I don't afraid. Follow simple rules:
1) Use two-factor authorization FOR ALL crypto accounts - wallets, exchange, etc.
2) Use ONLY trusty sites for cryptocurrencies - don't use new exchange, use only old and trust exchange - like Bittrex, Bitfinex, Binance etc.
3) Never send your private keys from wallets (so many scam-airdrops sites ask it).

I agree with these recommendations, however I will add few more points:


4) Make use of Antivirus, Anti-Malware software and Firewall and make sure to keep them updated.

5) Wether you use Microsoft Windows or Linux or any other OS: Update your OS and other software frequently, if not automatically. This keeps hackers from accessing your computer through vulnerabilities in outdated programs.

6) Do not use open wifi; it makes it too easy for hackers to steal your connection and do illegal stuff

7) Protect all of your devices with at least password (if not 2FA, fingerprint etc..) , including your desktop, laptop, phone, smartwatch, tablet.
Use strong passwords, change them frequently and use strong security answers. (For example What is the name of your God? Answer: "My Dog Does Not HavE a NamE"

8 ) Be a SMART Surfer:Before opening links especially in email, make sure you know and checked the sender.
Hover over links to see the actual email address from which the email was sent. Is it really from the person or company claiming to send them? If you’re not sure, pay attention to sentence construction and formatting. If something still seems fishy, do a quick search on the Internet for the subject line. Others may have been scammed and posted about it online.

9) Keep sensitive data off the cloud. No matter which way you choose to cut it, data stored on the cloud doesn’t belong to you.

10) And Finally -  Simply Don’t share personal information - Be very sensitive with the information you share online, via email, and even over the phone. Credit card numbers, bank account information, and social security numbers are popular targets for hackers and identity thieves. If you have any reason to believe that this information is being requested for illegitimate reasons, don’t provide it. For extra precaution, verify in person or over the phone with any party or company requesting this information. When it comes to protecting yourself and your personal information, sometimes you can’t be too cautious.

As for hackers? I think that each of us does not want to be taken by these not modest guys, who today are considered bad guys, so of course you need to be afraid of these guys and be very careful in your actions.

I think everyone is afraid of hackers. But if you carefully and carefully work, you will never find this problem. Do not store money on the exchange, check where to enter passwords and use two-factor authentication

I'm afraid of hackers. I'm afraid one day they'll open my wallet and I'll be left without my altcoins.

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?
it's really a very big number I just found out that there's a lot of money that's been stolen honestly it's frightening especially for people who have big assets because surely the hackers are not carelessly choosing their targets
I think the way to anticipate this is to further secure our wallet like using a meta mask and not putting all the assets in one wallet

Surely we all must be afraid of hackers. Hackers can get into our wallets for sure because of the access that we provide. That means we have made a mistake that causes the hacker to get into the wallet and steal it. If we do not make mistakes or always be careful then we will avoid hackers.

I am more cautious about my browsing habits as my computer has been attacked by a hacker. They encrypt the data and ask to redeem the unlock key. As well, and can hack my wallet

I am not afraid of these hackers as most of my coins are secured in a hard wallet trezor. After I read about the past hacking of online wallets and exchanges I never keep my coins in them for more than a day. So I pretty much confide in these hard wallets rather that trusting some online wallet and be agitated about losing money all the time.

Honestly yes,i'm scared of hackers.so thats why i keep my information about wallet and private key in usb not in my computer to avoid hack.
That's normal for us to be afraid of hackers because if not we can lose everything. That's why we need to be more cautious and more secured in our or selves. Don't access any link come from other people or else you will regret it.

Hackers move in a way that no one will predict. They are highly intelligent and professional. Yes, I am afraid of hacker, and it is the safest way to become safe. Why? Because we tend to make all the possible precautions and security measures on our accounts and gadgets. It ain't  that bad to feel the fear but at least we are confident that our assets are safe.

Oh, hackers have stolen a really big amount of money. I think they worked a lot to steal such a sum. Now there are a lot of hackers and you need to be careful not to steal anything. I treat hackers very badly and think that they need to fight with them.
