Good day . For me the best wallet to avoid thieves is web wallet instead of hardware wallet.  .and also wallet that have a 2factor authentication so that our bitcoin will be safe and secure. And also the best strategy to avoid thieves is changing your password every month. . I hope it can help .
well according to me it does not make any difference to changes your transaction or your wallet I just want to say that mark my words respected mate that bitcoin is going to become more popular there are a lot of wallets that can make bitcoin safe and you will not be able to lose your bitcoin by the bad robbers and the thieves blockchain is my only selection in this case so take your bitcoin and put them into blockchain and your hardware wallets so get a move on…. And try it and save your bitcoin from extorting.

For me it is very risk that we have bitcoin in online wallet, because we don't know when the attacker attacked our wallets and be sure to backup our bitcoin savings in hardwallet or in offline wallet in order to safeguard our savings.
There are many ways that our wallet to be hacked and it is in our hand how to handle such things in our bitcoin savings.

It is a good idea to check the address 2 times you will send a virus, the virus will change the address of the opposite party during the transfer, that is, copy its own address.

Hey, i'm newbie in this industry and I've came across this article - https://fxpmarkets.blog/2017/08/29/crypto-thieves/
Is it true ?

Yeah that is true., the more the bitcoin or other crypto currencies become more popular the more the bitcoin hackers/thieves multiply. So for us just be carefull of using or even selecting your bitcoin wallet. To avoid lossing btc we should be responsible and be assured that all the details of our acc./wallet is fully secured.



BIG WINNER!

i think they use steal their phone number and try to login in victim's account and start to send all of the bitcoin into their account, i think its not system of bitcoin weakness, but the victim is the weakness and give her email, phone number into thieves so the thieves can stole the bitcoin easly
I think it is not so easy to do this now because the bitcoin organization has launched a lot of safe and secure wallets for this purpose and using this wallet will make you avoid the loss of the bitcoin and it will give you more profit because you will be able to hold your bitcoin for long time using wallet will provide you a security key and the password of your wallet then no one can hack or steal your bitcoin until you share your wallet key with then and if they try for it then it is useless for them.
As far as someone has his private key in his pockets, nobody can steal his bitcoins and I am sure no one is that blind to trust anyone with such credential. Still, this world has people of all kind and I can bet there would be people out there who have shared it already, especially loving birds.

You must hold your coins yourself, this way if you lose them you know its your fault. Leaving your assets on exchanges and wallets without the private key is dangerous and you should always be prepared for the worst.

For the online wallets, enabling 2 step authentication where you have to confirm a code text to your phone offers a bit more security and peace of mind. By default it usually is only above 1btc but you can enabling it on all transactions, as well as logging in etc.

According to the article, the thieves will steal the phone number and adjust the account which is an exchange wallet.
So, it's better to use a web wallet which doesn't rely on phone number to open it but only strong password.
Or, just use an offline wallet like paper wallet, hardware wallet, ledger-nano and trezor will be fine.

Indeed essentially all technology will certainly be a loophole for hackers to commit crimes. Because the hackers already have experience that is high enough in the world of security, which surely will provide many things to give many disadvantages for us. In fact the system is very secure, bitcoin inside just that extra security forces (your account) it depends on how you do it. Because most benefit from hackers a chance at security account you use, if it doesn't you can do all of your Bitcoin surely will disappear

I think blockchain is not easy to hack because it is equipped with 2fa.
although in the article it is said that they also steal phone numbers to get 2fa. but I think that's pretty hard.
the problem now is MEW & Waves. no special security to enter into waves & MEW accounts rely solely on private key. this is very easy once hacked, even if only use fishing web.

Lots of suggestions here to use hardware wallets, but do hardware wallets only work for Bitcoin, or can you store Litecoin, dash, monero,  Etherium, on there as well?

For me the best way to protect you coins is by having your hardwallet. It is morr secure than online wallet. If you can't afford to have one, I suggest you save your coins on a trusted online wallet then enable the two factor authentication or 2fa. It will add more security in your online wallet. Then avoid giving your details to unknown person and avoid clicking untrusted links because they might be phishing sites.

Use some hardware wallet or any trusted offline wallet, this way, you could secure your bitcoin to the fullest, also to assure yourself so you don't have to worry about it all the time getting steal by someone. Don't fully trust the online web wallets out there, because they are too vulnerable to hackers and could easily penetrate.

Unlike the hardware wallets, you are the only one who knows the private key and it couldn't be hacked since it is offline most of the time.

Yes bitcoin theft is for real and there have a some very intriguing thefts that shakes the crypto-market but the article also suggested good ways you can avoid this theft through cold storage and paper wallet us well as cautious trading. To any major reward there are great risk but the ability to make it out of the danger is the solution you must seek

That article is talking about failed exchanges and exchanges where are undergoing problems. In this situation is easy to protect your bitcoin, just keep them in your wallet and don't keep them on an exchange. Choosing a desktop wallet is better than choosing a web wallet and choosing a hardware wallet is the best you can do to protect your coins.
Yes,Mt.Gox collapse is a big eye opener to all those who hold bitcoins in the exchanges.Otherwise,we should be ready to loose our bitcoins.I too used to keep a little amount of bitcoins in exchange when here was a huge transaction fee and transaction time was longer.But it is not advisable.So,its always better to keep our bitcoins in a desk top wallet say Electrum.But care should be taken to download that wallet from the official website only.Otherwise,we would have to loose our bitcoins just as a person lost his 40 BTC by downloading wallet from Electron cash.com instead of official wallet Electrum.org.
