prevention of hackers is very necessary, we really need to be careful that we also do not lose our property
because I myself have experienced it even though it is already a risk playing the online world

Yes the interner is a big risk when it becomes to money matters

Use Two Factor Authentication

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.
However, note that text and email 2FA are not recommended as these can easily be intercepted
 if someone has access to your email, or ports your phone number to a new device.

in order of most to least secure, are as follows:

Hardware dongle, see: https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/
An app on your phone that doesn’t sync your secrets anywhere (e.g. Google authenticator)
An app on your phone that does sync (e.g. Authy)
Email based
SMS based

Don’t Use Public Wi-Fi

We have access to public WIFI in a variety of places, from libraries and councils to hotels,
cafes and airports, allowing for an anywhere office. Crypto is 24/7 and hackers know it,
and access to Wi-Fi makes it tempting to log into our accounts, wallets and exchanges on-the-go. But this is risky.

The vulnerability that comes with public Wi-Fi is that they make it easy for hackers to access computers that are connected to that network.

There is some risk, even with a super secure Hardware Wallet, which is supposed to the the gold standard for security today. Most issues happen in the points of connection with your wallet, not with the wallet itself.

Security is important. Everyone protects their wallets safely

Let's not forget the importance of hardware wallets -- they make it much harder for thieves to steal coins!

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 good information for all of us, we always need to be very careful and protect our bitcoin transactions especially in using our wallet and private keys, be aware.

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.

Thanks. I'm newbie so these's good advices. I always save my accounts in word document then use double password to protect it

[levvv]

You can protect your wallet  by securing it on the hardwallet.
never put your password or seed or key on the other device other than your own device.

[ghost424]

The list you gave is a very good one and almost everyone that only got their accounts hacked are because of carelessness and rash decisions. Crypto wallets come with instructions on how to use them safely and they got extra security measures that we can add so we can be safer on using it.

yes absolutely that every wallet's has their own security measures but believe it  or not most of he people are not using that wallet features so  in the end most of the users got hacked and got their assets stolen by anonymous people or what so called hackers

[mabell943]

To stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet just be wise among of them, and be private to your password and be careful to everything that you will do in terms of this
because the hackers is waiting for the opportunity that you will be lazy.

[Oppang Inamo]

Those informations are really helpful to us. But still, theres really no way to stop them from hacking or even remove them instead we just have to be catious of the things that we do. The safety of our bitcoins is really in our hands so it would be our fault if we exposed our information to some hackers in the internet.

[heartwreck]

Just keep for yourself all the important details of your account.Dont share it to others.

[bad_apple]

I always kept this in mind alot. Also, I read this often to be able to share it with my friends just to be alert and safe all the time. Thankyou very much for such an informative post.

1. Use Two Factor Authentication.
2. Do not use Public Wi-Fi, because hackers will easily access the computers connected to that network.
3. Keep private Keys Offline, always keep our private key offline, in flashdisk or hardcopy.
