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.
For me, to secure your wallet and to prevent facing hackers you must think and analyze first the sites that you are entering because in that situation maybe the hackers will detect or know your wallet. Think before you click.

Thank you sir for your advice, keep using your own device when you want to do transaction using bitcoin and make sure you use your own internet. The only one who can secure your own wallet is yourself. Be cautious everyone!
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.
It's very true hackers are bringing problems in cryptocurrency but to reduce or minimize your system from being hacked, never show your private key to anyone
It is true that hackers are creating problems all over the world, but they can't hack your wallet, if you take necessary steps. Use hardware wallet, if you can afford or you can use blockchain.info which is also very good. Before furnishing your information, make sure that the website is secure, it is very important.
Good point, these will without a doubt help a ton of our co-member especially newbies regarding this matter. However, we should comprehend that we can never prevent hackers from doing what they do. We can just anticipate them by doing these preventive measures or maintaining a strategic distance from any suspicious or malicious files. Preventing is unique in relation to avoiding, something we have to recognize to make things clearer.
You can stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet by, not trusting anybody, not showing anybody your wallet key you are the person holding your wallet key. I believe that by keeping our wallet key well not showing or making it known to anyone we can stop hackers to hack your crypto wallet.
It's very detailed instructions. The best way to avoid a hacker is don't to viuss infect to your computer. you should use pirated software like Kasper sky to avoid viruss and hackers.
Thank you for this information it is very helpful for the beginners and also like me that I've been hacked and lost all of my token that have a higher value I think almost $1000 I don't know on how the hacker hacked my account even no one can known my PK
You write quite detailed. It is very helpful to me and I would like to suggest that you can use a hard wallet to secure your information instead of the free wallet that the publisher provides. Next to that is the powerful security software
The world has always been full of good as well as bad persons. There are so many nice saints but one the other hand several cheaters you will always find. Earlier pickpockets were picking the money from your pockets when you were in public places. Now with the change of time people are not carrying much fiat currency in their pockets as they have started using crypto.
With the change of form of currency by the users; the cheaters have also developed their mode of cheating / stealing. They needed to digitalise their method because now the money is lying in wallets.
All need to be alert so they are not being cheated. Never share your keys. Avoid usage of public internet just to save some money. Usage of cold / hardware wallets can be opted.
Be alert always; otherwise pickpockets have always been there.

HMMMMMM! these criminals are all over the place, in fact very close to us- the hackers, scammer and frausters. We surely need to watch out for these unscrupulous individuals. They may come in the form of wolves in sheep's clothing and promise us all the not existent huge profits. However, they can never get access to our bitcoin wallet until we allow them by giving out our private keys. Please do not be a victim, lets be careful with whom we expose our wallet details to
