Don't store your private keys online. It is that simple, anything that is online can be gotten to by hackers and used to hack your wallets. Store your private keys offline. Try saving them in wordpad or another text editor that is similar to wordpad.

Loads of people get hacked because they have their private keys in text files on their online PC's. Just buy yourself a hardware wallet, easy to set up, this is the best solution for an average Joe. Your tokens should be safe even if you visit a fake site because you still have to press a physical button to make a transaction.

The thing is , avoid visitinf these phising sights and try not to log into your account too often, hackers are real, private keys can be stored best in paper wallets, make a print out of these keys and keep them in a safe probably, away form anyone apart from you,

I store data either on paper or on a Micro SD card with write locking or in the form of photos

[Cult]

I have made multiple copies and keep them on hard drives in various safe places. If you possess huge amount of crypto, you can find a lawyer for yourself who will be able to give access to the wallet to only you personally.

now what you will do is that don't save your private key online i mean saving it on your email or mainly in draft because you could get hack from your email and the made away with your tokens, secondly don't do airdrops asking to do kyc or to reveal your details, those things may likely lead in hacking of your address then wen ever you are doing a new project just use a different wallet to secure your address the most.

Try to store it in a flash drive so that every time you need it you can easily insert and get it,and one thing never trust anybody even though your relatives and friends sometimes those people will become your worst enemy here in crypto world.

I have hard copies written and kept in strategic in my house and office. The worst mistake ever is to store private keys and log in details online. I used to do it but refrained from it when I was advised to. As for storing them on hard drives or flash drives, I'm yet to explore that option

[david0ikari]

i keep everything in my dashlane very secure

Store your private keys in a place or device that an internet cannot access.
When accessing websites that would require the private keys, always use metamask or hardware wallets.

[Kiefner]

I think that many people should think about buying a hardware wallet. Personally I have it and I am very happy with it. I also work from a separate computer,where I do crypto-currencies.

[megaflux7]

I think the best place to keep a very personal and private information like one's private is off the computer where nobody can hack into it. Maybe on a hardcopy like paper or an external drive.

This has been an issue that required prompt attention and great caution. A friend one mine's wallet was hacked and has swpet away all the coins and token that was in his wallet. I just hope we can take precautions to avoid all these because it is a great lose.

The best way to be safe is through the use of hardware wallet. You can as well use offline wallets, such as imtoken. I have been using imtoken for quite some time now and no bad occurrence whatsoever has been recoded.

You need to be careful with the sort of email messages you read requesting for private keys. Again, any website you are not familiar with, you should stay away from them as you could easily be hacked via virus attack. You should avoid sending your private keys over the media to a trusted friend to do some transactions for you. I will recommend that, you connect you wallet addresses to metamask by installing metamask on your various browsers. Metamask helps you to track phishing sites and avoid them. These are some tips to keep your private keys safe.

[hirngespenst]

I use metamask to secure my ETH Wallet and its private key. I Never use my private key anywhere, because, to me, safety is the priority. I Saved my private key in My google drive. You think it is not secure? Yes, that's right. And, That's why I kept my all account info in a locked Zip file, and then I uploaded that Zip file in my google drive, Pc drive, Smartphone drive and everywhere else.

I have logged to the MEW last 24 hours and I don't get any problem with it. You can try to use metamask to give another security layer to your MEW wallet or it much better if you can try to run MEW locally (offline).
Always try to checked the URL and certificate. Never try to publish any data that related to your privatekey and for the last thing always keep your eyes with any update about mew.

You should not often log into the wallet with an online address, I think you should download the metamask application to use for login and tokens transfer, many hackers took advantage of and created the fraudulent MEW site, they If you do not pay attention, you can not distinguish which one is real.

My suggestion for you to keep your private keys safe is by making a hard copy of the private Key what I mean is print it on paper by so doing nobody can get to where it is once you keep it where no any other person have access to
