Hackers are everywhere and they attack us anytime, aside from not saving your private keys elsewhere we should be very careful as well when it comes to opening or replying to a certain email, make sure that it's legit before you open it. Specially in accessing any unknown website that will lead to fraud.dont save your private key/12word in any cloud server notepad file.

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.
this is only a simple tips that I shared about stopping hacker but there are more things you can do to stop hackers and prevent their methods of hacking this has been around for decades so this is time to educate people on what are the ways to prevent the unnecessary scenario in the crypto world and give them a little information and education to be protected
I think this is impossible, as we know that hackers are always active to hack our bitcoin and the easiest and safest way is to enable all security features or 2FA, and I like to use web wallet like Xapo or coinbase because it comes with 2FA.

It really is a great idea. Thank you for the pieces of advice regarding about on how not to scammed. Since I encounter being hacked I will follow your suggestions.
Excellent description, and do not forget Trezor / Nano Ledger for added security. We must anticipate all forms of crime, not least in the world of crypto.
Yes the most safe wallet for now is cold wallets since before you can hack them you need a physical contact

thats was very helpful information, thanks to share anyway and of course i think it better to store any data excluded from your personal pc for better save, and i save my wallet using a CD
This is a difficult thing because hackers always develop techniques to hack our wallet, even it must be admitted that at this time many promising program offer can hack private key, and to overcome it all we can do is activate all security feature that is 2FA.
Your post is one of the best post on how to save your crypto wallet from hackers by following some simple things. You explain the things in very good way. I am very thankful to you. I would also say most of the people didn't secure their email ids with 2FA it should be our first step to secure our email with authenticator to avoid hacking and our private keys should be saved on some paper & should not be saved on computer.
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.
this is very true. i have my friend that use the other pc or computer to login.
later, his tokens on the wallet have been stolen. it is not good if you use other pc,
your password or private key can be stored at that pc.
They are all good advice and they are the things that almost all of us do, but they have not been enough to completely stop the problem of wallet hackers.
Good information. Choice of wallets are important too, I will restrain from using third party and online wallets. It is easy target for hacker too.
Make sure to always save your savings in a hardware wallet as it becomes physically impossible to save your savings. Also enable 2fa on online wallets for added security. A strong password is a necessity when dealing with large amounts of cryptourrency. 
My advice is to use the metamask extension for your browser so you will not get phishing because this site is a potentially dangerous or phishing website. Some good antivirus and anti-malware software for your computer is infected by this stuff and you still have protection as a hardwallet to have multiple passwords to process through your transactions.
