So far I know about this issue, if you are able to keep your Bitcoin address properly then you can be able to recover your stolen Bitcoin. but if you lose your account then you have a little bit chance to get back it.
that's why keep safe your Bitcoin in a wallet where your stock should remain safe. but I hadn't such type of experience in my Bitcoin career.

I got my bitcoin stolen because I was naive and put much trust in Ponzi schemes. Three different ponzi schemes went away with the bitcoin I invested in them. The last ponzi scheme pained me much, I saw the signs after reading many online reviews but I still went ahead and invested. Lost my bitcoin I invested the following the day as the website was no longer accessible. That was the last day I promised to stay off any sort of fast money yielding schemes.
if you want to keep your Bitcoins safe, please use either Paper Wallet or Hardware Wallet. About the private key - keep it safe anyway you feel would be safe.
Hopefully it won't happen to me in the future, So far this is the big threats of bitcoin holders, i suggest we must be careful always in handling our private key and do not entrust your passwords and other important details in your account to avoid scams and other unwanted acts.

Based on my own experience, I am fortunate enough not to have lost any Bitcoin due to any involuntary means of a grab or very deceptive means. I lost Bitcoin because I trusted some cryptocurrency traders whom I trusted too much and all of them turned out to be either scammers or just an outright failure. I also lost some Bitcoin while participating in the rev-share type of programs similar to MyPayingAds and its sister crypto program. Had i not touched my Bitcoin at that time and never invested into those traders and programs I could already be a multi-millionaire (based on my local standards and not internationally). Unfortunately, I experienced for two times the popular phishing scam with my MEW accounts. It is very sad that MyEtherWallet don't want to improve their own security measures and just left members on their own's fault whenever a phishing program can struck anyone. The second one just recently happened partly because I became careless in downloading a wallet from as supposed coin which turned out to be a phishing trap.
You won't get your bitcoins stolen because every wallet are secured in their own ways. Private keys keep them safe. You can only lose your bitcoin if you sent it to a wrong address or traded without knowing risks or what you are doing. Or you unfortunately forgot your key. Your bitcoins will be lost forever. Transactions are irreversible that is why you need to check every transactions you make.
Also avoid scams. That all that I can think of.

Thanks guys
Great tips, its a nightmare keeping all the passwords and trying to vary them. I think once it becomes even more mainstream then there will be more chances of it being attacked.
I'll still speak to people who don't know what a bitcoin is so it's really early days.

It's not happened yet but a few times I've nearly come close to falling for phishing scams. I always check the URL and make sure never to click on any links that I don't know what they are. If you are sensible it's hard to get your funds stolen.
by trusting one of the old and (seemingly) trustable exchanges called bittrex.
everything was fine and nobody had any complaints, their rules were clear and a lot of people were using it. some day they decided to rob their users so they changed their rules in a way to close lots of accounts and block their funds. and they did that to thousands of users who trusted them!

For wallet password preservation, we must be cautious. Because in the blockchain world, the private key to any of your wallets must be dangerous as long as the second person knows it. I recently purchased a hardware wallet

Majority of the users are using paper wallet . Because it is safe and secured in your money. But in terms and conditions is administration should control your wallet. This is also one of the security that means if any problem in your paper wallet. Admin should help to troubleshoot the problem. In many online wallets are not safe it is easy to hack your wallet account. So better to use paper wallet is the best option.

It is not possible to get a stolen bit coin back.If you get your money or things stolen, how will you get back?But Bitcoin's money transfer is not a government and company. Bit coin can not seek anyone's help if it is theft.Bit coins exchange takes place fully Anonymous.
Save Bit coin offline wallets will be better.
