I think the best way to protect wallet from hackers is- after doing transaction or trading or doing business get your pc offline.

Avoid using your private key just to open your wallet, instead use metamask import your wallet their and then use it when you want to open your wallet and also it can detect the website if it is phishing or not.

Most importantly, never store passwords and keys from your wallets on a computer connected to the Internet, this is the biggest mistake. It is best to use an additional hardware wallet

The greatest threat to the security of your funds is the constant clicking of unknown unverified links in your email, unknown website or phishing website! Avoid this and you are more than 90% safe!

Those who cannot buy a hardware wallet, for them the best way is to store the keys in paper.

The greatest pirates of the digital age, hackers!

Many people steal their account. They exploded many stock market sites. As technology progresses, security measures must also proceed.

The most reliable method I think is offline wallets.

It's not necessary to buy a hardware wallet if you only have a small value of coins. I haven't encounter any hack activities in my wallet even I'm using web and desktop wallets, don't just put your private key somewhere, you should keep it securely always.

To protect personal wallets from hackers. I always do small things that other crypto communities may overlook. I keep it in a place that is difficult to reach by other people, I also do storage duplication on offline devices. In addition, as long as my device is online and also when it is offline, I always clean the history first, so that malware cannot track my activities.

I use a regular wallet and everything was always fine,if you follow a certain set of rules-then no one will hack you and steal your information! Do not leave your tokens on the stock exchange for a long time and never give your key to anyone,but in General the most important information rule - Do not go to unfamiliar links and do not believe the events where gold mountains promise!!

To protect your wallet you should be used good security software like that metamask and antivirus or firewall and alert to open unwanted link in your laptop or tablet. Avoid unwanted sites specially which gives officer for more profit. Good luck and be alert for your protection.

It is better to use hardware wallet to keep it safe. And if you have to use a software wallet then be very conscious about your private keys.

Well this is a concern for many people as hackers seems to have improved in what they do and have gone miles higher in their hacking game, for you to stay safe from this group little effort is required form your side, avoid frequent log ins into your wallets, it makes it easier for the hackers to pick your keys.  do not share your private keys with anyone, you just never know who will e aking advantage of it. there are safer options like using hardware wallets, which can guarantee the safety of your wallets. the types of crimes in the crypto is indeed increasingly diverse. Including cannot be separated from the presence of hackers. An awful lot of cunning can be done by hackers. Using sophisticated technology, even not rarely hackers were able to break all of the important data on your pc. However, I myself have always done important data protection. For example, by giving a special key on the folder important data, so that it is not easy to open and access by anyone.

It is advantageous to consider introducing a working framework with a high level of assurance, for instance, Qubes, Unix or Linux. These are the most secure working frameworks on the planet. They are more hard to split and their setups make them less defenseless. Lips sealed Lips sealed

I think to avoid hacker. You kust not visit a website that is suspiciously. And never public your pk. Instead of using pk it will nice if you use a jason file. That way it will hard to crack by a hacker

I think the safest wallet is a "cold wallet" because it doesn't connect to the internet! When I don't usually trade, I save all my cryptocurrencies to the "cold wallet"!

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.
The biggest danger for our wallet is ourselves. Hacking a wallet is almost impossible, if we are careful - we store keys offline, do not click extraneous links, do not go into the wallet from the search
