Upon this it is suggested for every users to have added concern in keeping the private keys safer. Those values mentioned in the respective 732 week key paired wallets holds a big fund and has supported large volume transactions. Being responsible in this is a must as every process is connected and happens through internet connectivity. A small problem will let you get evaded of your funds.

If this is true then Ethereum is in very bad positions right now. The transition of consensus from POW to POS doesn't smoothly work and then this kind of news will surely dump the price of Ethereum. But I doubt that too many letters and numbers combine can be hacked just by guessing private key pairs.

The link has been given already. seems another bad news on ethereum show up, and i think the best way to keep your ethereum and ethereum based tokens safe is by using a hardware wallet
Much better to keep there, and you have choice between ledger nano s and trezor. Desktop wallets are good too as long as you have the seeds.

Not really. Suppose, you choose weak password for some website and someone guesses your password, does that mean it was fault of website? Mistake was yours that you choose weak password.

Not really. Suppose, you choose weak password for some website and someone guesses your password, does that mean it was fault of website? Mistake was yours that you choose weak password. the problem is when there was a possibility to create a random combination of ethereum privatekey and some times your combination is matched with the real private key and there was a lot of possibilities to open others private key through this process. It just like when you are a wanna opening zip file that you don't know the password.

Reading such news, I understand that it is best to store everything on paper wallets. So as able to crack virtually impossible. Solutions from other developers can be used at your own risk.

A quite clickbait to consider, I think when we are just reading a news, we can just see the website and that's it. Another thing here is that, I think the security of ethereum blockchain wallet is strong enough such as what My Ether Wallet has, and there's no fear that we need to consider about that.

I wonder how someone will just form private keys and will work out of the box, it is impossible and we wallet user's are the only ones responsible for our private keys, I think it's best to make use of hardware wallets for ETH backup

OMG, this is very strange and alarming, I knew that something will definitely go wrong in the ethereum Blockchain, and getting to the stage that even the private keys of users ain't save anymore, then this should be something we have to look into as a community so as soon as possible because we don't need anyone losing their funds to scammers because the Blockchain is easy to penetrate, the co-founder of ethereum said they are working on something, I think they need to speed up on which they are working on, it is needed so much in this time.
I do see those smart contract based coins like EOS and Tron also not releasing native-high secured- easy UI wallets. Some of them are recommending adopters to use third party wallets. I guess they must work on providing native (first party) software wallets like bitcoin-core so that, 99% of risks will be eliminated.

What? Have you even read the original article? Anyone can turn a private key they've created themselves into a wallet, this isn't some vulnerability with Ethereum. It's the same thing as what happened to Brainwallets, people using unsecure methods themselves to create their private keys. They're not actually creating random private keys.

I would say I have actually been lucky or better still very careful that my wallet have never been compromised, I have seen a few number of persons fall victim and the reason being that they must have given out their private keys to a cloned site or clicked a phising site that hacked into their system.

I do not see a serious danger to the use of Ethereum wallets in the event that users themselves create private keys that are subsequently cracked. Either wallet users do not adhere to other security measures. In my opinion, the MyEtherWallet wallet is one of the most reliable wallets.

If you created a random private key then it is impossible to hack but when you use online source to create that private keys then you may be in danger but those published keys are very less when compared tp the all availability of wallets.If your wallet have any other security feature other than private key don't forget to use it as well.

I think it is somehow, clickbait to consider? Knowing the fact that there are already some websites or even a social media platform groups that keep us stay updated on the latest market trend and news. Maybe, for some sort of reason, if you think that the app is good, just inform us whether we might try it sometimes.

Few days ago i was also reading that some hacker has been succesfully accessing wallets and stealing eth just by guessing the private keys, i think it is better to use other forms of keys like json file as simple text has been shown to be vulnerable now.

Either wallet users do not adhere to other security measures. In my opinion, the MyEtherWallet wallet is one of the most reliable wallets. You are right, when people hear that account has been hacked, the first thing that goes to their mind is about a loosed security by the wallet developers, which should absolutely not be true, ethereum has been in this business for so long, they already knows how hackers operate and has blocked every means of hackers having access directly to their own system. So most of these hacked account is surely the fault of the wallet holder for not making use of a very strong security tools on his account, no strong password key, no 2FA Authenticated and so on, some even use very easy password like their date of birth, so it’s better we used a very strong password if we want a safe wallet.
