Stealing private keys is easier than stealing a physical thing, since it's harder to detect. There are many ways to steal private keys, from malware infecting your computer (or any computer you are using and bringing your wallet with you) and stealing the file, maybe keylogger to steal the passwords to phishing to get the passwords for your e-mail, online wallet or exchange account, not forgetting the ways to lure users to send their files (impersonating tech support, offering fake help, ..) or fake software (wallets, browser plugins, dicing or trade bots..) The people have to understand that crypto currency is money and they have to be very careful about the machine they use for handling that money.

Some are victims of phishing and this is the easiest way to steal a private key. They will send a mail or a link to the victim,and when victim accidentaly click that link it will be directed to site which is asking for thier private keys.

Trading with private key is very risky due to programs like keylogger. You have to be very careful.

You can get a hardware wallet, this will solve all your problems. That is basically the only way to have an always offline computer, either that or you could build yourself one. I am not advanced like that, making me opt for the retailer wallet.

Wallets are all the assets you have when investing bitcoin. So we have to protect them safely from being stolen. I think we need to set up a secure password for them. And there must be strict management from the anti-theft system of bitcoin. Make sure the investor will not be stolen wallet.

the end of this lot a lot of theft wallet, I think it is because we do not care in entering the wallet website because a lot of phishing sites, especially on Ethereum wallet. and to prevent it we should use metamask or better to use the offline wallet.

Not only recent days every year hackers are hacking the wallet but currently many new peoples are enter into the Crypto market they don't know how to use the private keys. so easily hack the wallet in nowdays and I am always suggest to use in hardware wallet for beginners because it will reduce the hacking issues in Crypto platform.

The wallet was stolen is usually not found, because the Digital Money Wallet needs a private key to unlock, there are many fishing sites, if you click their links, they will record your keyboard records, or send you a Trojan, so that your computer is likely to be controlled by them.

You can prevent hacking by using more secure wallets, keeping your private key safe and beware of the scammers and phishing sites.

Hacked private keys? If you do talk literally or do mean about getting it by force then it would be somehow an impossible thing yet those keys should be kept and bruteforcing wont really be effective and as a wallet user we should really be serious on keeping those keys because once it would got be compromised then expect sure loss of tokens would be happened. Preventing it would only depend on how a user is sensible in the full security of his own wallet. If you are careless then you are on high risk.

This is completely worst understanding about the crypto wallet mate. If you secured your wallet perfectly there no can attack the wallet at all. If anyone look to encrypt the wallet without private key information it will take 50 years or even more that too with the help of quantum computer. So one will go forward to invest the fund on hacking side. If you have your wallet with the private key, 2FA and wallet.DAT file it can be hacked. Unless none of fucking hackers cannot be done the crypto wallet hacking.

Hackers can only get a private key by creating a phishing site that masquerades the original site and entices people to fill it. Or maybe your computer has been infected with viruses and malware, resulting in the private key being stolen. To be safe, you should bookmark the e-wallet website of MEW, then when you need to trade, just click on the bookmark instead of access from the strange links, and should buy anti-virus software to prevent stealing personal information.

Always be careful in clicking malicious link that was sent to you through mail. Put your private keys in a safe place.

Honestly, I myself do not know the answer to this question. I also ran into this. It's very good that the wallet was practically empty. Use Efirov's purse, with it like there are no problems, there's a choice of a huge number of ways to enter the purse. Choose)
