crimes that occur when this is indeed very diverse. even hackers are also now very diverse way. Very dangerous if we are not careful. We recommend that you save your important data is truly on of the most secure. Give the patron with a lock to make it more difficult for burglarized.

what I’ve done is have a separate operating system partitioned on my device - so if I want to use the net or use a computer, I use one system - and for the desktop wallet I use another - I will never ever even go to a website apart from raiblocks.net etc

Secondly, lock your wallet. A locked wallet cannot send funds etc without a password. And it still functions as a node even when locked

I would highly recommend at least doing that - create a separate partition and keep your hardware wallet over there. Use other operating systems for normal use.

Goes without saying that you backup your seed. Extremely important.

I think it will be very difficult to avoid the hacker when you still store your wallet online. But, we can minimize it by making more than one wallet and store our private key offline. Additionally, using Meta mask may be much better than the MEW.
But, if you have had more profits, it is better to buy the hardware wallet first.

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.

Do not download anything without an official link, let alone an extension for Chrome, like Hola.
The more hacking methods, which are able to secure our account are our own, with careful and careful look at everything.

So you mean we must have two wallets with two transactions to be safe? doesn't that make the cost more than double
