[gurunanakji777]

Your post is one of the best post on how to save your crypto wallet from hackers by following some simple things. You explain the things in very good way. I am very thankful to you. I would also say most of the people didn't secure their email ids with 2FA it should be our first step to secure our email with authenticator to avoid hacking and our private keys should be saved on some paper & should not be saved on computer.

This is a difficult thing because hackers always develop techniques to hack our wallet, even it must be admitted that at this time many promising program offer can hack private key, and to overcome it all we can do is activate all security feature that is 2FA.

Excellent description, and do not forget Trezor / Nano Ledger for added security. We must anticipate all forms of crime, not least in the world of crypto.

Yes the most safe wallet for now is cold wallets since before you can hack them you need a physical contact

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.

Thank you for offering the solution, indeed, is currently vulnerable to the theft of personal information! One of the reasons for losing your bank account and other valuable accounts! Be careful when sharing personal data.

I think this is impossible, as we know that hackers are always active to hack our bitcoin and the easiest and safest way is to enable all security features or 2FA, and I like to use web wallet like Xapo or coinbase because it comes with 2FA.

you can protect your wallet by not visiting and imputing your wallet details on a fake site and sure you don't install any site add-on to your browser and make sure you complete all the security settings in your account, make sure you dont install crack software's in your computer system or phone and dont mistakenly input your private key in any website form.

[quicksilv3r]

 dont mistakenly input your private key/12word in any website form.
 dont save your private key/12word in any cloud server notepad file.

Hackers are everywhere and they attack us anytime, aside from not saving your private keys elsewhere we should be very careful as well when it comes to opening or replying to a certain email, make sure that it's legit before you open it. Specially in accessing any unknown website that will lead to fraud.

Nice information, true. We cannot stop hackers to hack our wallets but we can do something to prevent it,what you said was all true since hackers has a lot of ways to hack that is why we are responsible of our own personal information and these thread will surely help those to be more responsible and private when it comes to email address,etc.
