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, if it involves money it is more frightening because no one wants to lose their money without having it used. Hackers are threat to someone and they can easily steal one's money and informations, no one likes to be stolen. Just be safe and search for things that you can do to avoid hackers, also avoid opening untrusted websites and putting your persona information every where, hackers are every where so be careful when you do cryptos.

Of course yes! I think everyone is afraid from the hackers and even you are! Once the hackers attack we don't know what will we do and how to return the money lost. But there many ways to penetrate hacker to our system like using hardware wallet, keeping private keys to your wallet and don't used other computer or browser to your wallet. Then always take care to your personal thing specially on your wallet.

Of course you have to be afraid of hacker, in the same way you are probably afraid of apartment thieves, as there is no 100% protection against them. But while anyone pays attention not to leave the keys in the door or the windows on the ground floor open, lot of people forget to take the minimal safety measures to protect their assets. It's true, a skilled hacker can probably crack our protections, but if they are good he will look for an easier targer. Yes because hackers is the threat which can stole my money in investment in just a single moment so I am worried about that.
Actually the answer depends on the target of the hacker when your computer crashes. If the only targeted file is useless, then I will not worry. But if you are looking for financial data such as bank account, paypal account, and even Bitcoin account, then I will be worried and afraid. I do not know how hackers work and how they steal account data like that, but I'll make clear passwords that are hard to guess and unrelated to dates and names. I would not be afraid if the only targeted file. Because I do not have important files like corporate documents and so on. All I have in my computer is songs, movies, games and stuff like that.

We all do. We just need to be extra careful of our wallets credentials as not to be victimized. Never keep all your assets in one wallet. As much as possible set a limit to how much each wallet should contain. In that way, when there is hacking, you might lose some value but at least not all. Don't store anyn wallet info online as well. Have a usb instead.

I do, but I know instead of just being afraid is we should be aware of how these hackers my attack our investments and account details. It is our responsibility to not become prey and fall victims into their schemes so I do research more regarding the tricks they have and what are the common and most recent hacking attacks most cryptocurrency investors have encountered so far.

There are was alot of case of hacking in cryptocurrency space and the last news is Raiblock, so hackers make this world bad and should be any new technology to fight with them. To avoid hackers i always protect all acount by 2 step verification and always login from bookmark link, dont click any link that we dont know detail,  and also dont download any unknow sotfware.

You should stay away from new trading platforms or not top ones. Recently bitgrail just got hacked good thing i didn't put that much bitgrail is one of the trading platform that you can buy raiblocks XRB that is why i have used it and now it seems they've gone as someone hacked into their system. First they suspended the withdrawal system and asked for a KYC Know Your Customer i have gone through all of that but still they've ran the investors money i hope these kind of incidents will lessen.

For sure, that's why i'm using very strong cold wallet witch costs a lot of money with additional security. Everything that people creates after the time someone will crack it, so we have every time to educate ourselves about the security and don't hold all eggs in one box as we can crack them all at one hit.

everyone is afraid of hackers
although I do not have any important assets
but a private asset, if it gets hacked and the hacker asks for a ransom
then that's the end of my online career

Yes I'm also afraid of hackers and I think all people had a feeling like that if they don't know how to keep it but I intend to keep it wisely that's why I'm pretty sure that hackers cannot hack my money online and as I started participating bitcoins forum I learn a lot of things about keeping it even I have only participate my second campaign that I will earn my second payment no one can hack it.

You know, hackers have stollen billions of dollars from simple debit cards we all hold. It has been our reality since the very first plastic card was emitted by a bank. So it is no surprise that the same things happen to crypto wallets.

this is so true and we can just can use preventive action from making this actually happen to ourself. Trust the big wallet that never been hack yet rather putting coin in exchanger in that have been hacked before.

Of course, Some hash hash sites have been hacked for a while. browsing multiple sites alone can leave you vulnerable, downloading the wrong one, copying and pasting it, revealing your private key, leaving funds at the exchange site. If you do not use them regularly, you can export private keys in encrypted form and delete any trace of its existence.

Yep. Also, try to invest your time knowing these preventive measures. I hate that people being surprised about something in crypto which in fact its something been happening for a long time since the fiat system had been launched. If you tried to look through it, it is much better in some ways than your treasured fiats.

Of course, all investors are afraid in the threat of hackers because they might can steal your money in just a single moment even the security is high. In order to prevent this they shoul always monitor and check the system to protect the investment of the public.

We must adhere to the elementary rules how not to become a target for hackers. We can protect ourselves from them if we are careful!

To be quite and just be simple is a great way to be safe. Even government computer can be hack by them, as we know that those have great firewalls and the great defender for them to be safe to hackers but still not enough. so what can we do to defend our self then? nothing just do nothing and be low profile as always for you to be not a target. Then to make more secure of our token, save them to trezor or ledger offline wallets for cryptocurrencies.

At the moment I am not afraid. Maybe it's because I have never had any problems with hackers. I hope it stays that way.

I' m afraid, too. But I know ,to avoid the hackers and fishing , you should use cold storage, also try to avoid friendship with strangers on social media because many of hackers are now using new toosl to hack wallets through Facebook and telegram, you shouldn't click everything.

I'm certainly not afraid, but I try to be careful. To create an additional barrier for a hacker and for unauthorized access can be a complex password. It will not only protect you from a virtual cracker, but also from a real one if someone wants to use your computer.
