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 explanation on how wallet could be well protected, safeguarding of wallet where your coins are stored is very paramount and shouldn't be taken with levity hand.

If you're using myetherwallet, be sure to bookmark it and it wouldn't hurt to download MetaCert for your browser.  You can also use Metamask with myetherwallet for additional security. 

You are right, bookmarking the https://www.myetherwallet.com/ is very important, because most of the scams and stolen keys are done by mirror sites. The other very important measure is to never ever open  myetherwallet from a link in a email.

I defend my pockets to scammers in myetherwallet because there in etherwallet extra we want before you sign up and that i defend my wallet to scammers is the way i understand and i don't deliver my pockets password or any want to register and this is my opinion.

Hackers are attacking the very cryptocurrency market so investors need a way to protect their assets. For the ERC20 token on the MEW wallet I usually use Metamash and mycrypto to hold and exchange, for other coins like BTC, altcoin it is safest to use a wallet or hardware on the main website of that coin.

The few lectures i have received to avoid being hacked especially about Bitcoin or crypto is that you shouldn't reveal your private key by mistake to anyone. once it can be accessed by one you are vulnerable for hacking. no auto password entry on sites, use a wallets present in meta-mask etc. avoid submitting your details on any airdrop that flies that is the easiest way to get caught up. many hackers use airdrop to do their evil. let's be wise
