Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin from Hackers.

[AimHigh]

Yes you are right that is one of the way to keep our coin away from the hackers so we need also be a vigilant  for us to be safe our bitcoin. Specially those a lot of bitcoin that need to be secured but I think even you have full security on online wallet it still hackable I think you need to use hardware wallet or the offline wallet to secure your bitcoin.

All we know that hacker is all around of us so we need to be secure. I think there are some tips to make your bitcoin secure and prevent from hackers. The best thing to avoid is to give your personal private keys and password of your account or your wallet. And if possible do not talk to others even in your close friends about the amount of bitcoin and it's equevalent value when you talk xash because in that time that they know there is possibility that they have a motive to hack your account if there is an opportunity. Make your every transactions private for your own safety.

For me i protect my bitcoin by SMS phone verification when i want to access to my bitcoin account from another computer

may not store important data on a computer, save all our important data on disks, do not access addresses that are unsafe and potentially crime, always monitor or examine our important data. the security of our money in bitcoin is guaranteed safe, only the entrance through the password key, then the confidentiality of passwords is the only thing we have to save separately from our computers.

- We must have our own way to keep our Bitcoin safe. The account we use must have a unique password, and not easily guessed.

- Do not equate account passwords associated with Bitcoin with other accounts such as social media, because it is vulnerable to hack, let alone the followers of its social media a lot.

- Use two-factor or 2FD authentication. Additional security layers are easy to apply. Quite a few apps like Google Authenticator as a 2FD installation provider. In essence, it works as a second security layer after the password. When you've entered a keyword into your account, the system will request a two-factor authentication code. The six-digit code does not need to be memorized because it changes every 30 seconds.

- And one more, do not trust everyone. Suppose we provide information about our Bitcoin account to our Mother, it is not impossible that our mother could just tell it to someone else. With the spread of such information will increase the potential for breaking.

I believe it is the same way like how we prevent other people knowing our social media account password. It works the same way however for this, we might eventually lose a lot of money if we are not extra careful with our wallet. I totally agree with your statements about trust no one. This is also one of the ways to keep your Bitcoin safe. No matter how close you are with them, do not let share your password spread to your cousin or friends because we might not know what will happen. Anything can happen when it comes to wealth and when they are facing difficulties.

Thank you for this nice thread, i definitely agree with you pal. The simpliest and basic securing of our account is not to make our password so easily be determined, or we shouldn't go to any suspiscious sites or called phising sites to login our account, it may be steal and hacked.

The most effective way to protect your wallet from hacker is by secure it with 2FA i guess.
But this is if only you have an exchange wallet because usually they provide the 2FA security to enhance your security wallet.
If you don't have any exchange wallet, you can use desktop wallet on your pc and backup it seed and password somewhere safe.

security is one of the most important thing to prevent your data from hackers. Some of the ways to your data from hackers include using hardware wallet, avoid sharing your private key with people and be careful with hackers

[sammyp]

The use of google Authenticator is a good idea of ensuring you are secured. The only disadvantage is when your unlocked device falls into wrong hands. Someone who knows what google Authenticator is used for and have little insights into Bitcoin May see your account name in the Authenticator. For this and other reasons, I have decided to keep my bitcoin on a hardware wallet and it has proven to be worth.

If we share the private key it's called suicide, because that private key is very important for the security of our wallet. So we must be more careful in storing our wallet's private key.

Ofcourse, private keys are your access to your wallet. If someone has it he can steal your coins and transfer to different wallets he has access to. Always be careful if you login and avoid any risk as much as possible. Some weeks ago I wrote a detailed article about security risks, maybe you can gain knowledge: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4907130.msg44198076#msg44198076

All the tips in this topic are great and very informative, should be compulsory for new crypto users to read and apply it. I would add one more tip:

Don't use closed source wallets, and especially never store large amounts of money in closed source wallets

I really agree on this. Users should have the control of their private key. There is no need for third trusted party like exchanges. This is why users shouLD be discourage to store big amount of money on their exchanges account because they don't have the full control of their own funds. After trading, one must transfer the funds on an open source wallet which gives security and transparency like what I also use called Hodler wallet.

I believe that everyone have their own security options and continuously you search for new options for your coins. I have my own ways to keep safe my coins and wallets. First of all i am keeping my coins in several places; in my bitcoin hardware wallet, in exchanges, and in my betting accounts. I believe the safest way use the hardware wallet but if you haven't got one the best way to keep your coins using some good exchanges. Because in exchanges you have google autenticator options with sms message and with email passwords at the same time. So choose one good exchange and make that triple security.

Trezor is the best way to keep safe the bitcoin in wallet and hackers can not hack the trezor at any way. Trezor using holders are totally satisfied for keeping many different coins which are supported to the trezor.

[chrismartin]

Those information you've given mate is very helpful. Ont of the reason why many people got scam or hacked is because their private keys and passwords are their linked into their social media accounts which can easily be opened of some hackers.  Offline string of wallet seeds are the best i think to do.

[Tnt1971]

I always keep my password and private key in my security inbox. I always use two factor authentication and one time password (OTP) . Google verification and mobile phone verification.

Good advice, but I would add-don't store your Bitcoin etc on exchanges or wallets on your PC, Tablet etc, use strong passwords-not the same one you use for email, social media etc and lastly use a hard wallet such as Trezor etc. I assume your anti virus and anti malware are up to date and your os is fully patched.

Thats right, don't use the same password for each account you have, because someone can hack a site and can get your account email and password there, and they have a kind of checker to see which accounts are suitable for the email and password you have, this is simple tips to avoid hacking

[cxmyifan16]

I think that to keep btc from hackers it is necessary to store it in a hard wallet. To my mind, it is necessary to use it instead of the paper wallet because it is much more reliable according to the reviews of my friends who used it

[Wodomi]

Keep bitcoin - this is a very important moment for investment. I use a cold wallet to store and do not store passwords in the computer, they are written in my notebook. I think it's pretty safe.

Store in a safe place, which is cold storage or desktop wallet, then the private key is not stored on the computer, but save separately, for example in a notebook or manually. Always have to update antivirus.

Hardware wallets are by far the safest way to store your coins and while I think the price of one of those wallets is fair most people in the forum cannot really afford one so they need to deal with the problem of how to secure their coins when they cannot afford one of those wallets, and the best way to do that is to install your own wallet in your computer in an operating system that cannot be easily compromised.

keep the account as simple as the one who knows you and God are the main one and don't tell other people if you have a bitcoin, surely that person will know about bitcoin and take everything like breaking into a bank

Hey my suggestion is simply make an Electrum wallet, make sure you do not share your password, private key and seed with anyone, write it down somewhere for your rememberance. Also time to time clean your machines using anti virus tools, to make sure you do not have virus that can steal your coins. Lastly but the most important one, do not use your wallet to transact on a public wifi.
