I have not done anything specifically on my wallet. so far too well, because I'm sure, the wallet created and used to store crypto is very safe and is already created to protect its users from hackers.

Using metamask if to protect your wallet. Avoid using your private key just to open your wallet, instead use metamask import your wallet their and then use it when you want to open your wallet and also it can detect the website if it is phishing or not.

The only full proof secure wallet is hardware wallet because that don't have any private key and only owner of that wallet have access of that. no one can login that wallet from any where and nothing can be transferred from that wallet without owner consent.
The only thing that can be used to attack your wallet is the private keys and once it is keep safe there will no be any problems but the most effective way to keep the private Key safe is having the hard copy other than keeping it on your phone or PC or better still use a paper wallet

The thing is quite easy, try to generate really strong as hell passwords, try not to share your private key, and pray about it.
In fact someone's wallet problem suddenly arrive at a person's collapse could also be from his own mistake. MEW itself has given a warning each want to access the wallet through private key and as his to see first, whether it is true MEW website is original or not. It is more advisable to use as recommended in MEW such as connecting MEW with metamask to avoid entering private key or json file.
Actually, wallet makers have been protecting in such a way so that they can not be broken by anyone, because they do not want their wallet reputation can be damaged because there are naughty, but why there is still a wallet in the hack, all this because of errors own wallet holder who is not careful. As much as possible all that we often use better do not open from google and the like, preferably in bookmarks that we often use and open it from there.
You can utilize the disconnected wallet that we know by the name of record Nano, with it you can securely store every one of your benefits disconnected, if you cannot evacuate it, or demolish it, in light of the fact that on the off chance that it happens then the entirety of your advanced resources will vanish. In any case, the positive part you will be substantially more secure. There are other ways also.
We have several ways to protect our wallet. I think protecting our wallet from hackers is that we solely own responsibility. We can do that by keeping our password to a secure place. We just need to use and keep our wallets on separate PC and we should not use that for general browsing and work related purpose.
The best way is to NEVER give your private key to anyone else just understand the word PRIVATE
Inorder to be safe from being hacked, we must to secure our private key, we must keep it within us like if you are good in memory you can memorize it, or put it in a piece of paper and keep it to the safest place where you’re the only one who knows, or create your own wallet and store the private key -offline-.
We just be cautious in doing transactions especially visiting newly sites/links. It happens that we are accidentally visiting phishing sites and put our private keys which could lead into getting an access to our wallet. We can recognized it cause they are usually misspelled.
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.

Yes you are right, creating the secondary wallet for transaction only is a good choice. But you must be careful when sending coins from main wallet.
if you exposed your main wallet private key, then it is useless to create the secondary wallet. for ethereum, i using the metamask wallet to operates,
no need to input any private key or seed once you install it on the browser.
Avoid sharing your wallet accounts with others, including the private key and password. Maintain your accounts, we should get log in as often as possible to verify the accounts and check the balance. And now there is an application that connected to our wallet that is google authenticator, it will give PIN if we want to log in to our wallet.
It's not hard to protect your wallet from hackers, you just need to know what to do and do not always include a private key without checking the right site or URL. And it is much better to write your private key to paper instead of saving it to your computer to avoid problems.
I personaly use samourai android wallet, I can choose whether or not I want my address to change with every transfer, or I can just keep the same wallet and use it over and over. I also like the security they have for there wallets, each time you use the pin keypad it changes the numbers around so your never putting in the pin code in the same places over and over either!
