You can stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet by, not trusting anybody, not showing anybody your wallet key you are the person holding your wallet key. I believe that by keeping our wallet key well not showing or making it known to anyone we can stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet.

Good point, these will without a doubt help a ton of our co-member especially newbies regarding this matter. However, we should comprehend that we can never prevent hackers from doing what they do. We can just anticipate them by doing these preventive measures or maintaining a strategic distance from any suspicious or malicious files. Preventing is unique in relation to avoiding, something we have to recognize to make things clearer.

It is true that hackers are creating problems all over the world, but they can't hack your wallet, if you take necessary steps. Use hardware wallet, if you can afford or you can use blockchain.info which is also very good. Before furnishing your information, make sure that the website is secure, it is very important.

2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE
 
       It's a very bad idea to use someones device(ex:from friend) to make a transaction in your bitcoin wallet why? because first you don't know what is the capability of that person regarding that matters and you don't know if that phone has a lot of malwares and spywares.So we cannot say that you are safe using someones device to make transactions.

Make sure you store your PK backup somewhere that you only know and not from your computer because there are some spyware that might inside of your computer that can steal that file so make sure you back it up print in a paper and hide it to the place where you only know.

4th: Don't open links from malicious emails

      This method was called email phishing where an attacker will send the same email in thousands of random users once the victim will click the link in that email then his or her device was compromised to avoid this please do not click the links included in the email immediately please always have time to check who is the sender of that email and if that email is came from the site where it supposed to came from.

5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI 

      It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions.

6th: Do not login on Suspicious links

     This method is called PHISHING where an attacker  will send you a link to login with your bitcoin wallet luring you with the legitimate site example is:
the real site is: https://www.blockchain.info/
the fake site is: http://www.blockchain.ga/

then once you login to the fake site then the hacker or attacker will have now your credentials. Please always check for the green lock on the url bar and the word HTTPS in the link.


so this are some of the way to stop hackers to hack your bitcoin or crypto wallet. If you have other information then you can comment it down and lets help others.

For me, to secure your wallet and to prevent facing hackers you must think and analyze first the sites that you are entering because in that situation maybe the hackers will detect or know your wallet. Think before you click.

[gerasimo]

This is a good read for beginners like me. very useful information.

[Nivir]

Now that the world is becoming more into digital that they really these kinds of reminders. Once a hacker enters your computer there is zero to small chances of stopping it. So prevention is a must here.

[Singbatak]

Actually you can not prevent hackers from entering your wallet. So the only thing you can do is use a secure wallet and of course reliable. This is my advice to you

That's the list of secure wallets
Electrum.
Jaxx.
Mycelium.
GreenBits.
Blockchain.
Trezor.
Ledger Nano S.

[artichandra]

Thank you for your tips, very useful information for new user. Keep doing all step stated will make your wallet more secure than before. You can't trust anybody when it's talk about your bitcoin wallet.

[insculpt]

I fell victim to a hacker because I did not follow these guidelines. One other point that you missed is "never send yourself an email with Private keys or passwords". Do not use the same password on everything.  1 account 1 password. Use2fa for everything

[OrangeLover]

Good info! Really useful for beginner like me. 

[shashkova]

very useful information here. thanks for this

[Alacate615]

for me, the first thing you need to stop doing is entering a porn site or some unknown website. Bookmark sites that are original so you are not fooled into using your wallet. If you get hacked, you should immediately change your wallet.

We can prevent them by keeping our private key and our computer safe or by just buying a hardware wallet.But most of us are storing the private keys digitally that is the biggest mistake of crypto holders,the hackers not hacking your wallet they just doing it by hacking into your system or through phishing our clipboard details.

[The Cryptovator]

Thanks for share your idea. It will help people to prevent scam or hack. Recently most hacking occurred by phishing site. That's the main problem now. So we should more care about phishing site. We can bookmark the address or double check web address every time once we enter password or private key. So it will prevent us from scam. Because prevention is better then cure.

[julielyn]
