Use a strong wallet like a ledger wallet. Because right now I always use that. I think as long as you use your wallet carefully, you will avoid hackers. Because I have never been hacked by hackers. I always use my wallet carefully. Because hackers usually enter via phishing web.

It is very essential to understand that wallets should be treated will every sense of protection and security as you will normally do to an offline bank account. Firstly, if you use a MEW, make sure you bookmark the genuine MEW Url on your browser and only access your MEW wallet through the bookmarked address. Ensure you save your wallet Private Keys offline and avoid any online back ups as much as possible. Also, get yourself a more secure Wallet like Enjin, Trust or Imtoken wallets, these are proven wallets with huge security features. Lastly, avoid inputting your private keys on any website or Google form that requests for them. You could just expose yourself to hacks and scams. Keep to this and you should be golden.

First of all, you must use difficult passwords, not like qwerty123. Also you should enable 2-FA secuirity, today it's the most safe method to save your wallet.
And of course, don't check your wallet in public places.

I don't store assets in a msrket for too long, and save in wallet hardware like matemask that I previously bought. because indeed a system will definitely have its own weaknesses. there is no perfect system. therefore must be careful in saving an asset.

I think you are correct, Having two seperate wallets, where you utilize one for exchanges being sent to other individuals and afterward alternate ones will simply be utilized for the capacity of your coins. I might likewise want to include that individuals ought to be more cautious when they are visiting sites, dependably ensure that the url is the right one preceding you put in your private key to get to your wallet so your data does not get stolen. Remain safe out there everybody.

Cryptocurrency gave a chance for hackers steal faster while usual individual can’t do anything about it. Despite the fact that blockchain is a transparent system, it’s impossible to know who owns the wallet. Hackers are rarely caught.

First of all, you have to make sure that hackers can’t steal your data at the first place. If your ID doesn’t conduct your email info, you will be one step ahead. Also create a long password, so it won’t be so easy to hack it.

The best and classic advice still remains that: you should avoid saving your private keys in any internet connected repository. Write down your private keys in a piece of paper

This is for those who use wallets with cheap transaction fee, such as ethereum based wallets.
There are some who cannot yet afford to purchase a hardware wallet. On that note, i have a suggestion on how your wallet can be safe from hackers. I have always noticed wallets that get easily hacked are those that are subject to public view.
Try as much as possible to have a separate cold wallet address that you do not copy and paste the private key, and neither do you share the address with anyone. You can use it to store most of your valuable coins.
Even if you want to transfer any coin or token to an address belonging to another person, first transfer it to your public wallet before sending it out.
Good idea, that means if an attack comes, it will come to my public wallet which at that time might not contain money, or contain only one coin. But with that, there is still a cost to pay, since transactions might require a fee. Do such transactions require some fees? I like the point about a public address, you can use those address on public spreadsheets as well.

Use offline wallet if you can't afford hardware wallet like trezor. Never store your passwords, json file and private key all in one place. Don't ever save your private key on emails, messages and chat.

Everything you say is very true, but don't forget the most important of all. Never ever open a link out of email. Best way is to bookmark the addresses and open from there only.

In order to protect your wallet from the hackers you should never discuss your passkey to anyone, never save your passkey in the computer and save your data such as your address and your passkey on the usb only.

Yes, I agree. To use a cold wallet securely and very effectively. He burned himself once, without having another cold wallet, I had stolen money from an ordinary e-wallet and I was in complete shock for a couple of days when I saw 0 on my wallet. So since then I use only a cold purse and thank God my money is no longer lost.

be careful not to infect your device with viruses. some viruses are designed specifically to target our wallets. and do not tell people you are interested in crypto money. rumors spread quickly.

In my own opinion, it was easy to protect your wallet from the hackers by just simply choosing a wallet that has good reputation and by not recklessly revealing your self in other phishing sites.

Protect wallet Huh

I think, we can't protect our wallet.
But, the system of yor platform wallet will protect it.
And of course don't you share your file UTC or Private key of your wallet.

From my own suggestion, how best you can avoid being hacked into your wallet is to avoid accessing your wallet from MEW website using your passkey as it is written that it's not the best option.
