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 has been around in the internet before bitcoin came so its not new. There are plenty of phishing site going around so better be careful on what you click double check the website before you enter your address so that you will not lose your coin.

It is just not now. Anytime and anywhere they are lurking. So proceed with caution if you have seeds, private keys and other log in details in you desktop or laptop.
You dont want to be losing it all by just one click in a website or just one registry.
Use google for website legitimacy and try not to go to porn sites. They are full of worms there. Grin

This is one of the major risks of Bitcoin, HACKERS!

Hackers are present anytime, they always target something that they can earn with. And as we all know, Bitcoin is a liquid asset that hackers can get if you do not secure your Bitcoin wallet account. In this case, in order to minimize the risk, you should be the only one to know your Bitcoin address password. Do not trust anyone with it. Also, if you really want to protect your money in Bitcoins, cash it out. Do not let it stay in Bitcoin wallet. Cash it out once you received a transaction like payments through Bitcoins.

In fact, the title is a bit funny because hackers are active every day-maybe these days they want to take advantage of the fact that many users will download new wallets for split BTC/BCH coins and we see some users are download fake wallets and lost some coins.

But this is not actually hacking,it is just fake pages with fake wallets who stole your coins if you let them to do this.Check every page before download anything,install good antivirus+firewall and premium version of Malwarebytes.This should be good to protect you on internet,but you should also use the common sense.

You should know to transact using bitcoin and be safe as well. I think it just a rumor as hackers always active looking for a prey Cheesy

Hackers can not just seeing your transactions on blockchain and decide to get your coins, because they need more information.
Even if they know your wallet address, as long as you have some precaution ways to prevent such things, it's impossible to hack your wallet.

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

I agree. Hackers will always be present but it is really a scare. They could intrude to your accounts so it is really a worry. I think we should watch out on our funds better encash if it's of big money

You're right.I suggest too to better encash half of your bitcoins and save it in a bank while half of it remains in your wallet with private keys sealed.It's better to be extra careful always.Hackers are hackers,they won't stop unless they can't target their goal.

How hacker can hack my account if i make transaction!! I am not understanding you problem. Hacker can hack money from you if you visit their phishing emails /site and entered information about your wallet.Or if you download a wallet/file that has malware.so making transaction is not a problem, try to be sure that your pc is clean and their are no malware and never visit any phishing site.

Hackers are troubling us and making a loss to us. We will lose what we have because of hackers. A lot of hackers who create websites with great benefits .. they ask us to fill out our identity and request an email to it. Alert that temtng. You should check in advance about the website before you provide important information ..

It has already been warned not to do any transactions during the time of hard fork to avoid confusions.Even i heard a person saying today that he mistakenly downloaded a wallet from a fake website which had name of electrum and had almost lost 40 BTC.Its a big loss.So,it would be better to remain cautious.

If you send your coins to the right address, there is no way hackers can manipulate the transaction as long as they are not able to change the address or have access to your private keys. We were told to be careful the last few days due to the fork as transactions might get lost.

Yes if we keep our coins in the safe wallet with full of security then no hackers can hack your wallet. And hackers always active they don't need particular time to hack. They keep on working when they get the chance they will hack. So saving our keys and system is our responsibility. Nobody can hack the coins while it's in the transaction.

I honestly do not know about it but I do not think it makes sense, it is true we can't make a transactions for several days until the situation returns to normal but isn't because the hacker is active or is looking for prey.

Same here. The first time I heard about it was kinda annoying. Several people mentioned that they are attacking btc so that no one will trust it. I guess they are just putting it down because behind the promising success of btc they also test people's trust if they'll still continue investing or not. Since the price of btc is increasing therefore they are just scaring others. So it's not really the hackers and yes it doesn't make sense at all.
