Yes, i am afraid of this hackers, i have an experienced recently. Some of my airdrops get by the hackers, and fishing fishing it. That is so cruel. Those hackers are pro in this sequence but take advantage of those who get your coins. Make it safe now and secured. That is the best thing to do.

Yes, of course I am afraid that hackers will steal my coins. I have been very careful in order not to be hacked. From securing my computer, getting a hardware wallet and check very carefully when I copy and paste addresses. It only take a small mistake or overlook to lose my precious coins to the hackers.

Anyone can be a hacker in their own way. The main thing is to avoid them by being cautious and when it comes to the cryptoworld, you need to be careful where you give out information that's sensitive, or where you invest or who you trade with.
A lot of people are  afraid of hackers; thus, I'm afraid of hackers too. Hackers are good at phishing or collecting the information of the user. Once they hack your account, it is hatd to recover it and you can lose all your money.

Yes, I think everyone here is afraid of hackers since we keep all our investments on the internet and on the computer these days. Unlike your bank account or your money bills, everyone on the Internet can steal your money without you knowing. Most of the people that answer No are likely small investors.


In the bank, your investments too can not be 100% safe. The scoundrels were always and everywhere, so you have to be always careful and you need to stick to security everywhere.

Recently Bloomberg posted the information that it took hackers less than 10 years to steal over 14% of all existing Bitcoins and Ethereum from the wallets of their holders. The total sum they have stolen is more than $1,2 billion! How to protect yourself from hackers attacks? Are you afraid of this stuff?
There are safe hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano S to protect your cryptos against hackers. Unfortunately exchanges are still a high risk  but it's about to change. Exscudo exchange will be open for beta testing in February promising the best security solution to protect traders funds. I cannot wait to see that platform.

I am personally not afraid of the hackers , I never store my coin on exchange . I back up my private key in a USB disk , never store it in my computer .I keep my USB away from the internet except I need to send coins .It take a few minutes , I don't think the hackers can steal my coins in such few minutes.
right if we store our coins in any exchange site then we need to worry, but now almost everyone will store their coins in hardware wallet, and they can secure their private key by keeping it in hard drive which is not connected to the internet. One more advice doesn't do any transactions if your system is not secured with antivirus.

Yes, i am afraid of hackers even if i hold only few crytos and fraction of bitcoins. Why would we not be afraid of them when all they do is drain your wallet of whatever amount of crypto you holdt there.. Maybe it is better  we save our private key and other pertinent information and details in a  hardware wallet with screen which provide extra security by verifying and displaying important  wallet details.

What type of hacker specifically? There are 3 kinds of hackers and it will be determined by the hat they have . Number 1 are the good one are the White Hat hackers, then, the in-between of the two is the Grey Hat hackers and the fearsome in terms of security on web, accounts and many vulnerable things are the Black Hat hackers. Then if Black Hat hackers then who doesn't be afraid of them? They are the vulnerable thief in the web right now in terms of security reasons. Just by few days NEM got hacked just because of not getting it on an offline wallet and I think Black Hat have done that one. I would agree hackers are to be afraid of, so make sure always high security on your accounts like strong passwords and enabling always 2FA because that really is necessary one.

I believe that those who invest a small amount of money, for example, 1000 dollars do not particularly worry about hackers, because the crypto currency itself is an adventure! people are afraid  who invest millions of dollars, they should hope that in case of theft they will be reimbursed at least some loss!

the shift on level of displacement as clients gains with the part on works as release from the company, as those might leads as the bias on referring validity of decision to work on following as displacing use of risks on expends with the chance as targeting finale.

that company must be completely responsible for the issues of security as might be obligation within parts of deliverance for clients on offering less on waste with the chance of exchange.

Hackers do not need to be afraid, of course there are people who neglect security and therefore they were punished.
There are basic rules for preserving the kapital .. just follow them and your treasures will always be safe.

Listen to the hacker, I was scared, I am very weak on the software, I do not know how to prevent hacker virus. Maybe I have to buy anti-virus software, I think this reduces the hacker attacks. They will not be able to steal my wallet. anyone have a good way please give me advice.

of course, none of us are immune from hacker attacks, phishing sites, substitution of DNS and so on.., initially when we send or earn money on the network are already ready for the worst result, so first we need to protect ourselves as much as possible, provide reliable passwords, cold storage , go site from bookmarks, use 2FA, linux

To be honest; I said that I'm not afraid of hackers, I could tell you lie. All of us need to be very careful. No longer ago than last two days, 600 million USD was stolen funds from The Coincheck Exchange by hackers. Certainly people are right be in fear and trembling.

If you are not you should be. I consider myself very good with computers and I also am very careful when it comes to crypto. I have been trading since late 2011. I would be a multi million aire by now if it was not for being hacked. Now All I hold is maybe 60 dollars worth of coins and do not have the money to invest because I been out of work over a year. It kills me not being able to trade, crypto is my passion and I am very good at what I do. Also most people in crypto will pretend to be your friends and all. I gave more then 400 worth of crypto away when I was doing very well, I thought it was the right thing to do help people because I was doing so well it did not affect me and it made me feel good to be able to help others. Once I was hacked I figured ok maybe some of the people will help me out and I can get back on my feet. Haha once my crypto was gone so we're my so called friends. Not 1 person offered to help me out. I figured what goes around comes around, not in crypto. In fact I'm sure one of the people I gave coins to and knew what I had is probably one of the ones who hacked me. So use caution if you have alot and do well keep it to yourself don't turn into a target. I want nothing more then to get back trading again I still read and watch the market every single day and hope I can get going again. I had a great bitcointalk acct also that was hacked which messed me up from earning on here well but I'm trying to move forward.
