As safe as blockchain technology
Latest news today, Russia is to set rules to criminalize cryptocurrency on specific transactions related to criminality. There are reports where cryptocurrency is used as payment to drug syndicates. So how safe is bitcoin now?
When we talk about bitcoin, it is talking with a large about of money that is why many become interested in this and also many form of fraud are being establish in order to stole bitcoin to other person. Bitcoin is safe but the holders should be responsible for tge security of this. Many forms of stealing are used like phising emails, signing to untrusted websites that says that they giving free bitcoins but they will get your personal info to get access to your account. We should be careful on choosing what sites we are entering.
It is secured and you don't have to worry that much about hacking for as long as you have securely accessed your account and did not visit sites that could be phishing your account. The risk that I think which is really getting into every investors mind is the volatility of coin which could really create loses.
Bitcoin is well known for its safety. The biggest dangers are mainly hacker attacks on third party services, through which one accesses his bitcoins. These are above all the various crypto exchanges on which the users have created accounts or the bitcoins stored locally in wallets.
Basically, either the exchange itself is directly attacked, so that data can be stolen there. The biggest known incident was the hacker attack on Mt.Gox about 4 years ago, when a huge hack of Bitcoins was looted. This was also the reason for the decrease of Bitcoins 2014.
Today, the exchanges have improved to prevent such occurrences, because it can come to hacks and the trade is severely restricted or even stopped completely. This often leads to strong price fluctuations, mainly caused by so-called panic sells.
An equally large attack surface offer individual mistakes that can easily be prevented. Individual mistakes are the responsibility of individual users and are often:
- insufficiently secured user accounts due to weak passwords
- Login on a phishing site
- send the private keys to a scammer
If a stranger has once gained access to your own accounts, he can quickly transfer the entire balance to another wallet and due to the anonymity, it is no longer clearly comprehensible. For such a kind of total loss helps therefore only a careful handling with your personal user data.
But as long as you follow to the usual security rules and pay attention to secure passwords, which you should also change from time to time and do not use the same password on many other pages, an accident normally cannot happen.
The high demand and high competition between exchanges has also contributed to the improvement of safety standards.
