The most banal way, when people are offered to buy bitcoins, and they even do not. Scammers promise that buyers will receive 50% profit in a short time. All because most people do not know anything about the crypt, except that it's very profitable and the rate jumped to almost 7000 dollars. Another common way, when they call and offer to participate in investments

Well, honestly I little bit afraid of the presence of hackers lately. In the crypto space, hackers usually using phishing site or fake emails to steal your accounts information.
That's why I suggest you all be careful when trying to open an unknown email.

Of course I'm afraid of hackers, but not all of course, but there are certainly very dangerous people, they just do not happen in big huts, because it's in such cases that they just catch him right away.

Of course I'm afraid of hackers, and you should be too.
Well, maybe afraid is the wrong word, actually I'm paranoid.
That makes me go to extremes to protect my crypto and I have not had a single problem yet.

Recently, over in the bitcoin forum, there was a guy who had around 33k usd worth of crypto stolen from his Exodus wallet.
He had been using web wallets and thought to go more secure by using a desktop wallet.
It's worrisome because exodus is so popular and widely used, in fact, I used to use it too.
The way he got hacked was crazy, someone actually stole his phone number then used it to retrieve backup logs.
That could happen to anybody.

But now, I've got everything in paper wallets and a ledger nano.
I haven't gone so far as to get a safe in my house and put all my wallets in there, but I might even go that far someday.

Well that's one of biggest problems of crypto. There is no place to appeal or apply if your coins are stolen or you got scammed. It should be somehow solved because if people feel safe they would invest more and more. I don't want to put my 100k if i don't feel safe. All we can do as indivual is to keep or keys and passwords safe and secure.

I don't save my passwords on the internet and also I navigate only in incognito pages. I am not afraid of hackers but I like to keep myself protected

Yes I am afraid of hackers but it's not only me, but everybody! Usually hackers snoops around social media looking for conversations about cryptocurrency, looking for an opportunity where an investors post phone numbers or emails for easier contact. They pose as victims and call your phone provider and have your password reset. It helps to call in advance your phone provider and request to put all level of security and add a passcode to it. For added protection, set a long and hard password that only you will know. Diversify among exchanges and better use different email and password for each.

of course im afraid , but I think if we surf safely and do not do weird things then it will be able to anticipate data theft .
1. use private connection
2. use metamask
3. dont open wallet anywhere

The security risk for any cryptocurrency is with the Bitcoin wallet and how secure the owner keeps it and any systems they use to make transactions. When using cryptocurrencies, you need to make sure you take extra security to protect your wallet, keep it secret, add multifactor authentication, use encryption and check every URL. You need to take the same protection with cryptocurrencies as you would use to protect other personal assets, such as your Social Security number, bank accounts, and credit cards. After all, as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to increase in value, you can count on cybercriminals following the trend.

All people are afraid of hackers and they have a reason for it.

But with our hacker you will be totally safe Smiley It sounds like a joke but this is true we have and ICO Projects and the name of its founder is Andrew Hacker.

Here is a proof: Hacker Launches ICO

Yes I am very afraid of hackers, I've never lost my balance and it's very sad.It took me a few weeks to get my spirits back up. So now I am very careful in saving my balance.

If only a little. And so, it is necessary to observe well-known security measures and study new trends in this direction.

I think every internet user is afraid of hackers, especially when handling sensitive information or making online investments, or storing your income online, Internet is an open danger zone if caution is not taken, hackers will get away with almost anything and you wont ever get them back

Of course who isn't afraid of hackers anyway. I think everyone is scared of hackers. Imagine all your hard earn coins all gone in an instant. All the hours days and months all wasted. That is why we must be very careful and exercise safety when dealing with others. And never trust anyone whom you only know for awhile.

Yes, of course, this is a very big problem. One yesterday's incident with Pavel Durov's Telegram App is worth it. Most of all I'm afraid for my wallets on the stock exchange and mew. For this, I even included double verification using the Google autentificator program.

I think Yes, that must be something to watch out for. it's possible for hackers to get coins to the point where you can use them with malware-infected computers and stay safe. The only thing you need to worry about is social engineering. If they can convince you to press a confirmation button in the ledger then there is not much you can do.

We are all afraid of hackers of course because they have a knowledge of stealing ones account but as long as there are intelligent people who are capable of what they do they are developing a program or a technology that will repel  a hackers.
