In summary of all what you said here, it can be easily mitigated if you can keep your mouth shut, because keeping shut is the biggest problem of most bitcoin investors, they tend to make it know to random strangers that they invested in Bitcoin, just to be seen as a big boy, but in real sense, that is a senseless action that will put your life and your love one's life at risk.

Even in our local fiat, it's very unreasonable to be talking anyhow by telling people that you are in possession of a large amount of money in cash, that is one of the fastest way to get robbed, so if we can keep shut, we can be safe from this attack.

I don't know what pleasure it is for people to made it loud that they are bitcoin investors just to probably intimidate others, without knowing that they will later be the one to be intimidated when the scammers come after them, if you begin to make profit does not mean that we should be more careless about it and go public to announce all we do and our worth, scammers no longer wait till they hack your wallet, they will directly come to you to make the whole process faster.

We face such dangers because of our own mistakes. In most cases, we face such incidents because of our own mistakes. It is always said in this forum that you should not tell anyone except a trusted person about the amount of your Bitcoin or that you have invested in Bitcoin, as this increases your risk a lot. Since Bitcoin is completely decentralized, it is not possible to find out to which person the Bitcoin has been sent. So always refrain yourself from doing such things.

The biggest tool to keep ourselves safe from hackers is awareness. If we are aware, then we will definitely be able to protect ourselves from hackers. For example, if we take a little precaution, we can easily protect ourselves from hackers. For example:

• 2FA
• Check any link before entering it
• Take utmost precautions to protect the Seed Phrase
• Keep the mobile phone in which you keep your wallet away from external wifi
• Etc.

this is for your safety because once they know what you do and your worth, launching this kind of advanced wrench attack will be so easier for them against you.

The reason why I love this very part is that it is specifically emphasizing on the real fact. People in this present generation love showing off for no reason and this is one of the easiest way to get yourself into trouble. Of a truth nobody can easily know what you are into till you disclose it for people to know, and if you ask me I still can't figure out the reason for all those nonsense.  Secondly, even though we aren't that type that love showing off, we should also be careful with people we associate with and disclose some of our dealings with because some people can be very simple in nature but devilish in real life, and this is the more complicated it is because you can't tell who is after you till the truth is revealed.
