The information is timely because I see many persons of late complaining about compromised wallets and being told by the bounty managers that they cannot change their wallet addresses after submission. I will try and work on the suggestions made here on protecting my wallet.

Many recommend hardware wallets as the most reliable way of storing assets. I do not understand why we argue, where to safely store funds.
The correct answer is one. It is ledger or trezor!

I protect my wallet by avoiding suspicious website and i avoid some peoples referal/ links they share. I also avoid airdrops because sometimes the more you joined an airdrop the more you are prone to hackers or phising website. I also make a wallet which i dont use in public and store some big potential coins there, while the other wallet is i use for bounties or making transactions with others. I am not saving my private key to my device i just wrote it down and keep it safe on safe place.

Protect your wallet from any fraudsters and hackers by keeping your private key safely. Never give your wallet keys to any person or source which you think has questionable authenticity. Your private is for you alone and any site which ask for your private key should be ignored.

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.
You can protect your wallet by  separate your private key to your mew address do a notepad and separate your address and your private key and do not log in to the phishing  site from the email because many of hacker are trying to get the private key using fake mew website they are sending to the people I think you receive that also MEW website from email it's a big phishing site.

This is very useful tips but I'll like to add some like avoiding entering private keys on malicious link to avoid being hacked by hackers or better still use paper wallet but most importantly hardware Wallets like trezor, Ledger nano is the most safe that cannot be hacked

Quite a few backers assume that the quick firewall to prevent scammers is by means of know-how and practice. We must master the inner workings used by blockchain before trying to risk too much on it.

“A decentralized registry for unique assets”
I consider the safest option, it is a hardware wallet and at the same time it's very convenient. . Recently, both Trezor and Ledger because of the competition among themselves do not stand still and develop.

I just save my Ethereum in this wallet because I can not sync the blockchain data through Ethereum's official wallet.
The best option to keep your wallet safe to avoid hackers is to create a wallet on an offline device and send money to this device until you need to use it.

Why did you stressed the fact that transaction fee is cheap? there is no connection between price and safety in this way.
Speaking about security, you have to store your private key in a right way and don't use free VPN services+ avoid fishing sites

First off, whatever you do, you have to keep your private information from others. There is a reason why it is called private. It is meant to be personal. Be careful of the sites or ads you permit on your browser, make sure you make use of the 2FA for your accounts, or get any of the hardwares. These are some pretty good tips to keep your account safe.

Borderless for People, Frictionless for Banks
Do you think the cold wallet is the best choice to keep safe your cryptocurrency? Nope!
I used the cold wallet, and I only keep my Ethereum in this wallet because I cannot sync the blockchain data through official Ethereum wallet.
The best choice to keep safe your wallet avoid the hacker is to create a wallet in an offline device and send money to this device to hold until you need to use.
