It seems to me that nothing can be kept completely safe while you work in Internet and with cryptocurrnecy. Unfortunately, hackers are inevitable in the cryptoworld. Of course, you can take some measures to protect yourself but no guarantees can be given. You should not  open fake mails, do not click on unreal links. And anoter tjing is to write your domain names yourself in the browser address bar.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Ofcourse! I am very much afraid! Especially I just started doing bitcoin and started enjoying trades from my hard works then suddenly these hackers everywhere took every minutes and seconds of time to think and think of many other ways on how to steal money from hard working bitcoiners. It is not about the value of these cryptocurrencies that you have but the time, efforts, very hardworks and passion that you exerted to earn these precious cryptocurrencies that you would like to share with you family and friends. Then theses hackers would steal as if they're losers and doesn't know how to earn cryptocurrencies in good ways..That's absurd and they're so unfair! These people are No backbones and afraid to live their lives fairly. Well I still believe in Gods ways of giving what you need to have based on your actions and I will really pray harder on that.

Hackers r different, I think that many people understand what I'm talking about, there r white and there are black caps, so it all depends on what kind of people u talk about, if it's about black caps, then they need to be afraid, it's mandatory.

Who are not affraid of hackers especially if your accounts are not secure. That is why use double security for your accounts, wallets and other accoubts that involve your digital wallets or digital money. Just be very careful and have extra care for your accounts.

Being afraid and being wary are two different things.  Even MyEtherWallet was hacked because there was a DNS attack on google's servers.  

source:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelwolfson/2018/04/25/security-officials-weigh-in-on-protecting-cryptocurrencies-following-myetherwallet-hack/#7fcf1acea81d

Users lost 150k from this.  Some things to help prevent you from getting hacked:

1. Use a password manager to create and input your passwords such as lastpass

2. Always use 2 factor authentication

3. Use a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S or Trezor

4. It would be a good idea to wipe your OS every few months

5. Always look at your URL and double check it.  Ensure that there's the https: green security trust seal and even better when it shows the company's name

6. Never ever run any programs from a source in which you do not completely trust

7. Bookmark your sites.  A typo can have devastating results

8. Use VPNs such as IP Vanish

9. Never ever ever submit personal information to any site you do not trust.  KYC/AML specifically for very unscrupulous ICOs

10. If you really want to go all out, look into running tor os   website for more info : https://www.torproject.org/

The list goes on and on

All people need to be informed that double protection is the basis for the existence or presence of the crypto currency in the market. Cheesy

You shouldn't be afraid of hackers if you take all safety measures in order to prevent you funds from getting stolen. It's much less likely to get robbed when you store your crypto on a cold wallet.

It's certainly scary if it happens, but it seems that if you adhere to the basic safety rules, then do not be afraid much.

I think hackers are to be scared of because when they get little information about an account, they explore beyond repair. But in order to be safe from them, one has to be very careful of keeping important information and data to one alone and not exposing to anybody as this might cause harm. One should also be careful of applications to download and try to keep private keys safely.

fear is obviously Yes. because it is just what you're looking for this long and be an asset will be stolen easily by others without doing a job which means. protecting what we have certainly not carelessly give the address or personal data to a suspicious site. may not fully protect but can at least prevent.

Yes, as i found so many posts here that people's lost many coins due to hacking attack on their accounts. I always keep my private key at safer place and never share it to anyone in any circumstances because hackers always try to get your key by many means to enter your account. Safety of your private key is must to secure your account from any attack.

hacking ordinarily occurring on the online wallets and exchanging webpage. Some hash control rental destinations additionally been hacked a portion of the time. In the event that you know the keep going hack on pleasant hash server you won't keep your reserve on the any online wallet which does not give the private key access to you.

Wallet like Coinbase ought not be utilized at whenever in the event that you need to spare your reserve long time.

Everything in internet can be hack, so we must aware from it or always be careful to give our wallet or private key because a lot of bad people want to get rich easily by doing crime. But there are hackers who have good personality. But we must beware from hackers and careful to give information about our wallet.

You are definitely right and I support your decision to keep the tokens in cold wallet.
Let me remind you that the moment someone thinks that is completely safe is the moment that become vulnerable.

Yes, as long as you can do anything to make your money can be safe and stored by security method, you do not need to worry too much about the hacker.
Like me, I had bought a ledger wallet in the last month to hold my Ethereum instead of using exchange wallet or myetherwallet to keep my cryptocurrency.

Hackers can only access your account or wallet if there is a vulnerable in your system. I am not afraid of hackers because I secured my wallet with strong password and Google authenticator

I often hear that hackers steal coins with a wallet and it worries me. I hope that my coins are safe in the hardware wallet
