Hackers have always been active. The most common way of being a hacker's victim is the user's fault. Often fake website, phishing emails and social engineering. When using the internet, be aware. Scan your pc regularly and don't click og sketchy links. Especially don't download sketchy software. If you really need to, use a virtual machine.

actually a hackers is couldn't crash, break or stole a blockchain technology because it is very complicated systems which should need solving perplex algorithm. so the only one way / risk we could hack is a mistake of security of wallet or human error like phising or influence malware on our dekstop unconditionally.
to avoid that matter we should aware of everything which has risk to got hacked.

Thats true blockchain itself proved all these years its immunity on hackers but that is a fact for now in the end you never know. Always be aware thatmost of them are always

looking for opportunity in other words a flaw in a certain system and yes its often causes by human error/s although in cryto industry its not just the users wallet but the

exchanges/gambling site can also be hacked. bottomline is you should know where you put your money at

Some bitcoin users told me not to do transactions in these couple of days because hackers are active these days. I want to know is it true? or some kind of rumor? Anyone here who have faced such problem?

Hackers are inevitable they are always been there but the problem is when there is a user's fault they blame the hackers. Usually why users have been hacked is because it was their own fault. Fake sites not legit transactors, so you should check first if you're on a legit place.

It is true that there are many hackers hinding on the internet and it is possible that they are active and we don't know when will they atack you. So it is better to be alert anytime and you should check if the site or your co-transactor is legit.

Any store can buy, sell, and accept Crypto

Hackers are everywhere, not only for Bitcoin. For precaution, we only make transactions through legit website, such as blockchain.org. By this way, we can avoid being hacked by nasty hackers.

Nowadays when our money can be transferred digitally, hackers are active because they knew that some people are vulnerable to this attacks and if we are not careful with our money then sooner or later, our funds will be hacked. We should always be vigilant and have extra layer of security in our funds like activating the 2FA and have passwords that cannot be easily guessed by the hackers. When there is innovation of technology, I believe hackers are also innovating that's why we should be extra careful.

I believe that hacker's malicious plans and actions are not predictable. And it's always necessary to be carefull. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to be more carefull with MEW. Avoid transactions, do not keep a lot of money there? How?

Always check your url in mew and do not click any message coming from slack. Lately, there are phishing dm's coming from slack to sign in on a fake mew website, you should avoid that. Lots of coins stolen because of that trick.

Oh, thanks. I'm still receiving these emails from Slack asking to visit a link, unlock my wallet and follow other instructions. I just ignore it , but sometimes there are about 5 emails per day

Bitcoin is money we can even say is gold, certainly makes people think to steal, but this does not seem easy because if we activate 2FA then what they do is futile.

Hackers are always active, they make various programs and viruses to steal bitcoin, I was a victim and 0.62 btc stolen by hackers, but this happened in bittrex exchanger.

That is a huge money if we will based that on the rate of bitcoin's price. It is better for you to have an account in exchanges that is 2fa enabled so you can have a 2nd layer of the security and always be careful in creating your password and always remember to make the strongest password that you can remember.

I always be careful in opening links and protecting with internet security. it becomes a defense for me, avoid torjan and virus injeck. never have my account hacked and my wallet is safe.

That's just a basic form of self protection. In some cases threats come unexpectedly in form of legit software you install from their main sites ~ the recent CCleaner news nicely confirms this.

For months people were downloading and installing CCleaner with malware in it, and it just became clear a few days ago. It turned out to be malware pointed at industrial espionage, but it is a threat to basically anyone.

I have formatted my drive and installed a fresh (legit) copy of windows 7, and are sending coins in recently created cold wallets to new addresses just in case. It's pretty annoying to go through, but it is a necessity.

so intense attacks aimed at bitcoin this month. ranging from NK hackers, and china rumors, I think this is just to corner the bitcoin at the lowest level.

Nowadays there are many people that doesnt know anything about bitcoin, cryptocurrency or blockchain and become easy targets for being robbed.
For who are starting in this world it's very important to always keep online security measures (good anti virus and programs that search for malwares, avoid click on suspicious links, etc) and never forget to import and safestore the private keys.

I have never dealt with hackers. if we are always careful and diligent cleaning our computer from virus attack. I think the hacker's goal is no longer an individual. but many of these companies or large servers.

they just upgraded after they successfully done it with individuals and they might aiming for much bigger money to get from this illegal activities
so for us we need to have extra precaution they are just there hanging around waiting for some chances.

hackers are always looking for interruptions where bitcoin users who will trust the site they create or fake sites then we all also have to be careful if we want to follow the site so that we will not be affected by the hacker

Hackers are now a days very Active. Since they are earning money buy making other fool.So they will hack your money and live your life. You should be careful to live your own life. You should follow the steps to avoid from being hacked by the heartless hackers. You should be safest person.

Hackers are always active and they are just lurking around waiting for the right opportunity to hack someone which they would able to know the infomations related on the target. They would do all the things that they can able to steal money from other people but this thing can really be avoided if we do really know how to set safety measure either on our wallets or funds. Setting up 2fa on all accounts and dont disclose important informations or keys into public.
