Thank you very much. The information you provide is very good for me and for beginners to participate in bitcoin. This is a great help and it is very important to protect the bitcoin account. I have recently restricted the use of the third party service, as well as not click the links that are in my email.
All we just need to do is just be cautious and dont give them a benefit of a doubt to hack your wallet. Hackers only hack those account if they know that it has a lot of money. So we must be humble all the time so that we can avoid scammer.
For me rhe best way to secure your crypto earnings and investment is by keeping it in a hardware wallet or a paper wallet.
The hackers couldn't access or use it unless they have your passphrase.

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.
Nice info's but, i think most advanced computer user's are already familiar with most of these hacking strategies except for the benefit of newbies.
Do you have any idea's or knowledge about protecting wallet against possible so-called bitcoin private key generator? This are program developed to automatically guest & crack encrypted key through a combination of certain number's
I pointed out this because, now their are lot of advanced hacking techniques which has been employed to steal coin. I think security tester's and coder's in bitcoin enviroment should focus more on this area's.
Thanks for the info's

I will share how to secure my bitcoin wallet from these irresponsible hackers. Which I should not forget is I have to keep my bitcoin wallet password safely and nobody else knows about it. Secondly, I need to activate the security features on my wallet completely, like enabling the 2FA feature and making sure the email address is not automatically forwarded to someone else's email. Thirdly, I will always quote my bitcoin wallet correctly and make sure it can not open automatically with the same laptop or computer. Lastly, I will change my bitcoin wallet password periodically. This is to avoid a true guess against my bitcoin wallet password.
many people are hacked because they do not know how to protect their own coins and they do not know how to put security in place to prevent hackers. Prevent things as much as possible not to use a public computer to check the status of your wallet, check other devices that do not belong You can also help.
Thanks for these tips. My wallet was also recently hacked and from there stole my money and coins. It was very pathetic of course. Now I will be more vigilant and gorgeous.
I do not really understand this. Because I am new to bitcoiner world. What I know hackers are very clever and cunning if it knows how hard it would be difficult to return it.

These tips are helpful, thank you for sharing this although this is not the first topic posted in this forum but still I admire your effort on researching things to protect your wallet.
I am holding Bitcoins for more than 5 years in my online wallets and till now no one has hacked into any of my wallets. If you keep your coins securely and take the necessary precautions, then no one will steal the coins from you.
All we just need to do is just be cautious and dont give them a benefit of a doubt to hack your wallet. Hackers only hack those account if they know that it has a lot of money. So we must be humble all the time so that we can avoid scammer.
I was so lucky that I did not suffer such a fate, I did not go to an obscure destination and watch as a gem for my little purse
people who have long tied up life with crypto currency and increased their income, even though they collided with intruders.
This is a good information that you just released. The problem we are having majorly about these individual hacks is that people don't read to understand how cryptocurrency works again. They are all rushing to make easy money on cryptocurrency and forgetting that security is the number one thing you need to understand. What's the point of making all these money on cryptocurrency and loosing it to a hacker. It's better you learn how to protect yourself.
It is not only the new folks that should read this, I think every one should remind themselves of this instructions. temerity can catch up with any one if not careful.
Since I've been here for so long I've gain experience and knowledge of their works. We could really stop them but it's not easy because they will force their will to get what they want. You must stand firm and don't you ever give any information about your account to avoid them. Any form of mistake is their weapon so be smart enough.
Another good way to keep safe from hackers is to spread your coins around in a few places. Make sure they cant get to all.
Precautionary measures should be observed in order to keep your cryptowallet safe from hackers. But then again, no matter how secure your crypto wallet is, it can still be breached by hackers if you are very careless in the first place. Being vigilant must be the very first security measure we should equip in ourselves.
Thank you so much for that information you share. There are so many newbies out there that will be able to get informed because of your post. I agree with you, no matter how secure your wallet is but if you don't take extra precautions when dealing with it then you will likely to get hack.
I think we can not stop hackers to hack our crypto wallet. Because we can not control hackers. All we can do is keep the wallet as good as possible.
Activate 2 FA and do not give private key to others and not carelessly access link from anywhere.
