there is nothing we can do about this tragedy.
but we can prevent that from happening to us. for example we sterilize our device from anything that causes hacking to occur, and keep everything related to our cryptocurrency asset.

The cryptocurrency market is a billion dollar market which is obviously going to attract top hackers from across the world which is why such hacking incidents will always occur now and then, but they can be reduced to a big extent if the infrastructure is safeguarded in a highly effective manner. Coming to individuals, we need to avoid silly mistakes(Giving private keys to other, downloading shady wallets etc) to secure our coins and tokens.

Everything that is connected in the internet is at high risk.  For us to avoid to be hacked, we must secure our password and keep it in a safe place. We must not store it in any storage that is connected in the internet.
Also, we must check first the address of the site that we are trying to log in  to avoid the phishing site.

not much can be done. take profit greatly from the current state can be said to be not possible. can only play in the safe zone or take a risk to buy more for investments, in the long run, it again. to sell and even day trading alone I don't think there will be a good opportunity.

Hacking can happen to everyone, the slightest carelessness can do you a lot of work. So we need to use the hardware wallet as the safest method

You have to be very careful not to go to suspicious sites. I know how hard it is to lose your earned money, because recently my wallet was also hacked. Just need to be careful and do not install various unverified programs. And I think then everything will be fine.

Just wanted to ask the opinion of many about these incidents happened this past few days,what can we do as common individuals to help prevent these tragedies? We have good opportunity on this field so I supposed everyone should take time to think about it.

Your opinion could help especially for us newbies,feel free to post a message thanks.
I think that kind of thing can not be prevented, because until the end of the world, evil will never die. we can only minimize the bad things, by securing the assets of each, and do not easily believe in anyone.

In such events, the Council can only be one - never panic. since these events are always intended to spread panic out of nowhere. this will always happen, but if you keep your bitcoins at home - nothing can lead you astray from learning the technology)

This is the time when we need to concentrate on preventing the hacking incidences. More rules and regulations must be made on this cryptocurrency market. Moreover, strict measures must be taken against the hackers.

I think something like this is very unlikely to be prevented. Especially if we are critical thinking, it could be that the hacker is the person inside the company itself. Hopefully not like that.

To minimize it only by securing cryptocurrency on hardwallet

The news of hacking are sad to hear and the loss the investors suffer are unfathomable. But we still need to be careful and to look out for the red flags in order to remain cautious. Such as see the popularity and reviews of projects to know if they are safe and not a scam.

A threat to the market of crypto currency is hacking. with the rise in popularity of the crypto currency the number of hackers and report of hacking is increasing. This will cause the investor to not trust the market and withdraw their investment. And it would also discourage new investors, firms should upgrade their security and investors should use stronger wallets.

Hacking is a rapid action taken on the crypto currency. To keep your coins safer you should use crypto currency wallets. and i recommend you to use hardware wallets.

I think that is very alaraming because our investments are in their hands.
We should demand to the companies that they must provide a strong security that can assure the investors security of their money.

In recent times the scammers have increased, now even on telegram there are criminals who use similar username to those of the admin of the official chat of the blockchain platform and contact people to defraud them. We must be more careful, do not send anyone the private keys of their wallet and use a good antivirus
