this is already proven, in addition to hacking their transactions the hecker did it hecking into some bitcointalk account, some of them have stated that their account is exposed to hecking. therefore we all need to be alert to the hecker, we also can not any login on the network that is not in the know

If we have proper security of our wallet, i means strong password and private key than how can someone steal your bitcoin.
There are so many fraud over internet as we seen there is one malware detected about clipboard hacked.
I would suggest keep away from doublet bitcoin sites and don't install any third party app like Bitcoin generator.

hackers are every where now a days they just fishing online creating more fake website or layering the web site. if you think you click on mysterious website dont register and trust your instinct. Since the time where money involve hackers are everywhere. Clean your PC every time so you can prevent malware also take away on faucets as faucet creators encrypt malware on it, my laptop have loaded of malware since i start doing faucet so right i stop collecting on them and do other job. Always be vigilant.

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?
Black hackers are always there, they had never been inactive, my friend... you just might have been feeling their presence now because of your involvement in bitcoin. Fortunately, I haven't encountered any threat from those good old folks.

When you are sending bitcoin, always check the address after you copied and pasted it. (malware may interfere upon pressing ctrl+v); as much as possible, please avoid faucets because most of the time we encrypt malware in the ads and links within the faucet website.

Well in my own opinion, there are really many hackers these days so you need to be fully aware in your transactions. But always look in where you are typing because there are many fake websites that can steal your accounts in just one click, so always keep your eyes open or pilled.

This. As a sig camp manager, you would be floored at the amount of folks on a weekly basis that have their ETH wallets compromised. In a group of 300 people, say at least 10% of those folks get hacked during the course of a 4 WEEK campaign; another 5% will change their wallet addresses due to "possible insecurity'. This is why cryptos are so attractive to scammers/hackers; its just too easy at the moment given the high numbers of novice users. This is also why crypto isnt ready for the mainstream yet. There is a reason why ach is reversible, and that is that people tend to fuck up. Given how easy it is to fuck up in a very expensive way here, we will continue to be plagued by this until crypto becomes a lot more user friendly  Wink
would you care to explain how an eth wallet gets hacked in this context? im not trying to rail you on anything, just a legitimate question. it seems to me with each major altcoin, there is always a greater emphasis on security as it's expected that individuals new to crypto are entering the scene due to hearing about some new cryptocurrency. given those assumptions, it seems rather ridiculous that such a large percentage of wallets could be compromised on a regular basis. I dont know enough about the ethereum scene enough to formulate a possible reason, so if you could enlighten me, that'd be awesome.

All of us do really have the possible risk of getting hacked but as long we are not careless then it doesnt really matter at all.Theres no need to worry.Sometimes our curiosity leads us into things which we dont expect.Clicking random links or even on phishing links can really be done if we are not really aware on it.I would like to say that this forum does really help us about new possible scams that do exist today which im thankful that my awareness and knowledge do add up.
there's only a potential to get hacked if you leave a reason that would cause you to be vulnerable. a hard wallet with zero network connection with transactions only created and signed, then broadcast to the network on a separate machine, for example, leaves nearly zero risk of being compromised. there's always a reason a vulnerability exists, and more often than not, the user themselves are at fault for causing it.

When your friend says "hackers are active these days." It is going to be applicable for the next several days and weeks and months and the whole year round. Hackers are always active and are always there to strike whenever given the opportunity.

Hackers are anywhere. There will be always ways on how you can make sure that you account is always safe. Your passwords must always be secured. Also, this should not fear of anything else.

Hackers are always looking for easy ways to steal you. Create fake websites, phishing, spam even. The main thing is put a good antivirus software and do not go for questionable links, and do not download unproven applications.

They are not active just that day but all of the time. Everytime there will be an opportunity they will take it.
Specially now that bitcoin is growing in price. Even the wannabe hackers will do it if they find a hole. Just one bitcoin or two will be a good steal. So let us be careful into what website we will go or sign up.

Hackers are active everyday but i guess with this many people and this many accounts the software should be unbreakable.

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.

I agree. The more Bitcoin is worth the more active are the hacker guys. Make sure to enter URL manually in the browser and do not click on links which could lead to fraudulent websites. Often it's enough just to open the website in the browser to infect your PC with malicious software like key logger. Use your brain.exe and an up to date virus scanner.
We need to be careful with our bitcoin because bitcoin right now is very attractive to the hackers because they know that the price of bitcoin is very high and hacking and stealing bitcoins from the other wallet will give them a lot of profits so we need to be careful always in every clicks and every site that we give our info because it might lead for the hackers to break into our system.

Sounds like a fear monger.

It's true that hackers are more prolific than ever, but that's no reason to not dabble in technology. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself online, and they're only one Google search away. What you need to know, though, is most of the "hacks" around typically rely on user error: phishing with similar sites, making you click on ads, planting spyware on pirated software, etc. It's mostly a matter of awareness. You can take more advanced steps, like a more secure OS after that.

Ever since the beginning of computers and the internet, there have been hackers. Some tried to deny it, but as systems become more complex security became harder and these days hacking is rampant. And in the Bitcoin world it is the worst of all!!!

Why would you not do transactions? Most of them are always active since the beginning of time and that's why they are working as hackers. They are monitoring each transactions that are happening and I guess they are into bigger transactions and seeing those wallets that contains large sums of bitcoin. But if you know how to secure your coins, you don't have to worry.

Can be threatened if an active hacker can be a bitcointalk account that we have on his hacher, we have to be careful, we have to be active in each account, so hacher can not take our account.
