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?
There are safe hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano S to protect your cryptos against hackers. Unfortunately exchanges are still a high risk but it's about to change. Exscudo exchange will be open for beta testing in February promising the best security solution to protect traders funds. I cannot wait to see that platform.

Yes, I think everyone here is afraid of hackers since we keep all our investments on the internet and on the computer these days. Unlike your bank account or your money bills, everyone on the Internet can steal your money without you knowing. Most of the people that answer No are likely small investors.
In the bank, your investments too can not be 100% safe. The scoundrels were always and everywhere, so you have to be always careful and you need to stick to security everywhere.

Anyone can be a hacker in their own way. The main thing is to avoid them by being cautious and when it comes to the cryptoworld, you need to be careful where you give out information that's sensitive, or where you invest or who you trade with.
A lot of people are afraid of hackers; thus, I'm afraid of hackers too. Hackers are good at phishing or collecting the information of the user. Once they hack your account, it is hatd to recover it and you can lose all your money.

Yes, of course I am afraid that hackers will steal my coins. I have been very careful in order not to be hacked. From securing my computer, getting a hardware wallet and check very carefully when I copy and paste addresses. It only take a small mistake or overlook to lose my precious coins to the hackers.

Yes, i am afraid of this hackers, i have an experienced recently. Some of my airdrops get by the hackers, and fishing fishing it. That is so cruel. Those hackers are pro in this sequence but take advantage of those who get your coins. Make it safe now and secured. That is the best thing to do.

I am afraid of hackers and I think everyone should be. 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. I try to keep myself safe and suggest everyone should protect himself.

I don't really. I managed everything such way that hacking can't do anything too bad for me. Really I'm not visiting any weird sites and doesn't download anything.

Every normal person is afraid of hackers as they may be initmidating to people's profit. One thing that I learned, however, is that hackers aren't pretty interested in ICO's, as they hold a lesser value than the BTC and the major altcoins (ETH, IOTA, ADA, etc.). Therefore, I've spent some time on investing on ICO's and can postulate that this is a very efficient method, disregarding the risk, of course.. You still need to read a lot, but at least hackers won't (hopefully) attack on your current porfolio. For example, I've invested in Cointed, Giftz, Monero, and Restart Energy and have received a satisfactory ROI, as a result. Therefore, I'll continue the same way.. Has anyone considered an investment in Omnitude? Thank you in advance!

You don't have to be afraid if you know how to secure your wallet. Use cold storage avoid phishing links and also try to avoid friendship with strangers on social media.

Everybody should be afraid of hackers after the history of Mt Gox and most recently the Japanese exchange which got hacked . So its always safe to buy a hardware wallet if your investments are high compared to Hardware wallet price

Yes, to be honest I am very afraid of the hackers, because in an instant they can take over the coin assets that we have belong to them. Because in this online world, this crime is very easy to happen. To anticipate the hacking we must be careful, especially browsing on the internet, because a lot of web phishing or the like. We should save our assets in the offline wallet and use extra authentication in all our wallets (offline or online)

Yeah I am afraid of hackers that steal all your coins out of the wallets. But I am just worried about the coins that I have not stored in my trezor or in my Ledger nano S. For anyone that has not a cold wallet yet... you should buy one instantly.

For sure dude, hackers are like pest to the crypto world. They steal your money from you in the blink of eyes. I use hardware wallets too, hoping the hackers can’t crack it.

Just about anything can be hacked. The best way - put the crypto on cold storage and lock it up at a secure location.

Of course! Who could not be afraid of them? Hackers has a lot of improve and modern on which they can hack even a high security stuffs, so it's not safe at all. We can't stop them but we can prevent them. First of all never trust anyone, strangers or friend. Unless it is ur very close fried and you trust him the most. Never trust your personal information with anyone, because this might use against you. Never trust your wallet key to anyone but you please keep on a safe place on which only you will no, encrypt it and put hight security password. Always think before you click, think before you made decision. Be wise we already know what is right, sometimes out instinct is right so try to never have a doubt on your instinct.

Yes, I'm afraid because all of a sudden your hard earned money will be lost. We should be careful of the sites we're visiting and always have our private keys secured. That's why I'm going to buy trezor or ledger nano to be more secure.

When I collected a good amount of coins I began to fear that my wallet might be hacked. So I bought Ledger. I think that now my coin is safe.
