Yes, in my opinion, this information is very useful for us all, especially for beginners like me, and I can add it to use wallet hardware such as nano ladger to make security better.
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.
Something like this happened with MyEtherWallet, but then it was quickly solved by the dev team. However, for greater safety, it's best that you download offline wallets or make use of a hardware wallet to prevent such unexpected situations. In some cases, the fault belongs to the development team which don't take the proper time to analyse the code for bugs, but in others, the fault belongs to the user himself.
this is also cause by the public DNS of google it almost takes a week for the dev team to fix this error and so much wallets has been compromise and never take back their wallet balances. This cause hackers are getting smarter and smarter everyday.

This method is known as phishing. Hackers usually copy a site to host a fake version of their own, to trick other people into using it. The result of this is stolen funds, and even personal information, mostly due to the carelessness of newbies. There is software across the web, which alerts you of phishing sites, but in case it doesn't, you'll need to properly check the url or link of the online wallet you're browsing into.

Great information, I try to enable 2fa authenticator where ever it is possible, I use Blokada app on my phone and I'm sure it helps in filtering out phishing sites and malicious ads. I use try not to access my wallet too often except when it is necessary.
Hackers will be difficult to stop, because they will try to do bitcoin fraud. You never go into the trap of hackers, by always paying attention to every trap they do, so we avoid theft. Pay attention to every site we enter, because they will always be there and try to trap us in their traps.
It is preferred to use a hardware wallet, hackers are more interested in crypto exchanges: this allows you to access several accounts at once. That is why attacks on crypto-exchanges are more visible and cause resonance in the market. hacking electronic wallets is not so interesting, because it is difficult to hack them unlike web wallets.
You do not have to tell Bitcoin that you do not know how much Bitcoin you own and that you should not invest in projects and plans that are unclear about the plan and the amount of investment.
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 am very happy to see your post, I can learn to be more careful in maintaining my bitcoin wallet. you provide very useful knowledge to me and for everyone, hopefully hackers can't take our bitcoin.
maybe the hackers will be afraid of this article and I still think there are still hackers with very deep knowledge and can still hack this action.
I learn here in the forum every day something new. Thanks for this advices. I will try to stick to it.
It's very useful information, especially for newbies. Thank you very much. It's importantant to avoid fishing sites and keep Private key in secret.
Do not let anyone handle your computer or cellular phone. Keep your password and wallet's private keys, do not share it with others for security reason and avoid being hacked by anyone.
I'll give you a few claps for this...Points are good and very useful. But I must say that the title would have been better if it were "How to Prevent..." instead of "How to Stop..." Coz most of your points are preventive or security measures. Nothing really to STOP hackers. In reality, we can never stop hackers from doing what they do. We can only do as much as we can to prevent them from making victims out of us. I believe you get my point.
Well said but funny enough people still don't use 2FA everywhere and these hacks still happen. The latest one happened on TenX platform but $ taken was negligible because platform isn't running.
Nice summary for beginners 
eventually it al comes down to common sense. Protect your investment the way you keep everything safe and be aware of phishy stuff that seems to good to be true.

Hacking has been one major problem in technology. To stop hackers from hacking your crypto wallet, you need to get a hardware wallet for your crypto. You also need to prevent showing your private key to others, avoid opening links that you aren't sure of and lastly, be careful of public WiFi usage.
To keep your wallet from being hacked, do not click on every link that comes your way.
Guard your private key jealously.
Do not share your private key with anyone.
Guard your private key jealously.
Do not share your private key with anyone.
I do not think that will be enough and too powerful, the safest thing is to divide it into several places, there is no guarantee that enabling all security features will be safe so sharing them into various types of wallet is the safest thing.
My way is never login with the private key. Always use crypted password, two steps authorize, and the javascript key is also a good choice. Don't try to login your wallet with public network such as restaurant, coffee shop or mall wifi. Wish you guys are always stay safe in this market
