I'm sure that everyone is afraid of hackers, including me. Therefore, this question does not make sense at all, it would be more correct to say, are you afraid of losing your money? If so, be more careful, if not, then give them to me.

There are rules. You need to follow them. I think no one's safe. But if you observe the security then you can avoid it.

I think hackers can always hack whatever account and wallet, so the best way is to diversify your coins into different wallets.

Of course a hacker can break practically everything, in the same way a thief can enter everywhere.
But of course, if a thief tries to enter in a bank (or at Fort Knox...) the security measures will make this task too difficult.
So, he will go after an easier target.

The same happens with hackers: if you take the necessary security measures, it still possible that a hacker enter in your pc, but probably he will search for something easier.





I think hackers can always hack whatever account and wallet, so the best way is to diversify your coins into different wallets.

it seems though we are also afraid to stay alert. because hackers can visit anyone. and the hacker was a parasite for the bounty hunter.

Of course. Actually this hacker are skillful enough to make look like a fool and you will get to give the following detail that they need in order for them to get access on your account. If you have lots of token brought and you also have BTC then that would be too scary though we know that bitcoin is secured but from the data on your pc or phone that they could access on it by phishing on it then later on you will realize that you give important details that should be kept secret like private keys or JSON file in MEW. Then they will transfer your holdings to a certain account and then you will lost all of your money and investment.

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 do. I have practiced safety measures on all my accounts like strong password and 2FA and never been hacked before but all these hacking news still made me afraid. Currently I'm holding my Bitcoin in a conventional wallet and I'm planning to buy a hardware wallet for ease of mind. The hacking attempts these days are quite dangerous and creative, from social engineering, phishing, etc. I heard hackers could also bypass a SMS 2FA. Thank God I never use a SMS 2FA for my accounts, I somehow knew it was unreliable.

Yes, I'm afraid of scoring hackers, because they can invade my personal life, steal my personal information and information and sabotage my appearance on some sites!

Of course it's very unpleasant thing to lose your money and investments at one moment. To avoid this we should keep out of computer all our passwords and private keys. VPN can help also but I'm not sure about 100%.

Frankly I am also afraid of hacker attacks, but I always try to anticipate to avoid hacker attacks by always using private browsing when want to access sites that require us to login. And always try to logout if you want to close the site or want to end the browsing. Maybe that's all I can do to avoid hacker attacks.

The reason i am afraid of hackers is given in the post above i mean if the can get into big corporations with ease then hacking our home systems(PC's) is walk in the park for them so why not be afraid we can only take precautions and that's it once we connected to the internet no one is safe.

In general,yes.But I am more worried about breaking the market exchange than my own wallet.
Indeed, at the moment the most vulnerable place to attack hackers are the cryptocurrencies exchanges. The introduction of new technologies such as Plasma Cash will help to remedy this situation.

when this is very vulnerable from hacker attacks,
many wallets and marketplaces hit,
my advice is to keep some of your money in the real world.

I hardly have any money in bitcoin so no Grin

But in all seriousness, it's a depressing feeling to get hacked. Use a VPN (not always the best though) and other security protocols.

Yes, I very much fear that I can lose my savings. That's why I use a hardware purse. It's much safer than trusting your money with online-wallets, as a Blockchain-info etc.

It is true that hackers are creating trouble all over the world. I am certainly very concerned about safety of my wallet and I have been taking some additional measures to protect my coins.
