[Fretcy]

To stop hackers from hacking one need to choose the best wallet to store crypto currencies securely such as hard ware wallets as online wallets as easy for hackers to hack and one might lose their crypto currencies if stored in online wallets, other thing to keep in mind to secure the crypto currencies from hacking is by choosing the right online exchanges as there are many online exchanges where many have lost their crypto currencies while trading so it is not secure to store the crypto currencies in exchanges and exchanges can only be used for trading either for selling or for buying crypto currencies.

First we can choose the best wallet and I think wahrware wallets are the best and also we can set strong privet key and dubble security system.

Be cautious when downloading files, not only in email. Remember that there are clever people out there in crypto. You’ll notice files posted in communities, on Telegram, Facebook, Reddit, etc. As tempting as it is to click them, be aware that they could be bait. Always caution.

"3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS" If you only take this security measure, it is enough for me. With other security considerations, you can provide maximum security.

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.

       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.

In the 5 point of the article, is very important, but  people not thinking about it. Many people using a PUBLIC WI-FI and don't even suspect that attackers can use it. Also very dangerous to give a access to open to personal files in the different apps.

[Cobrak777]

Securing your cryptocurrency is very important because your wealth in cryptos are involved here. So don't trust everything when we are talking about security of your cryptocurrency because evil person can do anything to steel or to hack your property. Using a hardware wallet is one of the secured wallet you can use and do a lot of authentication and verification using your private information such as emails and phone apps authenticator. Be smart and wise to prevent hackers.

Also taking care of our devices is really needed.

[BLAST2MARS]

The most rampant case of hacking is through phising emails. A lot of unaware users can easily fall for this type of scheme. So don't give out your personal emails to anyone especially here and bookmarks all the sites that you frequently visit because only the famous websites are prone to this.

[Skydreamer19]

Hackers can make an attack thru online connection or internet because anywhere in the world we are all connected by means of internet and it seems like all computers is within our reach if they can break the wall of our computer, so I think to minimize the hackers intrusions we must aware always not to put our wallet password in a public site that they free to attack and go offline whenever our computer not in used.

Yes that what you said we need to protect using hardware wallet like trezor of ledger to avoid hacking or else that can stole your funds. I highly recommend using this to avoid losing funds.

hardware wallets are the best thing to do but because it  cost a little amount some or most of the bitcoin or crypto enthusiast can't afford to buy it or don't like to buy it that's why they just use free online crypto wallets

[anatolykarpov]

I would also like to add that you should use an hardware wallet to store your cryptocurrencies in. It is much safer than copy pasting your private key everytime you login to your wallet. Another beneficial thing is that with most hardware wallets there is a small screen on them so that you can double check the amount and the adress that you are about to send. If all is well then you sign the transaction physically by pressing the buttons on the wallet.
