Start assuming that you can get hacked at anytime

[MusaMohamed]

Something else worth considering, are you getting notifications to your email regarding Bitcoin,
Crypto, exchanges, news feeds and the like?

Do you also get personal information to the same email?

Thats a cause for concern, if your email is hacked your personal information and your interest
in Bitcoin and Crypto leave you open to attack in some form.

My advice is to unsubscribe from everything coming into your email, in case of a hack your
email may not look so interesting when there is no Bitcoin or Crypto related info.

I use different emails for my different purposes.

With work related things, I use my office/company email
If it is for personal things, I use my personal email for it and with this email, I don't use it to register accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges and others.
With Bitcoin and cryptocurrency related things like exchanges, newspapers, I use one or some emails for this purpose.

This practice can help to diversify risk and I won't lose all emails, all sensitive information at one security incident.

It's smart to separate private, business, and fun when it comes to emails. I think a lot of people use one or two e-mails at most, and on top of that they have very weak passwords that can be easily brute-forced. If more people took a completely different approach to their internet security, it would be much more difficult for hackers to achieve greater success, and accordingly there would be fewer attacks.

Today it's like setting a table full of food, writing that no one should touch the food on the table, and putting a poodle to guard it all - how can you expect anyone to take that seriously and not accept what's served to them on a silver platter?

Exactly guys!

But I just can't help wondering if those who store their coins on centralised exchanges just
use the single email for all personal correspondence, actually its probably a given that they
do - thats my opinion.

Something else email related is the use of the smartphone which is something I personally
have only considered NOW, i have a number of emails but they all get collected by my smartphone,
one location, if the phone gets compromised, everything goes with it!

Actually, problems like that will also occur naturally. When you have larger assets, you will treat security systems and storage methods more strictly. What you do will indeed correspond to the value of the assets being maintained. But it's not always the case; sometimes people have prepared well from the beginning. The thoughts and prejudices that make you more cautious may also not have much effect.

I used to think that people who owns lot of bitocoin or any asset handles security serious until when the case of some millionaires falling victims of hack and some cheap phishing attack that’s why I begin to doubt that some people who don’t even own millions handles their holding responsibility more carefully than some millionaires, it’s just the mindset and those who also have the knowledge not just by now much that’s being held.

AI and North Korea are going to keep taking the blames even though the incident is something that can be investigated, since it's North Korea everyone will move on immediately without the need to investigate.It's time to consider using Passphrase on your recovery seeds or even consider Multisig.
There is no better solution that I can think about than these.

North Korea do not welcome investigation by other governments if it does not affect their dictatorship hence they would not cooperate with other government because they are the ones that sponsored the hacking. Some time I use to think some of the hacking group used to use the well known styles of hacking by the Lazarus group so people do not bother coming after them after a hack but I got to realized that if you try to impersonate them then you become their target hence they are the ones doing all their hacking and always go free without any punishment. Centralized exchanges are the ones we should not be trusting but I think using non custodial wallets are still very safe to use.

The internet is not safe, but I think Bitcoin and crypto entirely is a new tech that we just started, everyone want to do what other people are doing but not everyone want to do the right thing. If you are holding Bitcoin and you don't take privacy very well, you are risking your self getting hack. The hack might not be immediately but surely one day you will be penetrate and the coin you think it's your life investment will be taken away from you with one click.

You're calling a 16.5+ years project a new tech?  If anyone can't adapt till now, it's better they hold on to what they understand instead. The only thing I can still consider is misinformation, yes some could be misinformed that holding your funds on exchange is the only way to to hold your coins.

Apart from that, there's literally no excuse for not doing what's right. Everything comes with a price, and for Bitcoin, it is the responsibility of being your own bank. If anyone also thinks otherwise, there's no time to convince them.

Well, I think that the refusal to carry out an international investigation is the evidence of the active participation of the mysterious political power in financing the cyber hacking operation Lazarus. Freelance hacker groups are unwilling to use the identity of the official hackers of the country to protect themselves from any danger of mortal consequences. Due to the organization of the regime power, digital balance thefts always remain beyond the reach of international justice. Non custodial independent storage of balances is one of the main factors that contribute to the exclusion of the danger of hacking of the servers of the intermediaries. With the help of security keys, the owners of digital assets gain full control without any interference from the intermediaries who can be attacked from the outside.

This is absolutely true, a lot of things have been going wrong in the past few months. This should be a wake up call to every crypto holder to stop relying on the illusion of security, and start taking proactive steps towards protecting their bitcoins.  In my opinion, I advise you spread your bitcoin investment across three to four different wallets, because diversification doesn’t only apply to investments, it should also apply to how we store and secure assets.

[yhiaali3]

The one truth we all need to realize is that nothing is safe in this world, especially crypto, so we must do our utmost to protect our assets with the highest safety and security standards, starting with complete privacy and ending with storing the seed in a safe way away from the internet.

The crypto community is going through very difficult times due to the frenzied hacking campaigns that have recently accelerated terrifyingly as a result of the development of artificial intelligence and the resulting multiplying capabilities of hackers, but we must not panic and we must not lose hope that there will be a solution that ends this soon.
