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.
Most hacker right now hacking our wallet thru phising email. We should always aware on link in our email and always carefull with suspicious link. To avoid hack on our wallet, always keep our private key and its much better if we have cold wallet
They're all great tips for people who are new in cryptocurrency world. I already knew and paying attention these things except public wifi issue. Actually I'm using public wi-fi even if rarely. I'll be careful from now. Thank you share this. Good job.
Use safe wallets, like hard wallets, avoid using web wallets they are the most vulnerable.
Also, if yoo use any wallet that you have access through your computer or mobile phone always have updated antivirus, keep your personal data and credentials safe and don't revel them to anyone.
And never, but never use exchanges as wallet.

To prevent hackers, you need to have a good knowledge of information technology, learn about ways to prevent hackers, you can contact the network security to have ways to prevent them. Regularly check your computer system.
Most hacker attacks lead to success because of the stupidity of people. Even when break large companies - always it turns out that someone from the staff clicked the wrong and went to the wrong link.
Unfortunately, man is the most common cause of such situations. Because of inattention or distraction people make mistakes, which results are very expensive. It's enough to remember the basic safety rules and apply them to avoid unpleasant consequences.
You actually mentioned something's that are new to some of us here,I think the wallet depends,then if a good hacker is on your case,its only God that can save you,but I still recommend bitfil.com as wallet for any Cryptos..
You can use a security password to make a withdrawal and you can also use google authenticator or second password because I think it is very helpful to thwart the hacking of your bitcoin wallet and you also have to be careful because I see has many people create almost the same site and all scam so they make the same site just to take your data and they will also take all your assets so you have to be more careful if you want to do transaction

Maybe bitcoin should raise all their systems because I think it's too easy to hack because it's too weak and so easy so bitcoin should raise its system if you do not want another hacker, maybe you should use a second password and google authenticator if you want to do a transaction may be just that I know about bitcoin
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.

possession of bitcoin is the possession of inputs and outputs of transactions, no more. therefore, you need to understand this rule-to keep private keys safe, no online wallets
avoid entering unusual links and do not connect other people's wifi to avoid others accessing your accouns and the first is to keep your passwords to protect your wallet and account. Only me will use or have access on our gadgets like laptops and phones so no one can get personal info that can hack your account
I think hackers will not be stopped you can do only need to be vigilant and must install a very high security for the security of your wallet. technology is growing and more advanced will make the hackers become curious.
We cannot stop those hackers to hack the crypto wallets all we need to do is to protect the wallet and make sure that we generate two factor authentication in that case our wallets will be secured.
You cannot stop the hackers to hack your cryptocurrency wallet because that is not a possible thing since the hackers have their own decision making method on which wallet they will target. But you can do something to provide your wallet a higher level of security and one of them is having a strong password and changing it regularly, depending on your preferences.
Thank you for your information. It's usefully for new guys. Very people ever lost them account because click fraud site, they don't have aware of that.
Related 2FA, I suggest to always save your security keys, you can screenshot security page when first activate it. This is in anticipation if you make changes to the device, or there is a bad thing that happens on your device. Do not lose control of the security system you use.
I think that the simplest and safest way to go is buying a hardware wallet, like the Ledger, Trezor, etc etc, now there are several on the market, and the private key never leaves the wallet, so no risk.
