The increase as witnessed in the cryptoworld attracts many investors, ranging from those who understand the ideology of Bitcion and newbies whose idea was to get rich quick from investing into Bitcion world. The growth in cryptomarket also leads to increase in cybercriminals. The rate at which hackers were attacking exchanges are on the increase.
I just need your suggestion on how to curb menace of hackers in order to build investors confidence in this cryptoworld to optimum level.
It is not that if you own a Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, you are already prone from hacking. It will always depends on how you handle or secure your cryptocurrencies, if you are careless then there's a huge chance that you will get hacked. So what can be the solution? Since we cannot stop hackers, what we can do is to learn how to protect our investments by our own, do not trust any third party services to do it for you, like leaving your coins on exchanges because exchanges are the primary targets of hackers because they hold huge amount of different cryptocurrencies and even exchanges have good securities, there is no perfect system and all has its vulnerabilities. So what you can do to make your coins safe is to hold it by your own.

Considering the recent incidences, yes it is true hackers primary target has been shifted towards cryptocurrency holders and exchange platforms. We can probably be safe by beend extra careful which site we enter our details like private key and the rest. We also need to activate all the security measures with a particular wallet to keep our funds safe

I think it will be hard to avoid hacking. Avoiding hacking is tantamount to avoiding theft in the real world, even if the security forces catch a thief there will be another thief who commits a crime.

Of course when we say money, it is too powerful and me, you or us want an easy money that can get more easily. They not think on what happen if they got your money because he didn't know you when they got it. In every advantage, there are disadvantage to get better life because they are no scammers when they can't scam anyone, so please be careful because when the scammer they get hard, it don't do it but there are a chance that they change they plan. We cannot eliminate scam but we can reduce it.

bitcoin earns a massive rate of popularity among the users because of their facilities but the problem is that eventually it attract the hackers as well , that's doesn't mean if you have bitcoin you will definitely face this problem it can only happenes if you stay careless about your wallet security.

I have to admit that I have read a thread saying an ICO was hacked and lost all of their investments.The manager is the one responsible in returning the money of the investors which is worth 1million. this kind of things might leave a big wound to bitcoin especially that it is known for its blockchain technology.

Everything that is online can be hacked. There is various measures that can be taken to stop the fraud and hacking event. Website also get hacked but with passing time security is enhanced, system make more robust. But here in crypto world anonymousity is taken so much precedence that you do not know is hack claims are really true or not. Since field is not regulated by government as such , even known owners has no incentive to spend in security. System hacked or not hacked, they are taking their profits and I did not hear any high level executive went to jail because of negligence in security aspects.

I agree with this fact that the hackers increases when the market condition is good. As the market contains more money at that time for this reason the hackers do target a lot. For this reason carefulness has no alternative. You must have to be careful while doing transactions and keep the wallet offline after the transactions are done.

actually the role of hackers in cryptocurrency is also important because they also need bitcoins to make transactions. I do not think hackers ever hack into an exchange, if hackers hack on one of those crypto exchanges, it means there is an irregularity or something wrong in the exchange. My perspective is like that.

hackers attack wallets and account only when they have the chance to, if your wallets are secure properly with 2fa and other security measures, there is no way you can be hacked.

All I can say is that your security and safety is in your hands. Everyone will take responsibility for that. Keep your wallet details and keys safe, don't keep your assets on exchanges, don't give your details to a third party. These are all that is needed to be done.

One reason why there are still a lot of hackings in crypto is that the users are lacking the knowledge to keep themselves secure. People still fall to a phishing scam, malware, etc. So how to keep yourself secure? 1. Never download anything suspicious from unreputable source. Always verify! 2. Put 2FA on all accounts. Use a Google authenticator instead of email/phone authentication. 3. Use hardware wallets. With those 3 simple steps, you'll be safe from most dangers out here.

It's only normal when a community grows the consequences of harmful situations also increases. However, Bitcoin has always been safer to use than most other cryptocurrencies which makes it the most trusted one. Nevertheless, it's always good to be extra cautious and not fully dependent on anything.

It does not necessarily mean that if you have bitcoin you have a huge tendency that you will be attacked. But we can not deny the fact that major trading floors have been attacked and that they have lost a great deal of bitcoin in the millions of dollars in value.

There are really some people who wants to take advantage of other peoples weaknesses. Today on wards, hacking will be the most profitable hobby but this can create very bad impact into crypto discouraging people to use it. The blockchain itself is unhackable but due to human error and carelessness hacking has been very rampant nowadays. We should be extra careful in clicking suspicious links that could phish information from our devices.
