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 this information we really need this especially for the begginers. I usually trust people before but I am wiser and better now. Dont share any information of yours to others maybe they will take an advantage to you and hack your wallet.

One of the value that we must have in this business is carefulness. We must keep in mind to be careful in every actions and decisions. One way for us to be successful is to study and persevere to gain more knowledge through research.

This is useful to protect our crypto wallet or any wallet that we have so we can sure that your money is safe from all hackers.
Make sure you have strong protection like do what you think can help to your device undentify to others.

Well said. The golden rule remains " keep your private keys secured". No one can hack wallet if sensitive information such as private keys, password and mnemonic words are not compromised.

[dgreat]

this is a useful information. nice tips to get your crypto wallet well secured.
i would also want to say this; mind the kind of text messages you respond to requesting you reply some codes you know nothing about. mind who you give your gadgets to use in making calls or browsing and i hope you all know hackers now hack through simcards so we all should be careful.
this is just my opinion.

[RiskySanchez]

You explain the basics of a wallet account that might be stolen from the owner but without overruling account security it would be better to choose a wallet hardware that has a high security level like ledger, you can check the ledger info here: https: //www.ledger. com / protect your crypto wallet before it's too late

Thank you ednsnowangel for your very important post that matters everytime. I think that there are many sending me email that allows me to join airdrops. I am very curious about it although the sites looks like realistic, but i doubt it. And i think it is that what you say a phising site. So, im grateful for this post and thank you for the wonderful explanation.

[edsnowangel]

yes we can't stop them but by using the methods I was posted this is a big step in stopping their motifs to penetrate your wallet account right this might sound just a prevention for others

[POM]

Almost all of us know these things but still sometimes we all being stupid and not caring these things enough. But it’s always important to be careful when you have crypto.

[DesiHunterrrr]

Good tips one time I got hacked and my private key got stolen now I will follow these steps to avoid hacking best way is try to use hardware wallet

[riyarana1123]

Yes,i agree with you sir that we have to protect our all information from the hackers because the security of our account is in our own hands.Moreover the bitcoin is a digital currency and operate by internet so it is easy for hackers to hack the account.So,for that we all investors have to alert and do not use any WiFi we all have to use our own net connect for any work such as transactions and we all also have to protect our wallet as well as use our own gadgets and private keys,is also as important as backups.In addition the gmail and email account are also be protective because they are very easy to hack.

you are right there be careful with the PK you have

[DewiKirana]

I've done it like the tips that you explained. To add tips from you, you should use a device such as a hard wallet such as Trazzor or Ledger to make it safer from hacker attacks.

yes you are right using hardware wallet is the most safe way of protecting  your crypto but not all coin is supported by hardware wallet too

[The Cryptologist]

Good job man! It is everything that a newbie should know but you forgot the other one which is not to store their altcoins in an exchange. No matter how popular or how huge is the volume an exchange got, there is still no guarantee that it is safe from hacking.

[Sandra999]

These are very useful tips in protecting our accounts from theft of these cyber criminals. Useful write up. However, it's best if we can get a hardware wallet and store these coins. With these, the coins can be protected with certainty

[Ava Duvall]

keep your funds in a paper wallet or offline. thats your safest bet. why? because if there online viruses and hackers can get to yo funds. is as simple as that.

[Ledy Alise]

I think this post should be pinned in the top of beginner section to avoid common mistakes what needs to be done with their wallets. It can reduce successful coin stealings by 50% minimum, I guess.

Use the anti-virus software.
If you are using a Windows computer, you should use antivirus software such as AVG or Sophos. Be sure to regularly install software updates and perform malware scans.
Remove suspicious web addresses.
This is a necessary pre-hyperlink (especially shortened links) from external sources such as those you do not know. If you are required to log into an account or provide payment details, please manually remove the URL links and log in directly to legitimate sites to ensure that it is not a fake site.
