There have been many different stories of hacked wallets in cryptos till date. Even top exchanges get hacked, so no one can be 100% careful and safe. But we can try to use some safety measures like not advertising yourself or your main wallet address to the public. Make sure your devices are always up to date. Use metamask to access your wallet. Also if using myetherwallet, it's safer to download the full offline version on github.

A cryptocurrency wallet is like a bank account used to store, receive and deposit digital currency into another wallet account or use it for the purpose of sale. Whether you want to trade electronically or want to have them as your property, you must have a wallet account.

My friend told me about this, it start when you open some fishy link on your e-mail ( spam msg for example ). Your online wallet will be more accessible if you store your wallet information ( ex. private key  and personal info. ) on your email. Is that true?
Thats true to some extent but not entirely, see when you clicked phishing link it's you that's get lured to give away your credentials data. The hacker could steal your data in your computer only if you have installed their malware, otherwise thats not going to happen.

That is why always double check the links when you logging in and also enable google two factor authentications. Still the best way to go is through hardware wallets.

if you access crypto, wallet, and exchange site on your personal pc, I think it's a little safer. I keep my wallet online, and never had a problem.

i think Myetherwallet is safely for everyone who has coin, but if you lost your key, your wallet can be hacked anytime, so you should private your key !!

You really need an expert for this case only? Why don't you just buy a hardware wallet to keep all your cryptocurrency safe from hacker? I think amount of money which you pay for a hardware wallet will be much lower than amount of money you need to pay for an expert to ask about this case. LOL.

I think that the best solution to this problem is to purchase a hardware wallet, if this is not possible for some reason, or its purchase is not suitable for solving your problem, then you should very carefully store your personal data, and it is possible to create a few more wallets, and distribute your funds between them.

I think there is no probability that your account will hacked if you only keep your private key to yourself. Be careful in entering sites that requires personal information of yours because this might become the reason to hack your account. Not all sites are trustworthy, be wise and literate about it. also, if you miss some details of your private key, you cannot ope your wallet. you can make a copy of your private key in a private document so that there is back up when you forgot it.

For my own suggestion, no place is safe online I must say. The best and the most effective and efficient way to secure wallet is to buy a hardware wallet(ledger nano or trezor) and save your cryptocurrency in there. This can guarantee 99% of your cryptocurrency are in a safe place

The best way for you to secure your wallet is for you to make sure that all of your information are kept offline in a place where no one else can get to them. Also if you are using wallets where they provide two factor authentication then you should use that. Do not use computers that you share with other people to access your wallets.

utilize equipment wallet. This turns into the arrangement that many offered right now and it's justified regardless of an attempt. for security no uncertainty and this absolutely will make wallet shielded from a great part of the hacking happened right now. or on the other hand above all don't open abnormal destinations normally contain phishing tricks in light of the fact that positively exceptionally risky, as well.

This time many wallet are hacked. If you hold any token or coin you create a new wallet. When you get any payment you just transferred this token or coin. This wallet will not use any bounty or ico.

If you use digital wallet don't save your Pvt key on the device. But it is better to if you use hardware wallet. But the price of it a little bit high. anyway if you have more crypto coins the hardware wallet is recommended me.

For you not to be hacked avoid connecting on the public wifi's out there, avoid accessing untrusted websites or phishing emails that will put your details and make sure you computer or laptops has always antivirus. If you will be careful always and be observant for sure no one will hack you. Just be a low profile and for sure you will be good.

Your wallet can be hacked if you do not safe guard your private keys properly. If you keep your private keys online then hackers could get to it and use it to access your wallet. Also there are other things that could make your wallet be hacked, such as putting your information on phishing sites so always check the url of the website before using it.

Agree, it is very important to avoid such things as install strange programs, etc. Also, I recommend to use hardware wallet, because it is the most effective way to safe your coins.
