HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET
Protect yourself from cyber criminals

Good day to all of you guys I am EdsnowAngel a programmer and a bit security tester in different platforms. Now I heard to my friends a lot of concerns saying "please help me my bitcoin wallet was hacked!!"
Ok ok first thing first when your bitcoin wallet gets compromised then your funds was send in different wallet then it is irreversible meaning no return of funds!! so I wanna tell everyone how to protect your bitcoin wallet from such kind of situation.

1st: Protect your GMAIL or EMAIL ACCOUNT
     
       We all know we use GMAIL as our email provider for such accounts like blockchain then we can recover and approve login with email in some wallets, now when your email account was targeted and get compromised then say goodbye to your bitcoin.To secure your bitcoin wallet(ex: blockchain or other) go to your google account settings. and then turn on the 2FA(2nd factor authentication) here is the guide on how to do it: STEP BY STEP GUIDE

2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE
 
       It's a very bad idea to use someones device(ex:from friend) to make a transaction in your bitcoin wallet why? because first you don't know what is the capability of that person regarding that matters and you don't know if that phone has a lot of malwares and spywares.So we cannot say that you are safe using someones device to make transactions.

3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS
         
       This is the most important thing to remember for everyone using your ETH or BTC wallet without backing up your Private keys then you can't recover you wallet in case you forgot your wallet.PK's are very important but there are thing you should do first. Make sure you store your PK backup somewhere that you only know and not from your computer because there are some spyware that might inside of your computer that can steal that file so make sure you back it up print in a paper and hide it to the place where you only know.

4th: Don't open links from malicious emails

      This method was called email phishing where an attacker will send the same email in thousands of random users once the victim will click the link in that email then his or her device was compromised to avoid this please do not click the links included in the email immediately please always have time to check who is the sender of that email and if that email is came from the site where it supposed to came from.

5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI 

      It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions.

6th: Do not login on Suspicious links

     This method is called PHISHING where an attacker  will send you a link to login with your bitcoin wallet luring you with the legitimate site example is:
the real site is: https://www.blockchain.info/
the fake site is: http://www.blockchain.ga/

then once you login to the fake site then the hacker or attacker will have now your credentials. Please always check for the green lock on the url bar and the word HTTPS in the link.


so this are some of the way to stop hackers to hack your bitcoin or crypto wallet. If you have other information then you can comment it down and lets help others.


I think the only way to stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet is that do not trust others because if you trust others there is a chance that they will take that as an opportunity.

Experts recommend keeping all data in their computers, not on online services, making all copies of files in a timely manner, not storing all bitcoins in one purse and constantly updating the operating system, taking into account all new security requirements.


I recommed having a hard copy rather than soft copy computerss can be also compromised with hacking methods and if your computer got compromised they can steal much of your file so hard copy is great

I believe hackers cannot do my wallet hack because I believe in how I protect my personal information. The floors hacked and hackers steal all the information and property because they have exposed the knowledge of the exchange. Just protect the information you will not need to worry about being hacked.

Use the best wallet that you think is very guaranteed security, and do not get stuck with the site they created that you end up entering and trapped in the trap. If you can apply this properly, then hackers will not be able to steal what is in the crypto wallet we have.
I suggest desktop wallet or hardware wallet besides you will avoid the risk of hacking. You will avoid the risk of a third party being a scam also. sometimes greedy traits can appear to all humans right? including the owner of the exchange site. of course we have heard exchange sites become scams

We cant prevent the hacking. If people want to hack something, they will do it whatever it takes. All we can do is to be careful on using social media, trust only yourself. Also be careful on where you put your wallets key, because if someone that have knowledge on accessing that, they might steal your investments.

The type of wallet you use matter and the sit you download the wallet. Do not trust anybody, do not show anybody your private key because everybody is a suspect. Just be carefully in using any public wifi or making any transactons in crypto wallet, be careful about those that offers fast bitcoin earning in the internet.

It is a nice guide but that should be the minimum, hackers are evolving and they are able to hack you in many ways and if people are not aware of them then they will lose their money, many people download their wallet from the wrong site and if you do that no amount of precautions are going to protect you since the hacker will take all your funds with ease.

Yes, those are the advise by OP and some other options too. Earning online is just too risky when you don't know how to protect your account and you are not aware of the strategies use by hackers to access your account so it is good that OP has laid out some ways to protect it. We need advises like this because every day, hackers are finding some ways to get your coins from you. I would also suggest to refrain from showing off in social media your earnings because most likely they would target you as they are just lurking there.

These things, if you have noticed, are actually fundamental and anyone should actually know it not just for your cryptocurrency wallet but actually for all you accounts in the digital world. One thing j have noticed and anyone might to this post is that it is all about the person. This means that we can all prevent hackers having kjr cryptocurrency wallet, and that is so true. Hacking of your wallet can just happen in the carelessness of the person. One tip, don't be careless. If you are not careless then definitely I think your wallet wouldn't be hacked by hackers.

Some get extremely inventive in putting away their keys. Some have them engraved on steel at that point put away in a protected, some encode them in music records, while others have them tatooed on their skin
