I have hard copies written and kept in strategic in my house and office. The worst mistake ever is to store private keys and log in details online. I used to do it but refrained from it when I was advised to. As for storing them on hard drives or flash drives, I'm yet to explore that option
Try to store it in a flash drive so that every time you need it you can easily insert and get it,and one thing never trust anybody even though your relatives and friends sometimes those people will become your worst enemy here in crypto world.

now what you will do is that don't save your private key online i mean saving it on your email or mainly in draft because you could get hack from your email and the made away with your tokens, secondly don't do airdrops asking to do kyc or to reveal your details, those things may likely lead in hacking of your address then wen ever you are doing a new project just use a different wallet to secure your address the most.
I have made multiple copies and keep them on hard drives in various safe places. If you possess huge amount of crypto, you can find a lawyer for yourself who will be able to give access to the wallet to only you personally.
I store data either on paper or on a Micro SD card with write locking or in the form of photos
The thing is , avoid visitinf these phising sights and try not to log into your account too often, hackers are real, private keys can be stored best in paper wallets, make a print out of these keys and keep them in a safe probably, away form anyone apart from you,
Loads of people get hacked because they have their private keys in text files on their online PC's. Just buy yourself a hardware wallet, easy to set up, this is the best solution for an average Joe. Your tokens should be safe even if you visit a fake site because you still have to press a physical button to make a transaction.
Don't store your private keys online. It is that simple, anything that is online can be gotten to by hackers and used to hack your wallets. Store your private keys offline. Try saving them in wordpad or another text editor that is similar to wordpad.
