avoid posting your private keys in the online world. also avoid suspicious or phishing sites. it may looks like the same page you want to enter. but actually it s a phishing site , where they can access your online wallet.

The best way for you to protect your wallet from hackers is to make sue that you never store any of the information associated with your wallet online where hackers can get to them to use them to access your wallets. Keep your phrases safe and make sure that your passwords consists of numbers and letters and even symbols to make them complicated

I usually use metamask to protect my wallet and also avoid using your private key just to open the wallet. use this metamask as a tool to import wallets. you also have to be careful in choosing the site, not to phishing sites and everything that promises more profit, it's a danger

I think using metamask can also protect our wallets, also avoid phishing sites and also do not transact on public networks. and can also use offline version. so the private key is printed on paper

This is for those who use wallets with cheap transaction fee, such as ethereum based wallets.
There are some who cannot yet afford to purchase a hardware wallet. On that note, i have a suggestion on how your wallet can be safe from hackers. I have always noticed wallets that get easily hacked are those that are subject to public view.
Try as much as possible to have a separate cold wallet address that you do not copy and paste the private key, and neither do you share the address with anyone. You can use it to store most of your valuable coins.
Even if you want to transfer any coin or token to an address belonging to another person, first transfer it to your public wallet before sending it out.
i think that you will have a lot of good things and you have to protect them by protecting your wallet in many ways

Never disclose your private key. Avoid clicking all kinds of links that pop up from your mail boxes to prevent the possibility of being exposed to phishing sites. And most importantly get a cold wallet like ledger or trezor to store your tokens

As the hacker are more active to hack your wallet and take the money. I will suggest you to keep your wallet offline when your transactions are done. It will keep you safe from the hackers.

The best way to protect your online wallet is to bookmark the legit url. Because if you don't then you can be a victim of phishing sites. And always look for the green lock beside the http. It means the site is secure.

We cannot really hold the facts that in this crypto-world there are lots of con-artists, scammers and hackers. So being too much cautious in protecting your wallet is really necessary for all of us just to avoid being scammed or hacked. And an attribute that you need to have is you need to be mindful, observant and be wise in everything that you do in this crypto-world.

Yes, that is actually a nice idea to protect your wallet from getting hacked. I think another is to just stay away from phishing site as much as possible because that is the only way for a hacker to get into your wallet. The mistake of the people most of the time is that they are ignorant of what is really the thing that they should do and what to avoid. People are easily fooled because they lack the knowledge about protecting themselves from harm. I recommend that people should have multiple wallet and follow your tips in case something bad happen.

I would add, besides not storing the private key where it can be compromised, to continually update and run antivirus software. Likewise, I suggest avoiding websites that are likely to have malware. When possible, I advise to get a hardware wallet.

Most users believe that the true firewall to stop hackers is understanding how they operate and how can we prevent their mischiefs.

The best thing you can do, that I do is simply keep connected to a computer that you only connect to the internet when you're going to send money. Of course it's also important that you've never done anything else with that computer.

I think you don't need to protect your wallet - it is protected by wallet's developers. But you need to protect you computer/phone - device that you use to log in with. Maybe it is infected. In 80% of cases the simplest safety precautions will be enough to secure your assets

I think the best way to protect yourself from hackers is to buy a hardware wallet that's the safest way to store your coins and tokens..

some people use metamask, and others prefer to use wallet hardware to secure their wallets. apada ultimately depends on your belief to choose which wallet you will choose for your wallet security
