Dont get affected on those fuds of those shill bitcoin users. Making transactions isnt really a problem since no one could able to hack you from that as long you did put the exact address of your reciever and also you wont be hacked is those private keys and important informations of your wallet are being kept and not being shown in the public. If they dont have such information they cant hack you no matter what.

There are so many hackers online so we must be aware and watchful because hackers are so wise and intelligent so we must be careful with everything that we do online for us to be always safe. As the cryptocurrency become popular and bitcoin price keep on soaring plenty of hackers are also becoming active everywhere. That's why every time I check my wallets online I always double check everything before I press enter because I don't want to get hack. Just recently my friend told me that she got hacked in etherdelta.
Yes. Because they want to hack more and more accounts because bitcoin price now is very huge and good thats why they have been triggered and they want to earn more and more even they have been doing it illegally but as long as they can earn it in an easy way they doesnt even care.

Can you elaborate on this? I use ED ALOT and while it has problems with functionality, I have never even dreamed of being hacked on ED, thats pretty much the entire point of ED being a dex. When you "wrap" coins (send them into the exchange) they go into a intermediary wallet that is specifically assigned to your account. If the exchange were hacked, so to speak, it would require a compromise of the smart contract. It would take entirely too much time and resources to compromise each and every wallet holding funds. This is why ED is so ass draggingly slow; every thing you do either requires a signed message, or a pair of transactions that will need to confirm at least once.
did they get confidence scammed? or did ED get the best of them? (its a bit of a learning curve, I will admit)
Now many people commit fraud like hackers who do the theft wallet used for bitcoin.hacker pay attention to this transaction and try to make use of it all.

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
Aren't hackers active all the time? There are some periods of intensive hackers campaigns aimed at certain goals but in fact you have to protect your coins all the time equaly. I'm not aware that these days hackers are performing or preparing some special attacks but it's always good to take all security measures you can.
Exactly my point, hackers have always been on the lookout every now and then looking for who to rob of his funds or coins and what we dont know is before an hacker will get a break through, it would have been after several attempts. The most common ones are scams attempt such as phising, cloud mining, scam mixing services, HYIP services among others but we are quick to assume that is an hack where as its not. That being said, exchange sites are prone to such attacks as they are always the subject of targets.

Hackers are active everytime, and you need to be careful everytime, you can become their target without you realize it, this is the consequence of doing things on internet, just make sure you dont give any password to anyone, avoid clicking unknown link and put many layers for your security, dont be afraid of doing transaction with bitcoin, just need to be extra careful

Hackers are active, everyday, every minute and every seconds especially when you are at you weakest. Having some background on computer security ( even if it is the basic e.g. don't click suspicious sites ) is a must and having a good software friend or antivirus to avoid some hideous malwares and virus must be considered. We must protect our digital wallets and assets online because the thieves are much more powerful online than in actual.
hackers are always active, especially with the rise in price of bitcoin, it attracts attention of those hackers.
They may come in the form of fake websites, fake wallets( scammed by one) so we have to be careful when making transaction.

Hecker always looking for prey to be victimized, many fake sites are made in order to get the victims who enter the trap. Do not forget when using the internet, beware. If you really need to, just use virtual machine.
They will try to hack everything including bitcoin system i think because they want to always test and prove their skills especially if money is involved so we must always beware at all cost. Use very strong password and a reliable anti virus will help.
How are they gonna hack bitcoin whahaha, people could say those things years ago, but now people trust bitcoin to much
hackers will always be active and everyone just needs to be smart and not rush doing things... from slack scams, fake websites, fake wallets... it never ends
True, hackers never rest, they always try to exploit something exploitable and even resort to some dirty strategies. They have lots of way to hack our account. Just for example some phishing email that mimic the original site of a reputable website, the only difference is the address but if you are not keen on observation, you will not notice it. I had received lots of these in my email and almost made me click the link but I noticed that it was not the original sites link.
Some of them are good and help many organizations in improving their security. In this world, there will be always good and evil, darkness and light. By the way, this sort of phishing is now out of fashion. But staying alert and good! I advise everyone to not trust everything they found on internet.
You doing bitcoin transactions doesn't make you more or less vulnerable to hackers. You probably heard that warning lastlast week when the fork was happening, since your bitcoins can get stuck because of long transaction times. In terms of protecting yourself, your best bet is to purchase a hardware wallet; If you have one, you're pretty much safe as long as you backup the phrases and leave them somewhere no one except yourself has access to. I will link them below. They might cost a bit for you, but trust me. Better safe than sorry. You can lookup reviews on Reddit or YouTube videos for you to decide easily on which one to purchase.

That still happens every day because they try to rob your money. The people are knowledgeable enough but do something wrong. It's not possible to say anything but you need to be careful about keeping your password and your property.
They can only attack forums, exchange but can not interfere with the blockchain

Hackers are always active and they are just watching the people in the internet and they will just attack if they see some vulnerability that they can bypass so leak that system and get some profits from hacking that system. Hackers are very dangerous so it is best to maintain our computers and accounts secured.
