no. it's really not hard. all of the information you need is out there. what happens is that most people are too damn lazy to put it into action. it sucks for them but almost all hacks can be avoided if you're careful.
hardware or paper wallet, offline computer, no phone based 2fa, 2fa everywhere, dedicated crypto machine if you do need to go online.
you can't avoid hacks on exchanges of course, but you should also be clever enough not to leave anything on there. that latest japanese hack looks like it was 100% down to their bad practices.

I think to protect your coins, you need to use Ledger Nano S. I think this is the safest way to store crypto
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?
Of course I'm afraid of hackers. You can protect yourself if you do not keep money on the stock exchange. Must to use complex passwords, double authentication, and hardware wallets. Maybe this will help.
Hackers scare me a lot. The thing is: I am scared therefore I cannot withdraw my coins to my hardware wallet but also scared so cannot keep them on the exchanges...
BTW, I don't even have 1 btc

))) Well, we should not be afraid of hackers because they can not make a move if the company site are always upgrading there security system. Beside, if i have have a huge coin i will divide it by 4 and spread it or stored to other company a main purpuse is to avoid from stilling all my coin. Or else just store in a offline or cold storage for them that is safe and secured.
if you wan to avoid the hack of your PC, follow this rules.
* don't use a public free wifi (Mcdonalds, starbucks,etc...)
*don't download files with the pc that you are using for cryptos.
*don't store your coins on exchanges.
*use a hardware wallet.

Yes, I'm worried about it. But I try to comply with safety rules.
I do not enter passwords.
I use cold wallets.

You know,some of my friends lost enormous amount of funds thanks to hackers. Crypto is the most attractive industry for hackers, and nobody wants to lose money,that's why I am afraid of them. But fear should go hand in hand with activity. Try to prevent attack , keep in safety your computer and you will decrease chances to be hacked
Yes, anyone has afraid but there's two type of hackers, good and bad. If the hacker is bad he/she steal all your wealth and they are the rot of society. Hackers are very powerful nowaday's so better to protect your password. It's good to change your password every month and make 15 characters, symbols and numbers so that they hard to crack your password.
That's correct. But I don't think that recently hacked Japanese crypto exchange had use pass like: "qwerty" or "12345", you know. But it was hacked.
I do not even know what to fear? Joke. Especially when you go to MyEtherwallet and there are 10 warnings. Where is the money to be stored?
If I had many bitcoins I guess I would be afraid, but since I am poor junky who hopes to become reach through cryptos , at this time there is nothing to steal
Geniously! If you don't have crypto you can't lost it. If anyone afraid of hackers, you can send to me all your crypto and keep calm...
ANE must fear of gan because for us the old me-mine the bitcoin earned all of a sudden there's a hacker wrote hatch to our wallet, so was devastated for ane.
I think the greatest problem of online business is security. All online business are prone to hackers activities however one needs to be security conscious in dealing with people because security is very important in the success of any online business. The cryptocurrency space needs more of security to survive.
Yes, I'm afraid of hackers. My friend was stolen all recently. Hackers broke her Telegrams, and then wallets and exchanges.

no worries junky, day will come that your portfolio will also grow and you'll fear both from hackers and risk of market crash. I also don't have much but that's all I have and some of my friends wallets has been hacked. so if I say that I am not afraid, that wouldn't be true.
No i can't be afraid of hackers because i have taken into cognizance protective measures.
yes, I am afraid of hackers that is a big concern I think this is the biggest problem of today in this digital age one has to be very careful blockchain is a perfect system no problem there that cannot be hacked holding the coin in the right wallet is the key.
Like investors and many people here, I am afraid of getting hacked. It is not easy to prevent this but you can take some steps to lower the chance of getting hacked. Using hardware wallet or air-gapped computer would be first thing. Unfortunately, not many cryptocurrencies are supported by hardware wallets but a few of the most popular are. It is almost impossible to brute-force today's encrypted wallets. Usually password is exposed due to compromised software.

Of course I have fear to my founds which are waiting for bitcoin go back to 20000$ and I will be running and call all possible support, but as I know if founds hacked there is no opportunity to bring it back.
That's our pay a high price for decentralized. Although all of us hate scammers the ChipMixer advertising banner is on top of every page on the forum.
It's not a secret what's a reason to mix transactions address.
Of course creditcards scammers steal our funds too but not 534 millions in one case.
