I think crypto crime continues to exist because scammers know that they have lots of victims that they can deceive. Educating ourselves about the crypto industry and how it works I think is the best way to help ourselves avoid these scams. Always stay alert and don't get persuaded in joining investments that promises you super big returns. Researching the project is very important.

I do not know if there a way to do something against this. I mean exchanges are actively investing into crypto security and doing hackatons, but in a few months, there is another new method to hack them, so this cycle never ends.
then regular updates to protect platforms and digital assets must also occur. that's what developers need to do to continue to get investors and enthusiasts on their platforms. if they ignore platform updates and maintenance they will be left behind and abandoned by investors.
It is almost impossible to get a scam-free world. Every coin has two sides. So if there is good, there is bad as well. What we can do is just to minimize bad side. Relating to cryptocurrency scams, first of all we need strong regulations whereas scammers and frauds get punished. But sadly, scammers are walking free when they are guilty of scamming people. Second is we need to be aware of scam projects and frauds. We need crypto education.

Crime is everywhere, what do you do about it? It's not just only in crypto we have crime, people commit crime every day in various aspect of life so crypto is not an exception, the only thing one can do is learn to protect yourself by applying all necessary security measures and report any suspicious activities.
of course that is true but in crypto the reason why there's more crime because crypto was not fully regulated yet. When people transact anonymously, that's where the criminals are taking advantage, of course this is privacy but with privacy, this also gives the criminals a chance to scam and launder their money.
WE NEED FULL REGULATION AND THE STANDARD REGULATION FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.
What kind of regulations are you talking about because despite the strictest regulations criminals till date are able to transfer fiat money across country borders, and believe me the number of illegal transactions happens more in fiat. Also I don’t think we need to do anything because these days nearly all exchanges require KYC details to transfer funds, hence if they suspect anything wrong they can always report it to the concerned authorities and then they can take necessary action.

One of the ways to somehow prevent the worsening of crypto crimes is to strictly implement a standard rules and regulations in the system. Immoral people are taking advantage of the decentralized feature of the system in their unethical actions so there must an eye that would regularly check on these noticeable and doubtful transactions. There must be some kind of institution, which is of course regulated by creator of cryptocurrencies, to check up on these cases and address every necessary solutions.

I think as long as crypto is more and more, and also has a high value, of course testing cannot be prevented, but I think it can be avoided. for example facing project fraud maybe we should learn to more "due diligence" projects more actively and I am sure this will be useful.
It will be smarter for you to look for thousands of new projects that have sprung up and ended in ruins in my opinion, so you should think more about continuing your efforts.
We must always be on the alert and we must try to stop new fraudulent trends in the bud, as well as pay special attention to security. Fraudsters will not disappear but at least you need to try to reduce the number of robberies.
We can't predict and none of us knows what will be the next exchange that will scam exit. Maybe better not to store all your assets in exchanges.

People who go hacking or theft in a system of course they are smart people, so with the limited knowledge that we have of course it will be very difficult for us to prevent theft from happening, in this case, we only need to continue to be vigilant and strengthen the security of the account / wallet that we have so that the theft does not happen to us other than that it seems we cannot do anything.

I use a standalone wallet version that's only accessible from my PC. The more accessible your wallet is, more you are opening it for hacks. You have to take care of your wallet yourself, once your coin are lost you can never access them again.
You are right if someone takes our coins and gives us loss then it happens only if we give them the chance to do this. We should keep holding and keep waiting for the long term. Holding should be done with a wallet that only you can access and never open your private key for other people as I know hackers are now so sharp so don’t open your private key for people you don’t know.

What can we do to help stop these from happening and getting worse?
We can only learn more and protect ourselves from fraud projects. If thousands of people share this idea, then the scammers will start starving because investors have become smarter. The strategy is to invest in any project, ask experts and people who have a lot of experience in the market. He or she will make a judgment and then you will pay for them, so that they will give you the experience and lesson. That's the best way to get rid of phishing projects.

What can we do to help stop these from happening and getting worse?
There's nothing we can do about those unfortunate "crypto crime incident" that was happening in our beloved crypto industry. but we can protect ourselves by applying more drastic measures and vigilance in all crypto related investments, account security and more. But in terms of cryptocurrency exchange hacking incidents that was a sole responsibility of any crypto exchange platform to strengthen its cyber security in order to prevent/combat those hacking incidents that involve million dollars worth of cryptocurrency.
