Topic: HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET - page 38. (Read 5339 times)

Good information and i think by using hard wallet like trezor or ledger nano can reduce the risk of your wallet being compromised significantly, i don't really understand the concept of DNS spoofing when using public wifi and its like our home network can also being compromised eventhough we don't know about it by spoofing when we're being hacked once. CMIIW 

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.

One of those tips came in handy and I reviewed my opsec.. Just getting back into crypto.  Thanks

Thanks for  the info. It is apt. Blockchain has a level of security compare to Ethereum which has  a little or no security at all. All your effort to protect your private key must be at the maximum because once someone has your private key that account is gone and lost.

you can use an offline wallet to get your job done and the ledger wallet or trazero wallet made for it obviously the environment is not safe at all so many money stolen people so you have to choose the most secure

Thanks for your full information to protect our wallet from the hackers. Especially to those who like me as a new in cryptocurrency. This is useful, and warn for me. I will not trust a person I know just yet

very good post serving the community, I really like to see this kind of info here instead of asking why the price is not 1 trillion usd per 1 bitcoin should be inspiration for other users too

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

You can greatly reduce the risk of theft of your cryptocurrency if you use cold wallets, such as Ledger or Trezor, for example.
As for me - it is rather comfortable to have Ledger and use it (for MEW login for example) everywhere without any fears.
