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.

Oops this is really very using full information dude. thanks for this. Hope this will use to protect their money. Dont give your private key fake accounts or websites. Be aware of fake websites.

Everyone must be careful of those applications that are not familiar to the user.

I've been aware of what apps and websites that I'm using and I don't enter my important keys to any of them.

Thanks for the tips. This thread is very helpful especially now that cryptocurrency is soaring and hackers are all over the world targeting everyone they can. Just recently I've read some news that some users of MEW have been hacked and reportedly missing some of their eth because there was a phising site that's very identical to the original site of MEW.

Yes you got it right

All the mentioned ways of protecting Your wallet is ok as to protect all data that is on Your PC or phone.
But I`ll suggest one more maybe additional way of keeping PK in safe mode without the need of doing some cryptography manipulations on the soft level.
As for me I always change somehow the existing PK by adding some signs in it or replacing some of them in order that I imagined myself.

Just like a bank can be robbed, a hacker can stroll on into your personal bank (your crypto wallet) and take what is yours.If the wallet offers a two-factor authentication (2FA) take it. This means that if someone had access to your login details, they would also need your phone to get the 2FA code.

Nice great idea for making pk more hard

Logically speaking, I don't know how to stop them and I don't know what they are doing. I did all those things you said, and it is just to protect your wallet but it is not a way to stop them. Hackers are hackers, they are just good in it.

[Tomborneque_1102]

for me, the first thing you need to stop doing is entering a porn site or some unknown website. it might be a phishing site. next, download adblocker. it might help you to detect the phishing site and warn you. then, stop being too curious over the Internet, always remember that you're protecting something. and most of all, always check your device if there's a keylogger installed, especially in your laptop or Computer.

Maybe you said above that is very true once but in this case I think if your wallet is hacked by someone hacker maybe it is a mistake of yourself, why? it's possible that you have entered your email, adress ERC20, Private key or UTC keystore into a fake or phishing Website. then be careful in using your wallet. Bookmark sites that are original so you are not fooled into using your wallet. If you get hacked, you should immediately change your wallet.

need always to remember these steps, i would recommend to have one offlice pc/notebook for backup info too

Hackers tends to ride  mostly  on our  carelessness, I receive alots of mail, signifying freebies, I ignore and delete such mail in order to avoid  phisting mails, also always double check before inputting your private keys on exchange, alot of  fake website used by hackers.

[realcrypto]

Getting hacked is the most fearful thing and is what everyone do not want to experience. Thank you very for the information, I see it as a reminder to be security conscious. Let just abide to what he has mention. do not wait until you are hacked before you take precaution.

This must be a warning to everyone and we must not stop giving them advice on how they can protect themselves from hackers/phishers.

Those annoying mails that we are getting, I don't know where they are getting our emails. It can be a leak information from an exchange that we recently used but as written on OP we must follow what it tells on the 4th and 6th reminders.

My advice is to use the metamask extension for your browser so you will not get phishing because this site is a potentially dangerous or phishing website. Some good antivirus and anti-malware software for your computer is infected by this stuff and you still have protection as a hardwallet to have multiple passwords to process through your transactions.

[dancingnancy]

Good information. Choice of wallets are important too, I will restrain from using third party and online wallets. It is easy target for hacker too.

Make sure to always save your savings in a hardware wallet as it becomes physically impossible to save your savings. Also enable 2fa on online wallets for added security. A strong password is a necessity when dealing with large amounts of cryptourrency.

[cordlesslake]

They are all good advice and they are the things that almost all of us do, but they have not been enough to completely stop the problem of wallet hackers.

2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE

this is very true. i have my friend that use the other pc or computer to login.
later, his tokens on the wallet have been stolen. it is not good if you use other pc,
your password or private key can be stored at that pc.
