Really great article, thank you. Security in cryptocurrency world is one of the most important aspects and everyone thinks about it if they want to protect their funds.
You can't stop hackers from doing their bad deeds as long as there are people who are not taking care of their crypto wallets. The only way to stop them is us to be careful all the time because no matter how secure our wallets are, it is nothing if you are too careless to keep the key safe.
The best way to make our wallet account safe is our own way. However, OP has made a solution to make our wallet account stay awake, I guess this thread is worth to be given appreciation. I believe 2FA is the best way to avoid hacker accounts, passwords that every second will always change will make them (hackers) will be very confused to try to steal our assets.
To remind also the others, stop using free internet wherever you go, try to use data or load or just bring your pocket wifi with you, company wifi is also good to use but don't use public wifi to open your wallet, only to check your FB messages.

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.
Your opinion is correct and the bestn way to avoid hacker. Actually for the beginner by just reading it they can get a idea how to keep their bitcoin safe. Other thing is that do not trust other because in bitcoin you can only trust yourself.
You write quite detailed. It is very helpful for me and I would like to suggest you be able to use a hard wallet to secure your information instead of the free wallet that the publisher offers. Besides, it is powerful security software
Good info here for beginners like me. Worth a read. Let's all be careful here. thanks for this valuable information.
Ill just keep my private info by keeping it on myself, also I do not use a site that has not been a good one. It is better to use a 2fa especially if we talk about the security on a wallet it is better to have it than loging on a single password.
yes you got this right don't just trust those people fooling you around as sites that are asking your private key it is very important to know that giving up your private key will means losing all your hopes and all your hardwork
Here is your private key = right here: https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/dio/29356

All great recommendations but imo the main and most important thing to do is get yourself a hardware ASAP and store the private key securely.
yes having hardware wallet is enough
They do not have the same security key elsewhere and they have to change their security key a few days later. It will have to hide. First thing first is do not tell anyone your personal account. The second is thinking before you click, there are a lot of entertaining pictures pop up on some sites it can hack your account and your personal information will reveal. And of course always do a backup for some reason, it is a very unique way to get your stuffed to be safe.

Thanks for the good advice. Avoid using public wifi as it makes it very easy for hackers to hack computers or phones connected to the network. They do not have the same security key elsewhere and they have to change their security key a few days later. It will have to hide.
There is only one thing to do, just to be away from classic and normal wallets and try to use hardware or cold wallets, that is the only way in that you are never going to be hacked by any of them. Just take care of your safety, that is how it works
Traditional currencies can be stored in physical wallets or bank accounts. But storing cryptocurrencies is a bit more complicated of a process. They’re stored on the blockchain. The addresses to wallets on the blockchain act like the account numbers to a traditional bank account. Every wallet has a private address and a public address, as we’ve already covered. However, you should never store actual tokens or coins in your wallet if you can help it. Only store the public and private addresses there. Most coins have an official wallet, called a “core wallet,” created by the same company that made the coin and the software that backs it.
If you’re just looking to store cryptocurrency and don’t plan on making trades anytime soon, keep all of your coins in a cold wallet. Cold wallets aren’t connected to the internet, which reduces your risk of being hacked online by taking your coins off of exchanges.

Thank you for the article, but it seems to me that it's enough for a redistributor not to download suspicious files, learn to distinguish phishing sites from real ones and not connect to the public wi-fi-these are the most important reasons why they steal wallets
This post will surely help a lot of guys concerning about their accounts. Well hackers have no limits. If they can hack CIA or FBI's or other security organizations account, Bitcoin account is nothing to them.So all we could do is take some protective measures. All the things mentioned in the post is mandatory to take some precautions. Good luck everyone.
