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.

Let's not forget the importance of hardware wallets -- they make it much harder for thieves to steal coins!
Security is important. Everyone protects their wallets safely
There is some risk, even with a super secure Hardware Wallet, which is supposed to the the gold standard for security today. Most issues happen in the points of connection with your wallet, not with the wallet itself.
Don’t Use Public Wi-Fi
We have access to public WIFI in a variety of places, from libraries and councils to hotels,
cafes and airports, allowing for an anywhere office. Crypto is 24/7 and hackers know it,
and access to Wi-Fi makes it tempting to log into our accounts, wallets and exchanges on-the-go. But this is risky.
The vulnerability that comes with public Wi-Fi is that they make it easy for hackers to access computers that are connected to that network.

Use Two Factor Authentication
If the wallet offers a two-factor authentication (2FA) take it. This means that if someone had access to your login details,
they would also need your phone to get the 2FA code.
However, note that text and email 2FA are not recommended as these can easily be intercepted
if someone has access to your email, or ports your phone number to a new device.
in order of most to least secure, are as follows:
Hardware dongle, see: https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/
An app on your phone that doesn’t sync your secrets anywhere (e.g. Google authenticator)
An app on your phone that does sync (e.g. Authy)
Email based
SMS based

prevention of hackers is very necessary, we really need to be careful that we also do not lose our property
because I myself have experienced it even though it is already a risk playing the online world
