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 am! It is the reason why I keep all of my bitcoins in a hardware wallet for me to ensure that hackers can't hack my bitcoins. There are a lot of ways that we can do in order to protect our bitcoins from hackers and scammers.

Everyone at least a little afraid to be hacked, but I don't think that we need to be afraid of this. People should not ignore precautionary measures and do everything to protect their coins and tokens. Safe browsing, use few wallets, have a good antivirus and firewall, don't follow suspicious links and etc.
I strongly believe that most of us who are in crypto market both have panic with hackers. It’s a big threat to many users and it’s not except from me. Because as far as I know that hackers are completely intelligent, flexible. They have an intimate knowledge on IT, they can easily hack our wallet. If one can protect their wallet from hackers, he definitely had a good understanding about IT, but most of us both don’t have good knowledge about it. Hence, it’s more likely to lose our wallet.
We can not stop them but we can prevent them. Intiya never trust strangers. Then never trust your
personal information with anyone, as this may be used to always think before you make a decision.

I am. Having your coins stolen in a hack is one of the most painful things you can experience as a crypto investor, I have experienced it and I do not wish for a repeat performance. At least if I lose my coins when trading then I know that it was as a result of my own decisions but having them stolen by hackers and not being able to do anything to get them back is the worst so I am afraid of hackers.

Yes, im afraid of it. We all afraid from it because we use technologies which hackers expertise. Maybe my advice for us is be secured. Especially in our account, don't give your password to others and dont log in anywhere if you dont know if you are secured. Example in a shop, you should log in when you are at home and alone.

I don't believe that 14% of all bitcoins and ethereums were hacked. Not until I can see a reliable source on this. Everyone don't want to be hacked of course. But for as long as you are responsible enough like back ups on your keys and other security stuffs necessary then you should be good.

I'm not worried about hacking, because I did not invest a very large amount of money and keep the coins not on the wallet, but on the exchange

Here is a thing that most of the time hackers are aiming to take money from the ICO or Altcoin as a company, but not from the people who are buying it, or doing the bounty staff. If hackers are doing their job to usual people- for them is like gambling 50/50% just because they do not know how much money we get.
I agree to your point buddy, everyone of us are afraid to be hacked especially our private informations and credentials that we have which serves our funds in our wallets. If we try to compare hackers 10 years ago and today's generation definitely today's generation is much more rampant that can hacked thousands of dollars on different wallets. This kind of people are nothing to do in their life which make as their financial income without any hassle at all. Hopefully all of us here in crypto currency community must aware all the time like to secure our private informations in the safe place.

The tree of computer crimes does not fall down - moreover, it grows year after year. To prevent the consequences of hacker attacks - stealing confidential information and using your computer for sending spam, attacks on other computers, etc., you can use a special application - a firewall in Kaspersky Internet Security and other Kaspersky Lab products. A firewall, or firewall, detects hacking attempts and makes your computer invisible to hackers.

Who would ever like his/her account/wallet being hacked by hackers? Leaving him/her an empty wallet as hackers loot it without his/her permissions. So we should always be careful at all times and do all necessary things to keep our accounts/wallets safe from all these hackers. Afterall, security comes within ourselves first.

it may not be true or it may be true, but protect your wallet in Offline mode because in offline mode bitcoin or ethereum or other altcoins will not be cracked, that's my opinion  Smiley

Yes, I am very afraid of hackers. There are very dangerous hackers who can hack your computer in a variety of ways. So everyone needs to make sure your computer is safe, and don't click on an unknown link sent by anyone. Because if your computer has been hacked, so they can steal all your data, even your COINS the wallet and password, because they can get all the information from your computer. Therefore, always keep your computer secure.

I guess everyone is afraid of hackers.
Not only in Cryptocurrency world but all over the internet.
To be safe from hackers, hardware wallets are the best and safest option for cryptocurrencies.
It is little expensive but after a while you’ll see the advantages for it.
