You shouldnt be afraid  because if you have a nice antvirus+ malwarebytes your computer would be secured,if you still have doubts with your computer's security you should get some hardwallet because these wallets will secure your coins even if your computer has been infected,there will no chance that these malware would steal your private keys because hardwallets has built in private keys.

The best option for you will be move your coins to private wallet because there will be the most safe there. Do this as fast as possible because hackers still trying hack differents wallets, so now it is very risky especially with this big amount

The first rule of crypto world is to never keep your coins on an exchange. If you don’t have the private keys to your coins, then you don’t own it. Mt gox is one of the biggest example of why your coins shouldn’t be stored on an exchange or the recent bitgrail fiasco. It doesn’t matters if you enable 2FA or how long your password is, if the hot wallet of an exchange gets hacked, the 2FA isn’t going to help.

It is true. I've had that experience where I lost the coin assets I left on the exchange wallet and I lost a lot of money.

Hacker and the scammer are only normal in this kind of job or in this kind of world because hackers and scammers have one only goals. They steal your earnings or profit just to have it. They do anything just to steal your money. And there are ways how to  prevent it. For hackers make sure that your password is really strong consist of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers you may use a symbol too if you want and don't click for the untrastable link. For the scammer. Just do research in your buyer or seller

this depends on how secure the exchanger you use, but my advice you should move the coin that you have from the exchanger to the private wallet, because there are many large exchangers that successfully hacked by hackers, eg etherdelta who have several times experienced it, and the loss is us the users

Most of us afraid of hackers because we need the security of our acount especially in dealing with business and also online transaction.

I think as long as we can protect our account from the attacker and we can keep safe the account then we don't have to be afraid with the hackers that we should know that there is no 100% guarantee that our account will be safe. and if we have done every way that we need to protect our account, then it's mean our account is safe but we still need to check the account and change the password or else in other time.

do not be afraid about hackers if you consider security privacies, use anti viruse, mining banning plugin, do not use flash memories that may have some viruse and take back up from ur files, u most use 2FA, long and random password and so on.

I think every person who has large amount of coins in their wallet is afraid of scammers and hackers. But if you securely hide your private keys and doesnt use one password on all your accounts in your wallet, you are safe. There is no need to be paranoid about hackers. Hackers will take too long to know your password or private key.
Being afraid will not help you in staying away from the scammers and hackers and that you actually need to do something in order to stay away from such kind of people and to keep your money safe. You can’t stop the hackers from doing hacking or thing like that. You actually need to take enough of the precautions which cannot let the hackers and scammers to grab your money.

To be afraid of hackers is a good thing (they are thieves...) but only if the fear lead you to take the right security measures.
Nothing is 100% safe online, and any protection can be cracked, but if you take the right measures, usually a hacker will look for an easier target.

Don't keep all your coin on one purse-it's a risk, especially if it's a purse on the exchange. Wink
 All that I buy for a long time I hold on the official purse of the coin.

Do not worry too much, it will make you tortured.
This may happen to beginners but as long as you secure your wallet no one will be able to steal your assets.
Many options of wallet that can be used.
yes your right be comfortable if you think your key they dont know, but always be secure always.

It is safe in somme ways but not absolutely. But nothing is totally safe in the world so keep calm and do what you need to do.

You shouldnt be afraid  because if you have a nice antvirus+ malwarebytes your computer would be secured,if you still have doubts with your computer's security you should get some hardwallet because these wallets will secure your coins even if your computer has been infected,there will no chance that these malware would steal your private keys because hardwallets has built in private keys.
Don't be afraid as long as no one know your private key, there's nothing can happen. I suggest to you to avoid them is by telling to anyone your personal information especially when your in crypto world, also to not be get hack its better if you have wallet to put your coin there, but choose wallet wisely.

The rule # 1 of preventing your coins from scammers is not to trust any links having something to do with your MEW/other wallets immediately. Checking who the sender is should be every crypto enthusiast's daily routine.

Everyone is afraid to be hacked and to be scammed. I think one of the reasons behind this is, they want to see the outcome of their hardwork.
