we have to always check our wallets and make passwords that are a little complicated so it won't be easy to hack people.

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.

Indeed, we should be monitoring our wallet in a timely manner. We must not be careless. If we sense something wrong with our wallet we should take proper monitoring as quickly as we sense it or else it might get bad. Second one is that report it to the some admins or officials of that certain wallet in order for them to take some proper actions into it. The other one is that is improve your own security fot the safetyness of your wallet. Lastly is that,do prior precautions before going in to use such wallet.
There are hardware wallets and the prices are very reasonable. I don't understand why people take risks by not using hardware wallet.
1) since entering into crypto i had to buy kasperky copyright software. That is the first thing you have to do
2) The best you should have a machine to specialize transactions, limited software installation, receiving strange mail ...

The value of digital money is huge. So You should not let anyone know your wallet password and wallet file. You have to be careful with phishing sites.
No wants to give away their personal details to others but scammers are very smart to steal things from common people.
If you can afford to buy hardware wallets then it will be the best option to protect you but if you can't afford then on the PC where you usually login into any of the online wallet don't download unnecessary things on that PC and use good anti-virus software to protect your PC from unknown viruses.
It is true that a very good Anti-virus software will protect you from unknown viruses. I almost got phished yesterday,if not because of my kaspersky internet security which i configure to help me monitor my some site like myetherwallet and other exchange that i used. Immediately i opened the link from my email, it got blocked by my antivirus but later i allowed it to know what is happening then i saw it is phised website that want me to enter my wallet id for a 5000 token. I insert my wallet id and as i click submit, my antivirus blocked it again and report it the site as phised site.
i think really hard to protect our wallets. There are constant threats to us and often we deal with hackers who have done bad deeds.
The most important thing in maintaining an account do not ever give a password to anyone while it is not the person we entrust. And sometimes there are lots of phishing links that go into the e-mail and don't open phishing links once in a while if the e-mail sender is not clear. So our caution is expected.
The best possible way to do that is to put your cold wallet on a pc without internet connection. Turn on the internet connection to send out the amount of coins to your "HOT" wallet and then turn off the internet again. That's as safe as it gets, maybe keep it on a usb which you do not connect anywhere else and place it in a well locked drawer.
To protect your wallet from hacker you need to make a very strong password like combination of letter and number and dont save it to your computer make a hardcopy of your password. Always use different email accounts for every account you create on each exchange. Only use that email address when accessing that specific exchange. And lastly used unique password for every account to minimize the damage that hackers can do if they get a hold of one password.
Yes, this is a problem for all of us. Scammers have already learned how to crack wallets. What do you experience every time. When you want to change your wallet again or buy it. Therefore, personally my advice. To have not one purse. For safety.

If you could not afford a Ledger yet, split funds on multiple wallets. Store priv keys in an encrypted file.
If your crypto funds are now worth more than $2,000, I would strongly recommend a Ledger as it would only cost around $200.
This wallet problem exist for a long time now. Every now and then someone's wallet got hacked that is why i am very cautious when i am making my wallet online. Have heard of this Ledger but don't know how it works and where could we buy it. Would appreciate if you can post a link where we can get it. If your crypto funds are now worth more than $2,000, I would strongly recommend a Ledger as it would only cost around $200.
The coolest way is to use mew offline on a device not connected to the Internet, this method is the safest

I think the best way to protect your funds from hackers is to buy a hardware wallet. You can also store your savings in different wallets.
I was using the hardware wallet it is way safer, then you should not be a victim of phishing to which it is a main problem of a user.
Unfortunately, today it is very difficult to do this, because if these guys really want to steal something from you, then nothing hinders them, everything will depend on whether you have a lot of money. Therefore, the most important thing is just do not tell anyone and nothing.
Yes, this is the right strategy in relation to hacking the wallet.It is better to try not to use your private key anywhere.Also I would like to advise not to go for various obscure references.And if possible, do not surf sites from the browser on which you enter your secret key.Just do not add unknown extensions to your browser.So the probability of hacking is less

Many methods to guard your wallet from hackers. you can use metamask I assume. Or if you have money then you can buy ledger pockets. because I suppose the ledger pockets may be very safe due to the fact it's far our own control whilst we want to make transactions. this is all I suppose.
