now a days. Everyone should be vigilant in everyarea may it be online or not online. Especially when it comes to suspicious links, giving out information online, lack of security or passwords. Dont give them opportunity , not even a chance. Be a responsible online user.

Hackers are active anytime as long as your account are not protected and your passcode hard to decrypt.  Always practice precaution and avoid visiting and downloading malicious site with weird contents.  I have not experience anything as such and hopefully not in the future.

Hackers have a big role to play here and hackers have always been there and will continue to be around and it won’t end now because we usually ignore simple things like making security checks like checking correct spellings and most of the time we choose to fall for empty promises which are too good to be true which makes it easy for these guys to hack.

Exactly. The hackers do not only work with software anymore. They try to work the human target.
Pretending to be a friend or girlfriend they try to get the trust of the victim. Often with success, because they are getting more and more experienced in what they are doing.
When you look at this new set of skills and their already existing capabilities in programming, a normal person needs a certain amount of paranoia these days in order not to become one of their victims.

Hackers are active every day. They are keep looking for new solutions and programms to hack everything. Check all the websites, emails , passwords you acces. Hackers are everywhere so dont trust anything these days.

So many people have hacked and taken the money why this hacker has a mercy for some hard-working people just toern the money and the hacker onlly just took it in a few clicks in the computer all moeny they went . It is a special sadness for a small person like me.

[IAMYOURLEADER]

For me, I  always apply what experts always say to avoid getting hacked.  Don't believe easily when you got an email saying you need to change your password to protect your account because it's always the common bait that hackers do.

[sonawer]

It is important to keep private keys in complete safety and be protected from the virus and other access to your programs, the rest comes and goes.

[futile-resistance]

Hackers have been around since the day that a guy pushed a punch card into a computer. There is nothing in the mechanisms of bitcoin that can be hacked with a return that is worth the time and effort. The weak points are the websites that maintain your information and your own computer. The only hacking that I have seen that could be proven was the stealing of passwords and such from a personal computer.

Hackers are active these days as bit coin is the most valuable crypto currency these days, they are trying to penetrate into the systems of those people who have very large investments in bit coin and either locks down there systems for ransom in form of bit coins or stoles private information to transfer all the bit coins from peoples account to theirs.

[JohnLHarvin]

some people worked hard just toern the money and the hacker onlly just took it in a few clicks in the computer all they moeny went to. Take advantage of the additional traffic Bitcoin has received. However I have not found any such event reported yet. They have a lot of ways to hack our account. For example some fake emails imitate the original page of a reputable website, the only difference is the address but if you are not interested in the observation, you will not notice it.

Hackers are targeting ether and its tokens more than bitcoin now, they are active on slack channels of new ICOs, checking all links before clicking them is required, already a lot of people got scammed.

You are so right and they are really looking for ways to sweep most clean. Something like this happened to Enigma recently when a mail was sent from enigma account to all their ICO holders (I can't really recall the whole story that happened). Enigma quickly came on their social platform few hours later when they noticed to announce the mail not coming from them but it was too late and some damages were already done. I guess at this stage, every user just need to be very careful on how they handle their wallet and fund security. Those guys aint smiling at all.

[mdsharif]

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!

hackers are always active all time not only these days.we should always  be careful about it.

[moooonu]

Hackers can't do anything unless you provide them what they want. Never click on any links from strangers or Download any program. Use vpn or some other proxy services to hide your IP.

I have never dealt with hackers. if we are always careful and diligent cleaning our computer from virus attack. I think the hacker's goal is no longer an individual. but many of these companies or large servers.
