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?
of course many people are afraid of hackers including me. One time I accidentally put my private key while filling up a form for a campaign I joined. Sad to say all my airdrops earnings disappear in a matter of minutes. That's how hackers works fast and easy. That's why we have to be very careful while putting up or wallet address and private key. Hackers are everywhere. |

Hackers are a big problem, if you do not use good security measures you can see the wallets empty, as happens to many people every day. If you use the right precautions and wallet offline, however, I think you can sleep a little quieter

sure I'm afraid of hackers, any system is not protected to the maximum, and I can wake up one day without all my money(
Tip: just do not store data in the cloud, on your computer in files, better or on media that is steamed or in a notebook or Notepad. By doing so, you'll increase your chances of not being robbed. |

Hackers, all those who use the internet are afraid, but with the double layer security of the current account, I find it quite safe, and no longer have to worry hackers as before

Of course I am afraid of hackers, digital money and personal data can be taken by them, for that I must increase the security of wallets, passwords and other important data data, lest we lose all our assets. Saving your password from hackers is the most important.

We are all afraid of hackers of course because they have a knowledge of stealing ones account but as long as there are intelligent people who are capable of what they do they are developing a program or a technology that will repel a hackers.

I think Yes, that must be something to watch out for. it's possible for hackers to get coins to the point where you can use them with malware-infected computers and stay safe. The only thing you need to worry about is social engineering. If they can convince you to press a confirmation button in the ledger then there is not much you can do.

Yes, of course, this is a very big problem. One yesterday's incident with Pavel Durov's Telegram App is worth it. Most of all I'm afraid for my wallets on the stock exchange and mew. For this, I even included double verification using the Google autentificator program.

Of course who isn't afraid of hackers anyway. I think everyone is scared of hackers. Imagine all your hard earn coins all gone in an instant. All the hours days and months all wasted. That is why we must be very careful and exercise safety when dealing with others. And never trust anyone whom you only know for awhile.

I think every internet user is afraid of hackers, especially when handling sensitive information or making online investments, or storing your income online, Internet is an open danger zone if caution is not taken, hackers will get away with almost anything and you wont ever get them back

If only a little. And so, it is necessary to observe well-known security measures and study new trends in this direction.

Yes I am very afraid of hackers, I've never lost my balance and it's very sad.It took me a few weeks to get my spirits back up. So now I am very careful in saving my balance.

The security risk for any cryptocurrency is with the Bitcoin wallet and how secure the owner keeps it and any systems they use to make transactions. When using cryptocurrencies, you need to make sure you take extra security to protect your wallet, keep it secret, add multifactor authentication, use encryption and check every URL. You need to take the same protection with cryptocurrencies as you would use to protect other personal assets, such as your Social Security number, bank accounts, and credit cards. After all, as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to increase in value, you can count on cybercriminals following the trend.

2. use metamask
3. dont open wallet anywhere

Yes I am afraid of hackers but it's not only me, but everybody! Usually hackers snoops around social media looking for conversations about cryptocurrency, looking for an opportunity where an investors post phone numbers or emails for easier contact. They pose as victims and call your phone provider and have your password reset. It helps to call in advance your phone provider and request to put all level of security and add a passcode to it. For added protection, set a long and hard password that only you will know. Diversify among exchanges and better use different email and password for each.

Well that's one of biggest problems of crypto. There is no place to appeal or apply if your coins are stolen or you got scammed. It should be somehow solved because if people feel safe they would invest more and more. I don't want to put my 100k if i don't feel safe. All we can do as indivual is to keep or keys and passwords safe and secure.
