If you do not maintain the database maintenance time on your computer, you will be hijacked by hackers. You or your business should install antivirus software to protect your computer better. These hackers can infiltrate your network in many ways, and they can be transmitted over the internet or create virus software in the download link that you download. You should use caution when using any software and protect your wallet.

Its no longer news that an ICO in Japan has lost over $400 million to hackers. They promised to pay back investors who invested in their ICO. Thsi is a huge loss. After I read that news, I began to wonder. How safe is Bitcoin and Other altcoins? What measures should we take to avoid being hacked ?

Get a hardware wallet and have strong passwords, and do not store any passwords that can be accessed online. It takes longer, but it is totally worth it.

Actually, cryptocurrency itself is quite safe as long as you stored it in your own wallet without having any virus or someone knowing it besides yourself. Those news that cryptocurrency getting is actually exchanges or online wallet that hackers bypass most users account and just take it all away. The thing here is that it's human error that let hackers get in but the actually storage itself is safe as long as you just let it be with a strong password. To avoid getting hacked, never use any exchange as a wallet.

I agree but I have been hacked. It took me only to click on a wrong file and while I was cleaning the computer from the viruses, a hacker took remotely control of the computer and managed to steal my Bitcoins and ETH... it took less than 1 hour to do it, without knowing the passwords.
So now, I do not keep anything on my main computer connected to internet. Lesson learned.

I'm sure, Bitcoin and Altcoins are safe, I don't think anyone can hack the cryptocurrency technology system and so far, there have been no cases of cryptocurrency being hacked. Those who are vulnerable to hacking is an exchange and our wallet. Actually, it's not difficult to avoid this, the way is how you are responsible for maintaining your virtual assets and the wallet. You are in control of the security of the assets that you have.

Actually I still believe that crypto is way-way more safer than fiat money and cash for various reasons. Hackers are a threat, yes, but they can attack you in cases with fiat money as well.

What I saw, they are not as safe as they should be in order to be adopted by the Majority of users. It is a real ass pain to use them from the ordinary user perspective. I think we will see crypto intermediaries developing. People need transactions that is possible to cancel, their keys restored, accounts blocked.

I agree that now there are so many hackers but i am confident that all the cryptocurrency will till be very safe if we will used a trusted wallet like blockchain, we all know that the hackers is in everywhere now so we should always make sure that keep our private key so oyr money will always be safe.

I don't think that cryptocurrency is still safe nowadays. Even the hardest algorithm destroyed by the hackers. Even before, hackers can easily attack our wallet and even exchanges, they target. As of now, you are lucky if you did not steal of any amount but it usual to be stealed because internet is full of fraud and hack.

of all the information and suggestions from some friends all recommend to be careful in using your private key, as long as we still use the 2fa code your assets can be guaranteed safe, as long as it's not the exchange site that is hacked

There are many hackers in this generation, to make sure that your bitcoin is safe from hackers use a bitcoin wallet that have a high or strong security so that you are sure that you bitcoin is not easily hack by someone. There are many digital wallet but choose the legit and have high security wallet. Don't let anyone know the password of your bitcoin wallet, keep it.

hackers always have a way to break into our account or wallet. they will attack through our carelessness in securing your account and wallet. they can use a little gap to steal the balance in our account.

I think it is a cycle. Hackers beats the security systems then the security systems improve then hackers tries to beat the improved security system and so on. I think the best move here for us consumers is to take care of our access. We should always look out for phising websites and transactions over unsecured connections to eliminate human error in our part.

Most electronic money makers, and wallets store it. The security settings are quite good, but the stealing process is unavoidable. Because many people do not know how to protect the account and join the password is too easy. Can also reveal information on the network, click on the bad links will be lost. It is unavoidable that the perpetrators and criminals attack and take all their possessions.

The best way for you to avoid being hacked is to pick a wallet that has a good reputation like myetherewallet or you can also use an exchanger to hold your coins.

Even there are so many hackers right now i am sure that cryptocurrency is still very safe and if we can able to keep our private key for sure no one hackers can hack our crypto. And i am buying crypto for almost one year and i feel very safe because crypto is really secured.

You can avoid being the target of being hacked if you stay Low and Humble. Don't share anything like your Private keys and Password, don't store your documents online because that's the only way hackers has a connection with you and most especially be mindful of everything.
