HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET

Protect yourself from cyber criminals

Good day to all of you guys I am EdsnowAngel a programmer and a bit security tester in different platforms. Now I heard to my friends a lot of concerns saying "please help me my bitcoin wallet was hacked!!"

Ok ok first thing first when your bitcoin wallet gets compromised then your funds was send in different wallet then it is irreversible meaning no return of funds!! so I wanna tell everyone how to protect your bitcoin wallet from such kind of situation.

1st: Protect your GMAIL or EMAIL ACCOUNT
     
       We all know we use GMAIL as our email provider for such accounts like blockchain then we can recover and approve login with email in some wallets, now when your email account was targeted and get compromised then say goodbye to your bitcoin.To secure your bitcoin wallet(ex: blockchain or other) go to your google account settings. and then turn on the 2FA(2nd factor authentication) here is the guide on how to do it: STEP BY STEP GUIDE

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.

3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS
         
       This is the most important thing to remember for everyone using your ETH or BTC wallet without backing up your Private keys then you can't recover you wallet in case you forgot your wallet.PK's are very important but there are thing you should do first. 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.

Very well said, That's right at first you need to protect your email address don't give your email or gmail because if they know your email he can access your bitcoin wallet protect your email do not trust links in email it's true if you click that email hackers can access your email so be wise and vigilant in everything you do in internet always think twice and bitcoin has no easy money don't trust anyone if your money can double in just a week you need to search if it is legit or not try to search before you click or invest your money.

Ill just keep my private info by keeping it on myself, also I do not use a site that has not  been a good one. It is better to use a 2fa especially if we talk about the security on a wallet it is better to have it than loging on a single password.

Good info here for beginners like me. Worth a read. Let's all be careful here. thanks for this valuable information.

You write quite detailed. It is very helpful for me and I would like to suggest you be able to use a hard wallet to secure your information instead of the free wallet that the publisher offers. Besides, it is powerful security software

[chehintog_24]

nice tips that I've ever read in this forum this information's will be very useful for the beginners here in the world of cryptocurrency for them to avoid hackers to hack their account.

Absolutely right! This topic is so impressive, very helpful and totally informative. Hackers are just everywhere, smart and unknown. But with all those tips mentioned here in this forum, we can somehow avoid being hacked and secured our accounts properly.

[yonjitsu]

You can't stop hackers from doing their bad deeds as long as there are people who are not taking care of their crypto wallets. The only way to stop them is us to be careful all the time because no matter how secure our wallets are, it is nothing if you are too careless to keep the key safe.

[Tatzky]

To remind also the others, stop using free internet wherever you go, try to use data or load or just bring your pocket wifi with you, company wifi is also good to use but don't use public wifi to open your wallet, only to check your FB messages.

The best way to make our wallet account safe is our own way. However, OP has made a solution to make our wallet account stay awake, I guess this thread is worth to be given appreciation. I believe 2FA is the best way to avoid hacker accounts, passwords that every second will always change will make them (hackers) will be very confused to try to steal our assets.

[Snakerist]

Really great article, thank you. Security in cryptocurrency world is one of the most important aspects and everyone thinks about it if they want to protect their funds.

[mimiko]

you can't never stop a hacker one's a hacker always  be a hacker but  you can avoid for that kind of people .. you must be wise and think before you click the link the most important dont trust anybody ..

Haters certainly expect bitcoin to die soon, and the thing we can do is fight back by buying, let's buy bitcoin so it can make the price go up and surely the haters will crying and even die.

[honey8]

Following things can be done to avoid hackings

Activate 2FA
Always save private keys on paper wallet and external wallets.

[oceantiger]

Thanks Bro for the detailed measure to apply for total wallet protection. This is rich with valid security tips and if adhere to will surely help the wallets safe from the marauding hackers and cyber thieves.

Some say you need to buy a hardware wallet to store your altcoins and they will safe. Some say they use Metamask to protect some website from hack your private key or your information. I think you need to make sure you store your information in offline storage so even your computer hack your information is safe. Be careful also to visit phishing site.

Usually they use the domain that have a name like the origial one, like blockchain and bIockchain its look similar for the first see right? but if you access it and you input your data into that site your coin will gone forever stealed by the hackers. Do not use Public Wi-Fi, because hackers will easily access the computers connected to that network also,Keep private Keys Offline, always keep our private key offline, in flashdisk or hardcopy.
