You need to use a different password on every single site (and make it properly different instead of a variation).
All sites get hacked - bitcointalk was hacked in 2014, and everyone started to receive phishing emails plus attacks on their logins for various exchanges. Those who had set up separate passwords for each exchange were safe, but those who'd reused the same thing everywhere got burned.
Don't be lazy people - make sure all your passwords are different and make sure they are all at least 12 characters.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

People needs to learn more about Bitcoin's and ETH's (and etc.) fundamental. Everyone should at least know how does the wallet work and how different of each wallet type. Which kind of information is public and which one is not. So people will know which information that MUST NOT BE leaked, for example, private key.
For those who use web wallet who keeps the private key for you, make sure that you trust it otherwise everything could be just ... lose.
This is good explaination i think. What mean private key? Mean its just for us not for other people. But sometime logon fro phising link also one of the factor. Always chenk your link before logon.

I knew some people who became progressed because of Bitcoin. But I also know few who were victims of scammer, hackers and thieves. We all don't want to be victims. How can I avoid these?
They get hacked because of their negligence. It could happen through phishing web, virus, or less strong password. In order to avoid it, you have to create 2-factor authentication on your wallet.

You avoid getting hacked by not being greedy; there's a thin line between that and being financially street-wise. Most of the people I know who got scammed are those same people who believe that you could earn quick money in crypto without doing anything. The same people who time in time gets lured into investing into ponzis and hyips.

most of which are hacked as a result of personal carelessness. the rest are scam and phishing. maintaining security is very important and increasing computer security. with internet security and anti virus is a must. I think prevention is a very powerful thing.

In any financial system you will find people who exploit that system. Internet banking must continuously evolve to protect their users and Credit card information is hacked every day. The weakness in Bitcoin is the 3rd party services that support it. You will find that the Bitcoin protocol <code> is Bulletproof, but the software that are being used by 3rd party wallet providers and exchanges are the point of failure and the target of most of these Hacks. <this is not Bitcoin's fault, but rather bad programming from the developers that wrote that 3rd party software>
Try to avoid storing large amounts of bitcoins in 3rd party services. Keep the majority of your bitcoins in cold storage.

I think reasons of hacking has a certain reasons why people do that. Most of them, is maybe because they want to leak information or worst is to steal. If we bitcoiners will have a loose control to our accounts, these scenarios might happen.

There's a program going to make people holding money poor. So no wonder why governments hire hackers. Besides, it's not only because of govs. But this is all about profit.

To those that are becoming victims of hackers are probably not checking the websites that they are visiting. Giving out important information without asking themselves if that is a legit thing. To avoid this thing you just have to keep on checking the URL of the website you are visiting and if you found something suspicious or wrong spellings. Close your browser immediately. And with trades, most of the victims that are being scammed doesn't use an escrow, solution is just use escrow.

All are fiction, created for entertainment & chaos. There is no way you can get hacked bitcoin unless it is insider job or way beyond that (I mean the person/group control bitcoin system). There is a lot secret behind bitcoin system you would never able to know.
You just need to open your mind more to your personal securities, no technology have no bug, bitcoin is secure from its system, but the access to wallet and address is not, every people have their responsibility to take care of their private data and keeping the access to their personal address/wallet from any strangers as well as those hackers who's trying to steal data from vulnerable user. Cloning, multiplying, copying bitcoin in the real blockchain is obviously impossible or atleast, take too much effort to do, but, simply stealing data from the vulnerable users is simple thing that hackers could do.

Because they are not knowledgable enough about the threats and how hackers work to access their wallets or to perceive a scammer during a transaction.

As far as I know there are ways to protect your wallet and avoid being hacked but sometimes if you keep downloading unlicensed and unnecessary applications on your computer, there's a big possibility that you can be a victim of a phishing site. If you are living in an online world it is necessary that you know how to protect yourself against these things.

prevention is the most important thing. most people often forget and neglect with a private key, that's the main reason the rampant theft of a wallet address so we can prevent it more precisely and install security on the computer to avoid phishing that can take all your password and key address.

The issue of getting hacked is mostly due to its User. Why? first regarding with wallet, almost all of them have their own ways of getting fully secured but due to so many confirmation need to be done, many of the them don't even bother to go with it. Second with regards to scam site you can easily spot them with the word "FREE BITCOIN", "EASY MONEY" etc. No one in this world gives free money with no reason. Being "Bitcoiners" we have our own share of work. and lastly don't ever share important info the public you're not born yesterday to not know that the world is full of scammers.

Hacking BTC most likely job for hackers, nobody can find them and punish as in the case of banks. But in more situations users themselves to blame and pay for their carelessness Imself will be hacked one time on blockchain.info. My account have all security opsions: mail security and 2fa on the phone, but its cant save me
