Are you afraid of hackers?

[styca]

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?

It's important that people are aware of this danger, and remember to be vigilant. One approach that fraudsters use is FOMO with airdrops - sometimes people are so frantic to get one of the limited spots in an airdrop that they fill in everything that the form asks, even if it wants their private key.

after the etherdelta DNS hacking event, I started to fear hackers
I felt more secure by taking the ledger nano s

[castis]

I was not afraid , but my wallet and poloniex was hacked before, so now im backuping all my information plus using virtual machines to get access to wallets.

[partyzan]

Yes I am afraid of hackers. Hackers are the biggest danger for everyone who keep his money online and can wipe someone’s entire bankroll just for couple of minutes if they get access.

[scrototeabaggins]

Not all hackers are bad. White hat hackers helped the police after the assault on Japan-based crypto money exchange Coincheck'e. Hackers attack some sites and use our computers for crypto money mining. The Ukrainian policeman operated the operation and caught hackers.

Yes, i saw a simular airdrop one month ago, where instead of "put your ETH adress" were written "put your private key" . But the tragedy of the situation is that some people were led, and then they asked people on this forum how they can return their ETH back.

Personally, I can tell you yes. These hackers have stolen lots and lots of money, information and datas that are not supposedly deserve on their posession. I have friend whos account was hacked and his money were all gone in just a matter of minutes. All the hardworks and all the efforts were just turn in to trash. We should be vigilant and not be complacent with our accounts since hackers are just lurking to take their opportunities at any time.

[Fenakar]

Every one of us are afraid to loose their money, to loose their effort to earn this money.so i don't think if there's people don't afraid to hacker 

[Cryptonimous]

personally am gonna make double protection, like give 2A our autenticator doesnt connect to any internet, so it can make safe enough to our bitcoin

[jassanpary]

As a newbie, I'm definitely afraid of such people. I haven't learn much about protecting my income thus it makes me worry. I hope hackers would stop, although its impossible, sadly.

Generally, everybody afraid about the hackers, as the technology developed so many options are there to secure our property but at the same time hackers uses the same technology to hack the things, so it's quite natural that to afraid to the hackers.

[Cryptomagnus]

You need to be afraid of hackers in the same way you need to be afraid of thieves: you never be 100% safe, but with some security measures there are good chances that the bad guy will try to hit an easier target.

[albos]

i think everybody must learn operational security, cryptocurrency field  is in infancy state, and all the responsibility for operations are on shoulders of one's who works with cryptocurrency. I try to learn as much as possible about dangerous cases in order to prevent them

[JohnMacZeppelin]

I think that all people are afraid of losing their data, it does not matter personal information or money, but I think that everyone thought about it, so I think that everyone is afraid of hackers.

Who aren't?  That's why we  should be very careful and practice a safer browsing habit. Don't access any of your wallet in a public computers/internet cafe. Secure your belongings like laptop/smartphones and avoid opening suspicious mails and softwares.

[idgaf007]

I am paranoid with people hacking my accounts. I try my best to visit websites that I only trust but It won't keep me from exploring or maximizing my crypto journey. Research and Ask from experienced people before doing something and lastly never give your private keys to anyone.

[jdeanne92]

Yes ofcourse, who would not be? They can easily get what they want in cyberspace. No system is safe to a professional hacker so always be carefull. Put extra layers of security in your private informations.
