Of course you can, someone could steal all your cryptocurrency assets
usually people who are not careful in accessing the website, they will be directed to the phishing website
or maybe someone who is good at hacking, could have targeted a BTC owner

Hi, have you ever thought this?

You know that, to import a wallet you need the private key or your seed. Taking as example the private key (the 52 letters key). It could exist the possibility someone create a software whose function was to try thousands of times to find the private key till it is be done.This would be like the process to find the new block in mining, anyway you can try the times you want in order to find it.

I think this could be a weakness, correct me if I am wrong. Smiley

Or comment if you have a kind of solution for this...

Regards!



There's one key point highlighted by the above case, bitcoin's vulnerable to theft especially those done by hackers, but the problem isn't only that even some media often writes that bitcoin's also vulnerable to being carried away by exchange owners.

My advice is "Please be careful for those who have a lot of BTC because your money will be spied both by hackers and exchange owners."

I don't think anyone can get hacked through this process. The chances of creating a keys that will tally with an existing. I believe more security measure will also he taken to avoid this kind of machines or occurrence from running.

yes somebody can steal your btc but what you talked about is somehow impossible. most times people steal btc by creating phishing sites which they use to get your details to access your account.

If you are storing bitcoin in your computer for sure you need to have protected computer and have an updated computer and anti-virus but as well you need to have a password on your wallet to make sure that no one will be able to access it or to make transfers but mostly for me I just used the two-factor or the authentication which is pretty good and it really gives a security in your account. You should not tell anyone that you have a bitcoin or that where your bitcoin is stored, for me I never tell anyone except my family but they don't know how it works and where do I store it to make a privacy with my coins.

The safety of their wallets is one of the main tasks of crypto-investors, the safest purse in my opinion is Ledger Nano

Bitcoins is digital currency and it can be stolen.  Whoever has the secret key for a bitcoin address can send the bitcoins wherever they want.

If someone wants to steal what you have, I think they have many ways to use it. Scammers is everywhere and they are smart, what you do is to protect it and give it a double secured.

It is unlikely that your funds will be stolen due to a brute force attack, there are simply too many different combinations.
The most likely method is malware stealing your private keys, or you could get mugged for it in a physical assault. such software can be created but it will take a lot of time to generate the right key because there is a huge number of possible options.
Some of the ways that people lose their bitcoins is through phishing and another way is by the use of keylogging software where they can reveal the passwords of the crypto wallets.

Somebody could not steal my btc.It is not possible to steal btc because it is saved by secret strong password. Morever btc address is stonger than secret password. So i can strictly say it is so hard to steal bitcoin. Smiley Smiley

of course, they steal and will steal, there have been many cases, and it is not unimportant that the funds are lost because of ignorance and responsible treatment of protection and internal purses.

Of course somebody can steal your bitcoin. Granted you might hide it into your digital wallet and hide anything woth regards to the password and to your key. However someone moght be able to access this by hacking into your system getting your password and your most secret personal information by fishing. They can also do this by having a program to “bruteforce” it into opening and this are things that we have to remind and know that a cyber threat is real

What you're describing sounds like a job for Mr. Robot. I'm sure he will be able to program some software to do this in less than a day Grin Love Mr. Robot. But on a serious note now. I think it will be extremely difficult for someone to actually code such a program. There are plenty of other ways to steam Bitcoin and they don't require as much time and energy. Good luck with your Mission Impossible Cool

I think this might happen, but the chances are very small. My advice is to keep a small amount of your coins and exchange other parts with paper money or invest in other forms.
Do not store eggs in the same basket, because when you lose it will be more difficult for you to recover everything.

It could be if the security in your wallet you do not pair 2FA Authenticator, because now if we do not use it is very vulnerable to our wallets to be hacked.

It could be someone taking our coin or bitcoin. In fact there have been many people who bitcoin his stolen others (hackers). It seems that they can see opportunities to benefit from fraudulent and illegal ways, let alone the very high price and bitcoin value. So they are looking for a security gap to hack wallets or orange coins.

I think if we do not make a fatal mistake. then all will be fine. and do not fill in the parts of the request to provide a private key.

Even if you did a small mistake, scammers and hackers can still steal your BTCs that is the reason why we really need to be careful. We all know that our private key is one of the most important files that we need to keep as a digital currency investor or user, with that in public, you will be losing your balances. It can be stolen but if we are knowledgeable of securing our Bitcoins, it will not be a problem.
Absolutely! Scammers are very incremental, and have upgraded their tactics to fool and trap people. Bitcoin is prone for stealing like a theft obtaining the password of the account at a storage service. It could possibly happen if thieves break email accounts and asking Coinbase to reset password, and the confirmation will be sent to hackers compromised email allowing the access of bitcoin funds. Bitcoin is secured but it's us who can make security and safety as topmost priority by taking relevant actions to fight against theft or hackers.

if technically and technically the bitcoin you have can not be stolen because I see the technology possessed by blockchcain has a very high level of security, but the bitcoin you have can be stolen when your private key is not you save well.

If you are not careful with your wallet and stuffa then you are bound to get stolen from

It will really happen if you trust your private key to anyone it either your relatives that know well about bitcoin. Because bitcoin is considered as big amount of money that easily get attracted by anybody to steal it in your portfolio for their own goods. So be it confidential in regards with your private key to keep it more security.
