Are you afraid of hackers?

[zhangcaisbsbn55]

Recently Bloomberg posted the information that it took hackers less than 10 years to steal over 14% of all existing Bitcoins and Ethereum from the wallets of their holders. The total sum they have stolen is more than $1,2 billion! How to protect yourself from hackers attacks? Are you afraid of this stuff?

I am afraid of them because they can take my coins away which is hard to make so I don't want to lose them. But I think the situation will be different in the future and we will be more safe.

Fear is not the right approach to security issue.  If you are fearful you are certainly going to make some costly mistake.  However you should always consider security implications of your actions and inaction online especially as regard your cryptocurrency safety.

We are all afraid on hackers. We all know that hackers stole billions of money and some of them is very skillfull that police forces cant even catch them. It is normal to have fear on them, all we can do is practice more safer browsing. We all should take precautions and be careful what we click and what we visit. Lets all wish that no one here gets hacked and stole the money we work hard to earn.

[Martinkuhn]

We should all be wary of unethical hackers who just want to steal or rob from others for their own.

There is only so much we can do to protect ourselves; not downloading suspicious software, not using a public terminal for accessing our wallets, not putting our private keys on our laptop etc. But sometimes we are at the mercy of the exchanges that we use or the website that we have to use such as myetherwallet when we transact. If they get hack our keys could be sent to the wrong person when we transact..

I try to make myself feel safer by diving my coins into multiple wallets. I have several wallets for my alt coins and a cold hardware wallet that is in my safe.

By dividing up all my coins, I do hope to be able to lessen my risk. And thats all we can do. The other way is to never touch the internet..

I think everyone is afraid to lose their money without doing something especially when the currency that they have was from their hard work. And of course most of the hackers are anonymous even the police are getting hard time just to locate them. I think that's is one of the reasons why we must be afraid to them.  But we can prevent simple hacking just by don't visiting any suspicious websites and don't just simply give our information

[Jannalsieh]

Everyone should be afraid and be alarmed with the rise of hackers, much more if they have a so-called organization.
This would allow hackers to work in a network, and poses much of  threat.
So trading platforms, and wallet sites, should strengthen online protocol  safety to ensure investors will stay in this digital industry.
Otherwise, discouraged investors would spell low prices

[elimi]

I am very afraid to hear the word hacker, because usually always a negative notion, so I am very careful with every link that I will click.

[voxdu12]

Use cold wallets that's all, and try not to store large amounts on exchanges. I'm not afraid of hackers, because my amounts are not very large, if I grow up I will think

[amitkumratra]

Who wouldn’t? Although when you have been invested your hardcore money into Crypto business. Where allover place cyber pirates are scattered.
So you must adopt a lot of security measures to secure your money like Google authenticator and also Email verification for all transfers. By these precautions you can save your fund from hackers. Because this hardcore money is not in your personal wardrobe. Although it is online, where anything is possible.

[nextel]

I do afraid of Hackers. In fact security experts are also afraid of them.
hackers can take away all your Crypto Assets if you're not very careful on protecting your wallets and keys especially when a crypto asset holder isn't using hardware wallet.
In my case, I never save my private keys on the internet of even in cloud. I prefer to keep it on my flash drives and keep it with me all the time.

[BitCare]

I think everybody afraid. In crypto world not enough to invest and earn digital assets. Everybody should worry about money security and how to store assets. I always make 2-3 print copies of private keys, public keys, etc. Also I make digital copies, including keys, addresses and wallet.dat files.

Meanwhile, your data can be phished by scammers and you will lose money on different sites. So I use only official sites and twice or triple check website url before entering data.

[ejarales]

I'm afraid to those unethical hackers as they will do bad things like stealing information including our money, crypto currencies without getting arrest. What I am doing is that, I always keep out those websites that look so suspicious. I also don't just share my info on the internet because just one wrong single information they can hack you already.

[Blinker123]

I'm afraid to lose my ethereum and all my coins, because last month some of my airdrop tokens are phishing/getting hacked.
And that is so awful for me. If you want a secured wallet try metamask, trezor or a ledger. That would be helpful to secure our wallets.

[cah ndablek]

Surely the majority of people are very afraid of hackers because of their very cruel behavior in the affairs of stealing assets without feeling that makes someone become frustrated and very disappointed in the incident.

[aalborg]

I am afraid a bit, but it makes me more attentive and  care about privacy. I just made some actions to prevent computer attacks. For all crypto users I would recommend using another PC for crypto payment, only for this only purpose.

[jtbcoins]

Yes, but I think I'm not so rich to attract hackers They haunting for people with hundreds of thousands USD.

[reighbut2017]

Yes, I really afraid of hackers because today hacking is a worldwide problem so we should take extra care to stay secure information to prevent accounts from being hacked.

of course everyone is afraid of hackers, they can hack and seize all the assets we have but from the private key technology that is given blockchcain they can only attack through "phishing" so we should all be more careful to open the wallet.

[Nachoo]

I am. Everybody should be afraid. But I feel safe at the same time because I have good internet habits, I don't rush in things and don't click anything if I'm not sure abount the source and its safety.
People should learn that and live a better life, not thinking too much about negative things that could affect us, because every system have bugs and exploits: hackers (and any other type of that field) will find them and use them. Having a prepared mind is a good starting point against the fear of being hacked

[MNtrio]

if you are afraid of hackers then crypto is probably not the right thing for you

Yes you have a point they can hack our wallet if they will know our private key in our wallet so their no need to afraid in hacking our account so be safe when sending a transaction only we can not re assure if can be transfer successfully. They air other people from airdrop asking our private key so don't give it, to prevent hacking our account.
