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.
I used the offline wallets without any risk and the harmless. These wallets give me a reliable and the most it's secure my coins/tokens for the long term. It is easy to use.

The first step is to be careful to avoid careless mistakes. Change your password or passcode regularly and dont give it to anyone or post it to any of your social media accounts. If possible use an offline wallet or hardwallet because its more secure than online wallet. Use also several wallets in storing your crypto coins. Dont just rely on one wallet for all your coins.

I have negative experience with decentralised exchanges like forkdelta.
it seems to me that some of them can steal your data and as a result you will lose tokens.

One thing I do as regard security of my fund is never to leave my coin on exchange.  I also do not keep my coin in cloud wallet or wallet on my phone.  My hot wallet have fewer coin while my cold wallet has all of my funds!

More than once I've met erroneous data in the list of bounty participants instead of the purse number that people write their secret keys, so be careful

In my opinion I would say that the first thing that you need to do with your crypto currency earnings is to buy a hardware wallet to store your coins there. What can be more important than your security.

Does anti-virus software license is not enough? Do not click on suspicious links, and do not use third-party programs!

The best way currently, that is still easy to access are hardware wallets. The two most famous retailers are:

Trezor: https://buytrezor.com/
Ledger: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/

A hardware wallet is dedicated hardware with a defined interface that makes it impossible to extract the private key from the hardware. The interface does, however, allow signing of transactions. This means that the hardware wallet can safely be plugged into hardware infected with malware.

It is very easy to protect your cryptocurrencies from hackers. First of all, you should use only "cold" storages, then you should keep your private keys on paper or use hardware wallet like Tezos.

I think if you are using wallets with open eyes and with the security system without viruses than you can aware of hackers attack, Normally hacker attack due to some mistakes of users that makes easy to hack.

I found a good way for protection - to create a separate hard drive for the wallet and to use BitLocker for its protection, that can help to prevent unauthorized access to funds

All known cryptocurrency wallets are now insecure, just yesterday somebody stole all the tokens from my friends MEW wallet, here's the hacker wallet 0xea3a8bd1a99e16160832d6b473ce06c1058dff7e, all the money went to it, apparently not only my friend but also many other users suffered, because for 12 hours 87 ETH and other tokens for 188 thousand dollars were transferred to this wallet.Most likely it was a phishing site that stole the key. So require a higher degree of protection of our funds.

To avoid hacker hack your wallet. Just keep safe your all personal details related to your wallet. Don't shown to anyone your private keys and password. Also, make sure that your the only person who access to your wallet. Another is avoid using different site, browser and desktop. Used only one gadgets to open your wallet. Lastly, the safeness of your wallet is always depends on you.

if you dont want to be hacked by hackers, dont ever ever give your private keys to a person whom youn dont know. especially in filling up forms for airdrops, some airdrops requires private keys, so stay away from it anf be safe.
