What can you do to keep your digital assets safe?

[DanWalker]

hardware wallets such as ledger, trezor and others will be first choice for the security of our assets so if you have extra money don't hesitate to buy and save the assets of the exchange only what we will actually trade. Many exchangers have been hacked and we should take lessons if hold assets on the exchanger is not safe. Avoid clicking on links that are not clear especially those that are spam via email

I can't disagree with the necessity of hardware wallets, but even if you have some you need to follow cyber security rules such as antivirus protection and avoiding of different malicious software and sites, don't agree for any changes that site/software tries to implement. Always use bookmarks in browser.

so far, as I know, there are no crypto hackers using this brute force technique, on average they often use phishing sites or malware, such as the incident that happened with last year's myetherwallet website, and brute force is a technique that wastes time

Of the entire list that the author listed - the last point is of the most interest - the danger that lies in wait for us if the attacker tries to clone our sim card. In my opinion, this is the most dangerous situation when a person can lose access to all his money due to the fact that someone could clone his original SIM card and thus gain access to his assets.

dont you ever click on things that you arent sure or no knowledge about that particular link, it might be a phising sites or a virus. Always bookmark those sites that you ee using so that it will prevent you from being hacked by someone or a theft. Also dont you ever give out you private key to someone, just keep in you.

Safety should be in advanced level for freelancers,traders,developers and more professions. There are various tools for storing safely digital assets but technology industry grows everyday so we need to adopt to this changes. Hardware wallets like trezor,ledger can be solution for this mentioned problems in thread. I never share my private key with anyone because one of both party who knows pk  can spend bitcoins without hassle.

sometimes saving our assets to the wallet is also not safe because the current situation makes so many people nervous, even though they have listened to the wallet. so we need to secure our wallets well, don't let anyone know.

And then paper wallet should become the best answer for this case. even the hardware wallet can't make your amount will be 100% safe from the hackers. last week I see someone has posted he is loosing about a lot of ethereum while he was keeping it in the nano ledger wallet.

today it has become a real problem № 1, and I think many fell into the hands of these scammers, today there are many devices and media on which you can safely store coins, if you do not have money for them then you can write all the data to log on to a regular sheet of paper, this is the safest way

[salad daging]

this is a crypto era, where almost most people have used it either as an asset or as a means to transact but as we know that whatever is related to assets or money there will always be theft or fraud that people do to get it, it's like conventional money, which if we calculate the amount of loss is too much whether it is stolen or corruption, so in my opinion it is natural that hacking often occurs and is detrimental, because basically humans are always greedy

Cryptocurrency thefts are on the rise.

There are now over 1,500 different types of cryptocurrencies, 22 million wallets for storing them, and thousands of exchanges to trade them on. This rise in numbers over a short period since Bitcoin introduction in 2008 turned a multitude of crypto users and traders into millionaires in the process. And although the lucrative investment has increased the pocket size of many, it also brought in those who want to take advantage of it.

Within the first nine months of 2018 alone, cryptocurrency theft has led to the loss of nearly a billion dollars, a 250 percent rise from a previous year. Whether it is through the hacking of exchanges, such as the $500 million Coincheck hack, or the theft of a few dollars from a wallet, cryptocurrency thieves are finding new means of taking your cryptocurrencies. Phishing, brute forcing and phone-porting are just a few of the methods used by crypto thieves to steal your cryptoassets, but there are ways to prevent them.

How hackers can steal your cryptoassets

Phishing
Phishing has been around for quite some time, and it is no longer only utilized by princes of foreign lands requiring your credit card information. The technique has been expanded for cryptocurrency theft, too. Hackers send emails to various cryptocurrency owners, and when opened, infect computers with malicious malware, at times even holding a victim’s computer hostage until a cryptocurrency ransom is paid. 

Brute forcing
Brute forcing relies on hacking programs, often purchased through the dark web, which use a trial and error approach to gain users’ passwords. If the program doesn’t pick up your password on the fifth try maybe it’ll get it on a try five thousand. All that matters is that once the program achieves what it was built for, you can say goodbye to your cryptocurrencies.

Phone-porting
Phone-porting occurs when a hacker uses a victim’s telephone number to take over his/her mobile account. Then hacker accesses the victim’s exchange account by resetting the password with the telephone number and then steals cryptocurrency from the account.

For me personally, I always tried to keep my wallet and private key that hold my assets safe. Also i always double check on the sites that i am using to access my assets, making sure its the real place before i enter any private information about my assets.

Some trading site can be scam or hack still we have some here with good security so that's trusted for me so we can use that for our safety and actually they run here for so long period of time with no scam or hack accusation then they always check their site or do maintenance in their site another thing always activate 2fa and create different ym account,Moreover we are really safe in hardwallet and in some digital wallet also like example coinomi

Activating the F2a feature is a necessity that we must choose. The F2a feature can provide very good security for the accounts that we have.
Security issues are a risky thing, therefore the security of an exchange must be a major factor that must be considered.

Even though there are many ways you can provide security for your digital wallet, there will usually be hackers who will be smarter to steal digital assets not from your own wallet but will attack directly to the place of exchange as it did some time ago. the exchange is hit by a hacker attack and all of the assets are lost stolen, so to be safer put double security for your wallet and keep the assets always in your own wallet not in the exchange because it's too risky.

2FA increases the security of our wallets and I do agree with this.

Do not tell to anyone where you keep your digital assets.

Besides having hardware wallets this should be taken into consideration.

Don't ever tell someone that you are into crypto's, there were incidents before of robbery probably because those bad guys knew it that the owner has a lot of money since he's into crypto's.

1. Use 2fa for all exchanges you trade. Trade on trusted exchanges.
2. Always cross check the website name where you are entering your login details or private key
3. Use Metamask for MEW, avoid entering private key
4. Do not click on suspicious links received in emails/tg.
5. Write 2fa codes on paper and store it properly

[dewildance]

If you are investing your purpose and you are doing HODL the safest way is paper wallet. Create your wallet, send your investment in that wallet and forget about it.

But if you are going to trade then things change. In that case, we have to be careful all the time.

[Mianae]

Offline wallet is just the bestadding 2fa to all your crypto related accounts never entering your private key anywhere helps stay safe.

[Barabulya]

I believe that having a separate computer with wallets that connects to the network only to complete a transaction. This is enough to avoid becoming a victim of hackers.
