If the computers are poorly managed, they are vulnerable to attacks even by amateur hackers. As the technology advances, hackers are also become more high tech and sophisticated, and they are hard to control unless stronger measures is pursued against them.
There are some effective to avoid being hacked by strengthening your passwords, fortifying your devices with 2fa and always look out for any malicious links or activities like phising sites.

It’s not only when your computer is vulnerable, you shouldn’t also click links that you don’t know anything about.There are many easy ways you can avoid being hacked, all it will cost you is just to be careful. First thing is that you shouldn’t open any attachments you’re not sure (I don’t open attachments, unless I know where they are coming and who sent them), next thing, as we all know, is that you should always make use of a 2 factor authentication, and apart from using 2fa, you should also have an advanced passwords and not ones that are easy crack. Lastly, I would say it is best to store your Bitcoin offline, and leave a little online.

Its not about the computers but its about the security of their exchange itself, their security for their databases as most of the hackers are targeting the back end and not the front end of an exchange. Amateur or not hackers are hackers.

Securities are also upgrading because of these hackers and exchanges need to increase and tighten up their belts and they need to invest more in security itself.

Security should always comes first when it comes to this business and we should not wait for an incident happen before we do decide to upgrade it. We might able to enhance it but the trust of its recent or previous investors would really be gone which would they will be already hesitant on using it for next time.The good thing here is that there a compensation on all the investors which is good.

This is alarming that there are exchanges that are targeted again and the recent one isn't a joke. The total amount that hackers stole from that exchange was the highest in the history and even higher than Mt Gox. And this can be higher if exchanges will not put that much effort of increasing and upgrading their securities. This is a real deal and we are all affected with this thing, when hacks are happening there are people who are panicking and contributing to the price decrease.

Get used to it because if bitcoin and altcoins are reaching new heights tendency of these exchange hacks is really possible and can happen anytime. We cant avoid it since hackers would really always target exchanges or wallets that have lots of funds in it.It does really affect the market because usually funds are being stolen involves hundred millions of dollars.

no matter how strongly any security code based on digital is easily exposed to viruses or hacking. so you better always save your money and if you do not trade

We can never under estimate the power of hackers and there is nothing to deny this fact that some of the hackers are having this much of skillset that they can really do anything which they want to do. their hacking skills can for sure put the investors of crypto coins in a great trouble as if they managed to get access over their wallets, then they will be able to get all their crypto coins without any difficulty. So we need to be well aware of the activities which are going around us.

Yep, absolutely you can’t do anything to prevent hackers from what they’ve planned and wanna do. As far as you know that hackers ,who own an extremely good skill, in another words they are really well-known, flexible , intelligent and the like. If you want to keep your funds safely, you’d better withdraw your personal wallet. You’d better get aware of any situation that you suspect, because their target can carry out fast , thus you must keep an eyes closely.

Being hacked is very difficult for us,we worked hard for that money and immediately it was gone because of those bad persons.Always be careful of giving information about yours to some persons who do you think is suspicious.Sometimes we became the victims of it and its hard to move on the money was gone also the wallet you been protecting.Hoping for the solutions to those hackers to be punished.

I read somewhere that Coincheck is ready to compensate its users https://www.ccn.com/coincheck-announces-compensation-260000-nem-holders-following-major-hack/ but as long as we want to trade on these exchanges security will have to be improved from the exchanges side as we have done our part of using 2fa and using of unique passwords different from existing ones...will hacks stop not sure maybe bounties to test how secure these exchanges are shouldbe started.

I agree, I had encountered website that when clicked injects an adware or possible trojan virus that can infect your system. Lucky I had my anti virus and be able to stop the attack. Clicking websites carelessly will eventually resulted to your PC being infected by malware or ransomware. So I guess we should be vigilant when browsing the internet.

Still I believe exchange hack has a greater chance of inside job and a possible exit scam so that owner can bag the different coins of their clients.

The more the cryptocurrency will rise, the more the hackers will also try to rise. No one is safe from hackers , but we can at least do our best to avoid them. It is true that your wallet can get hacked , and that is something you can't do anything about. But , what if your own pc get hacked? well, that is something we can avoid. Hackers can use even small program or a game and inject their virus into it. And the moment we install it, we are done. So, the least we can do, is not to download anything suspicious, and download only from trusted sites.

There is nothing you can do, once you money is in an exchange your money will be as secure as the security measures they have implemented, this is why it is a great leap of faith to leave your money in an exchange, a hacker is not going to target someone with a low amount of coins, they will target sources with a lot of coins and among them exchanges are the primary target.

Hacking and robbery are the big problem to solve in the future regarding crypto. The recent news about robberies are alarmimg. If we think that each person with crypto is a bank with legs, than the robbery market increased a lot, because today is no longer need to rob a bank, better know who owns crypto and steal that person, less dangerous and risky to thiefs and equally if not more profitable.

If you refer to the latest articles, then it's obviously the stupidity of people feeling the need to brag about their crypto holdings that puts them in such situations. People are not willing to talk about their fiat wealth, and find it even rude if someone is asking how much they have on their bank account, but when it comes to crypto, they are all open about it. Some are even so stupid, that they mention how much they have made in the last years on social media platforms as Facebook, where in their picture gallery there are pictures of their house, family, location-tied posts, etc. If you are looking for problems, then this is definitely the path to follow. How hard is to keep your mouth SHUT?! Roll Eyes

Yes that is true but in every problem there is the solution and by that happen we become matured and serious about our account we become careful in every move. we will not allow any body to grab our account by being careless. and bitcoin trying to do everything just to make sure our account are safety but the hacker will do everything just to get our account and money that we invest. We can also help the bitcoin to stop them by not welcoming any site that inviting us to join their site to invest money but not legit. they make promised a big money return. learn be satisfied what we have and make treasured our account. and the important is we earn money and meet our needs. just be patient and become steward in our blessing.

Prevention is the only way to make safer your wallet and exchanges if you are in carelessness your bitcoin is easily hacked and bitcoin is not a real money you can see it only in online so be secure your wallet and don't share your wallet details with your strangers it is highly risky for you.

That's sounds really a big threat, I think for so on will be more and more hackers who're continuesly trying to take a money from our wallet and not just in the exchanger only I guess. Yeah essentially we must really have to strengthen the security of our wallets on the exchanger site/wallet site, antivirus's software is very important to install to our PC.

The is answer is no. You can't really ensure that your money is safe in exchanges cause hackers find vulnerabilities in the system and exploit it even if you have strong password, two factor authentication there's no point once the system is comprised. So the only solution is to trade to some reputable exchanges and quickly do trades and withdraw funds to your wallet.

Trading exchange plays a very critical role in deciding whether all, your money and crypto coins will remain safe or not. All the hackers which are there in this world are trying their best to grasp as much crypto coins of others as they can.

So you need to be very much careful and do not give them such kind chance that they find any such weakness or vulnerability exploiting which can result in loss of your crypto coins.
