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?
Everybody is afraid of this kind of thing, but in this market it is normal. I think What we must do in order to avoid these hackers is that we need to be anonymous in everything because hackers are very knowledgeable and they can hack anything they want if they wanted to. I think we just need to keep the private things like wallet address and private keys to ourselves so that we will not be hacked.

I'm afraid of hackers. If hackers steal my BTC and eth, then I will have nothing, and I hate the existence of hackers.

Who isn't?. I'm afraid of hackers!!!.
Apart from stealing cryptorelated data, what about social media handles. Some people practically won't survive it if their social media is breached.
Coming to the crypto market/world, it's going to be pretty difficult surviving it, especially if you've invested a huge some into a coin or more, and you're just praying the market grows, with the aim of selling it afterwards, then hackers come in..there goes the hope, time and effort.
I'll advise people to use safe browsers and avoid relaying out information that would make them vulnerable to attacks. 
In here, attacks can't be traced, it's vanished!!!
Safety precautionary measures are to be put in place when surfing through the net.

I am very afraid of hackers. Many people who invest in encryption have their money in exchanges or local wallets. If they are stolen by hackers, the investors' money is gone.

I do not know if there is anyone who is not afraid of hackers. We are open to any kind of danger while surfing the Internet, so every user should take all precautions for their own safety. Even a simple security measure can sometimes protect us from great danger.
Many people who do not want to lose in any aspect of life, nobody wants to fail. But we can also prevent it by doing this simple and correct security protection can sometimes protect us from major dangers not only like hackers but also can protect against viruses

You know, hackers have stollen billions of dollars from simple debit cards we all hold. It has been our reality since the very first plastic card was emitted by a bank. So it is no surprise that the same things happen to crypto wallets.

The difference is that Banks and other financial bodies compensate their clients in case of cyber hack and most of such hacks are traced back. In  crypto world in case of a successful hack, there is no way to trace your BTC and get them back.
But there is nothing to fear from such hacks, by adopting few easy measures like "cold storage" your private key you can easily avoid such breaches.

hacking is a big problem in this world .
every body is afraid of it . some hackers steal a big amount of money from debit cards . When children are young they says that they want to be a hacker . Some of them even becomes a hacker .  this causes  a great problem . if it happen with bank accounts it can also happen with crypto wallets . to prevent this there should  be  some proper arrangements and laws . we should not let our children to go to this mentality of being  a hacker . The government even employ and pay a hacker . these hacker should not be employed .  In end I would like to say we should take proper security mesure to prevent hacking .

One great way to protect cryptocurrency from hackers is to put the crypto on cold storage (device or drive that is not connected to the internet) and lock it up. And try not to leave crypto on the exchanges for more than is necessary for trading. Don't need to be afraid just have to be careful.


You say is correct but left out one fact. Each exchange has a Commission. Constantly driving means back and forth, you never earn. Just need to get a cold wallet and that's it. The key is in the notebook, the notebook in the cell Bank. Readily! you are a successful person and you are not robbed

While you know it can happen I am not really afraid of it, more like wary and doing things with caution. Which isn't a bad thing.

I am more afraid not of hackers, as such and direct hijacking of funds, but of software that is now infected with miners and other malicious things.

Anyone with their hard-earned bitcoins is surely afraid to just be hacked by someone. I mean, we all made such hard work and much efforts to earn our coins but they would just steal it in a blink of an eye. Apply all necessary security precautions to protect your riches.

I think all of us are afraid of hackers. And i think those people who are victims of this hacker are careless. We need to be careful so that this hackers would not get our funds. There are so many bait online sent by hackers. So we need to avoid those bait.

I think that every person who has several coins on his account is worried about their safety. In order to avoid problems you must follow some simple rules for storing coins. The most important of these rules is using of hardware/cold wallets to store your private keys. Watch guides on Youtube about crypto security. It's very useful.

It's not that I'm afraid of hackers, but I'm always careful not to be a victim of those hackers. Hackers have been existing since God knows how long. So, being afraid of them does not change anything; being extracareful does.

From the hacker, you can apply protection measures and behave more cautiously. For this reason it makes sense to be afraid of hackers and understand that their attack is possible.

of course, i mean who's not?!. as per my experience i've been victimize by these peoples. when i check my MEW my tokens was not there. As far as i remember my MTH token (MONETHA) was been transfered to another wallet named "FAKE PHISING". I don't know how they access it but it was the time i am saving my private keys and pass on my PC. After that incident i've decided not to save any log in details on my pc and that incident never happen to me after. I suggest you activate 2FA for you to be safe on any hacking activities.
