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 believe that Bitcoin transactions are secured and nobody can hack it. But I don't really know that. I haven't heard any report that they were hacked using Bitcoin transaction.

They always is active and most hackers are just waiting for opportunities to exploit your security and account wallet details but they would not try to brute force hack accounts because I heard that it would be almost impossible to hack a private keys and mostly they just do phishing and sending malwares or virus that will expoloit your security which can be prevented by us the users as long as we carefully browse and transact.

Yes, it's true that hackers are active these days. We should secure are all accounts and passwords. Specially our wallet private key and address. Be wise on working here because we can't predict what's going to happen in the next days.

What do you mean? hackers are more and more, day by day, the bigger the price of bitcoin the bigger the number of hackers out there. How could you be voulnerable when you use your wallet? As long as you didn't download any malware you are safe.

I think It is a normal thing. With the constant growth of Bitcoin more people know about it and want a slice of cake and join the party. It it importat to be alway very cautious and take all the reccomended precautions like encrypt the wallet with a stron keyworld, donìt open suspiciuous file and costantly make backup af all.

Hackers are restless to eat up your bitcoin, I guess they have observed that people make much transaction at this moment (probably because it's the end of the year and people need money to celebrate). Lazy boned hackers who also wants to enjoy are really virulent at hunting peoples account/wallet, so we all have to be careful and make sure our private key does not leak for the to invade our account.

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!
And always bookmarked your sites that you are regularly using. Have some legit antivirus if you don't have enough knowledge in computer software and hardware. Double check your where you paste your address, do some preventive maintenance in your BTC, trasactions depends on how secure the sites we are using, if we did our part then it's up to them or to the trading site if they will get hack.

Yes. Especially when the bitcoin is increasing exponentially. These hackers just want stole the money that others work so hard. I hope thst they can place safety measures that can stop these hackers from stealing bitcoins and capable of tracing them.

Yes, theres a lot of hackers and scammers here in bitcoin. So we must be more careful on all things we do. I remember my friend of mine, all his tokens he have had been lost for one night. He entered in a one site (i dont remember what site is that) and after that all his tokens has been transfered in other account.

Because of the crazy growth of bitcoin prices, people began to be interested in and they are far from information security, computer literacy. It's just an easy prey for cunning hackers.

So we should be all aware that hackers are just around the corner and always ready to attack, better to understand first every security measure before placing our investment, not just because some close friends or relatives inform us that bitcoin is profitable then we will go and make an entry right away, We should be ready in any type of attacks and each money that we invest should be in a safe place inside crypto.

All things considered, hackers are constantly dynamic and are spread everywhere throughout the world. To be correct they are all over the place, you won't know when do they assault or on the off chance that they will assault. As we have a new altcoin now, its certainly feasible that they will assault that will be stunned to everybody who are dependably refresh to bitcoin however for the individuals who has no clue without a doubt it will go the news like the wannacry ransomware yet I do surmise that is there will be one somebody will really will stop them or nothing will happen its only talk.
Hackers are throughout the world, in the world of internet where the whole world has turned into a global village it can’t be assumed that any place will be safe from the hacker’s attempts either it is in real world or in the world of internet, In day life they can hack your bank account or will get your atm pass key. I think Place or country doesn’t matter in online stuff. Hackers will go for an attempt wherever they find a loopholes. They are active all the time and recently the latest study about them has got the world with the news dynamics of protection layers of online currencies. However they are the one who breach all the security systems like they did to tether.

Hackers would always be around especially at times like this. It’s not questionnable why there are hackers nearby especially with Bitcoin’s value still pumping before year 2017 ends. One way to have money for Christmas.

Those hackers are just animals, you just have to take car of your belongings so that they would not get it from you. It's your job to take care of your funds.

Yes, these thieves are everywhere and especially now they are trying to steal people in Crypto-Currency world thanks to BTC price. When BTC price becomes more expensive hackers become more excited and start attacking sites which hold several amounts of the currency. Unsecured sites unfortunatelly lose their funds and give their investors a big loss... Anyway it's inevitable, dealing with Bitcoins and AltCoins has its risks. However in real life it's not so dangerous like here, you say hackers can invade bank accounts, etc... It's possible, but there we have guarantees that bank give us in some cases like that.

I do believe that Bitcoin transactions are secured and nobody can hack it. But I don't really know that. I haven't heard any report that they were hacked using Bitcoin transaction. You really cant be hacked just because of a bitcoin transaction although you can be hacked if you register/download something from their site like a downloadable bitcoin wallet from unknown sites, sometimes these wallet have RAT`s that can access your computer and look at your files and steal your info about your bitcoin wallet.

Hackers are always active, they are everywhere. But bitcoin is not easy to hacked though many wants to attempt to hack but it's hard. We just need to be careful especially the sites that we open, transactions and most importantly don't give your key or password.
