How to protect your wallet from hackers

[kjn311]

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 do not understand why those who store cryptocurrency have some problems with hackers. It seems to me that it is in any case completely safe

First, buy a good purse. Do not go on suspicious links. And the password, the harder the better and the most important, do not forget it yourself.

From my own suggestion, how best you can avoid being hacked into your wallet is to avoid accessing your wallet from MEW website using your passkey as it is written that it's not the best option.

Use offline wallet if you can't afford hardware wallet like trezor. Never store your passwords, json file and private key all in one place. Don't ever save your private key on emails, messages and chat.

In my own opinion, it was easy to protect your wallet from the hackers by just simply choosing a wallet that has good reputation and by not recklessly revealing your self in other phishing sites.

be careful not to infect your device with viruses. some viruses are designed specifically to target our wallets. and do not tell people you are interested in crypto money. rumors spread quickly.

the main point of protecting wallets from hackers is to have more security measures and handle more number of unique passwords and most importantly have hardware wallets

[miraxgr]

Yes, I agree. To use a cold wallet securely and very effectively. He burned himself once, without having another cold wallet, I had stolen money from an ordinary e-wallet and I was in complete shock for a couple of days when I saw 0 on my wallet. So since then I use only a cold purse and thank God my money is no longer lost.

In order to protect your wallet from the hackers you should never discuss your passkey to anyone, never save your passkey in the computer and save your data such as your address and your passkey on the usb only.

Everything you say is very true, but don't forget the most important of all. Never ever open a link out of email. Best way is to bookmark the addresses and open from there only.

Good idea, that means if an attack comes, it will come to my public wallet which at that time might not contain money, or contain only one coin. But with that, there is still a cost to pay, since transactions might require a fee. Do such transactions require some fees? I like the point about a public address, you can use those address on public spreadsheets as well.

The best and classic advice still remains that: you should avoid saving your private keys in any internet connected repository. Write down your private keys in a piece of paper

Cryptocurrency gave a chance for hackers steal faster while usual individual can’t do anything about it. Despite the fact that blockchain is a transparent system, it’s impossible to know who owns the wallet. Hackers are rarely caught.

First of all, you have to make sure that hackers can’t steal your data at the first place. If your ID doesn’t conduct your email info, you will be one step ahead. Also create a long password, so it won’t be so easy to hack it.

I think you are correct, Having two seperate wallets, where you utilize one for exchanges being sent to other individuals and afterward alternate ones will simply be utilized for the capacity of your coins. I might likewise want to include that individuals ought to be more cautious when they are visiting sites, dependably ensure that the url is the right one preceding you put in your private key to get to your wallet so your data does not get stolen. Remain safe out there everybody.

You can use a metamask for you wallet for extra security. Don't visit phishing sites by your phone or computer . avoid fake airdrops. Make sure that you are not share your private key. You can deposit your holding coins on a high society exchanges.

I don't store assets in a msrket for too long, and save in wallet hardware like matemask that I previously bought. because indeed a system will definitely have its own weaknesses. there is no perfect system. therefore must be careful in saving an asset.
