And additionally, use 2FA everytime an exchange offers them. 2FA or Two Factor Authentication is an extra security measurement ensuring the identity of a person via access codes that is usually refereshed on a timed manner on the owner's chosen devices (usually your mobile phone).

It is easy to install, easy to use and is quite effective. And more over, popular 2FA such as google or authy is absolutely free. Just don't forget to backup your authentication key so that you could recover your access should you lose access to your device. Loosing your authentication key could get you locked out of your accounts once 2FA is employed.

An extra ounce of care is always helpful.

It is best not to visit malicious links and trust strangers. Absolutely not disclose your wallet information to others. It is best to have your own private cryptocurrency wallet, myetherwallet is the best choice for you.

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.

The topic is useful and is almost covers every important aspect, but I'd just like to put in my two cents worth here. There's one more useful tool, i.e. TOR browser. In some ways, it can help you protect yourself even better. Hope it's useful Wink

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.

Thanks for this wonderful tips of advise, it is a very big help to anyone here whether newbies or old members, Now I will also share this to some of my friends who don't know to stop hackers to hack our wallet whether crypto or bitcoin. God bless you Wink

I agree with everything you wrote here, but just wanted to add that whenever you use PUBLIC WIFI (sometimes you simply don't have choice), you should use a VPN service, which will prevent you from many troubles.

Thank you!

That's right. A good VPN is a cornerstone of online security. And it's not only limited to PUBLIC WIFI. Every time you go online and enter your login and password, it is potentially unsafe unless you use a trusted VPN service and with crypto it's a MUST. So, I guess VPN should also be included on the list.
Otherwise, the list is nearly perfect. Thanks for sharing!

We really need to keep hackers away from our assets, it is now good practice not to display your wealth or boast of your assets online, so as not to make yourself a target. In addition  to the listed precautions, keep your email address secured as it can leave you vulnerable for online hot wallets especially if you don't own the private keys

I am quite sure this is a proof that there have been many occasions of compromised accounts on the bitcoin platform either by sheer carelessness or ignorance or both. There is a need for all and sundry to take heed irrespective of your status, location or activity. This way we contribute to the stability of the markets and business.

Thanks for sharing! This is very important. But you know what?
The rules you have shared are simple and easy to follow, but many people are too lazy or careless and often break the rules #1, #4, and #6. Can you believe it? They think 2FA is too much fuss and then go and open links in their emails. I know guys who did it more than once! Some of them had troubles with their banking accounts and one of them had to "pay" crypto cash for such a fascinating lesson in computer security. Apparently, one lesson isn't enough for some people Wink

Be very careful when storing your passwords and secret keys. And also there is a danger of getting on a fraudulent site-so check the address of your wallet's website
We can not stop the hackers to hack because if the hackers will predict that our wallet is not secured for sure they will hack our wallet and all of our crypto will gone that's why as holder of cryptos always take care our private keys and dont share our wallet on social media.
Well, then we need to keep our savings in different places. For example, if even your one wallet is hacked, then you will not lose all your money

Most of the times a token holder can be get hacked by hackers through there email account because hacking a bitcoin or an crypto wallet is much difficult to hackers due to there secure methods but hacking an email account maybe easy by some how getting the passwords and because most people have saved there private keys of there wallets inside there email accounts getting into the email account means hacking his or her wallet

Indeed, most people get hacked because they receiving suspicious link on their email and visiting that link. Those link always need your private key. Better always aware on suspicious link on our email because hacker want to steal our coin with that link
