This means that if hackers don't have your private keys, they can not steal your bitcoins.

There is another way to make it happen with no seeds/private keys is to get access to the victims device which let them to execute any command they want remotely if the device is connected to the internet.

One of the most common methods is Remote Access Trojan (RAT), that often bundled with the software the users download from unofficial sites such as cracked versions, once that infects a device which gives complete control of your device to the hacker and the worst part is you can't even find it happened.

They can access your camera, files, microphone, and any application and even go deep down to manipulate the devices' hardware.

Hmmmm. What?
I had to delete some apps on my phone after seeing this. I downloaded a testing app from playstore last month to help a DEV test thier app. Although, I didn't give the app any access. I only play games in it..
Will try make more research on this Remote Access Trojan. Thank you  Smiley

Some spyware on phones can even be completely invisible and the only way to remove it is to hard restore the device but they are rare so now stick with more common spyware that might be installed with different names like a thumbnail of music player, video editor, games and etc so if you see any name that you didn't install then uninstall at the next moment also check for the unnamed app that you can find the in the app manager by the bottom of the installed apps list.



Great. Thanks you for detailed explanation on this. I've checked all apps on my phone and I see that they are all installed by me. No cracked apps or testing app. Also, no logged in devices on my accounts except my phone. Hopefully, there won't be any compromising problems.

Your reply makes me feel like nothing is really safe on the internet. Even incognito mode might not be safe. You mean some DApp, platform or Browser might not be secured enough making hackers find a way to malicious compromise users behaviour and get them expose some private information. That's strong.
But thank you for this. I learn another new thing as I've been learning here so far.

TBF, there is no 100% fool proof setup to safeguard our assets but depending on our setup, we could make it harder for the perps to come in or in a way, mitigate the risks.

I would advise you to get a hardware wallet solely for storage means and use burner wallets and/or devices (or VM,) for interacting with dapps. -- always compartmentalize risky from less risky stuff. I personally follow this and have been doing fine.

New thing are learnt on a daily basis and we're mere mortals that's just craving for profits and improvement. Hackers comes with more sophisticated strategies to lure their preys. There's no rest for them because they're always throwing links that contain phishing information and if an investor or trader have no clue, they easily click on then and that takes them directly to their personal account, encompassing all vital details and this is really outrageous.
