You can't stop the programmers to hack your digital money wallet. All you have to do or the most secure thing is to separate it into a few spots, there is no assurance that empowering all security highlights will be sheltered. So sharing them into different sorts of wallet is the most secure thing.
In addition, i suggest to use hardware wallet like Nano Ledger S especially if you are holding huge amount of crypto currencies. Nano ledger S is an offline wallet in which proven safe for years against these hackers. Your ways on how to protect our crypto assets are all very informative and very useful against the thieves plus using hardware wallet will now become trully safe.
There are many ways to stop hacking our wallets. But the best way is to buy a hard purse. Ledger Nano S is the best product I have used in the past 3 years and I have never been stolen by hackers ever. it was a great success.
To avoid phishing or hacking use a hardware wallet to store your Bitcoin. That way your bitcoin wallet will be safe because they cannot open your wallet without your physical wallet. Even if they stole your hardware wallet they cannot open it without your password.
Yeah, right now there's hardware wallet that will make your assets safer because you will avoid phishing and scams, but you need money to buy hardware wallet, but no problem it will be worthed with the security you will get, but if you don't want to buy it You can use an online wallet and add 2fa Be cautious when downloading files, not only in email. Remember that there are clever people out there in crypto. You’ll notice files posted in communities, on Telegram, Facebook, Reddit, etc. As tempting as it is to click them, be aware that they could be bait. Always caution.
I think this is a very high risk to get a hack because if you connect public wifi, many hackers can hack your account just by using your own wifi.
This is very helpful and deserves to be read specifically on new brands in this crypto currency, many people are hacked because they don't know how to protect their own coins and they don't know how to place security to prevent hacking. I always enter 2fa for evey accounts and I'm not logged on public wifi.
I would add another point - use antiviruses on your devices, which will protect you from phishing activities, especially when you log into your emails.
Using a virtual machine for getting access to your wallets and exchanges is also a common practice (though not everybody is technically smart enough to install and operate a VM).

Yes sir! Having an up-to-date antivirus will protect you against the latest threats inherent within cyber space. With this, you could avoid phishing attacks, keyloggers, and other malware which are known to have a negative effect over your cryptocurrency funds stored on your device. In addition, adding a good firewall software (such as ZoneAlarm) would contribute towards the security of your hard-earned cryptocurrency funds. This firewall has integrated Ransomware protection, which is good if you want to keep away hackers from stealing your information and asking for money in return.
Virtual Machines are a great way to further secure your cryptocurrencies against hackers too. I've seen a Linux-based OS called Qubes OS which relies on Virtual Machines for nearly every application executed on it. Everything is isolated in a Virtual Machine, which help prevents hackers gaining access to other critical parts of your system that would affect the longevity of your crypto funds. If you're extremely paranoid, then use an external Wifi adapter to conduct your crypto transactions, connect to a VPN, use Tor, and even an amnesic operating system such as Tails (which forgets everything you've done on it after a restart or shut down of your computer).
There are still ways to hack digital wallet and some of those are very complicated because they will going to use an app where you can disclose your private key like a phishing application that could be forwarded unto to you. However, if you are just too cautious then hackers could not be able to hack your digital wallet. Just ignore good offer on the messages of the social media that includes here in bitcointalk also.
This is the best way to stop hackers to hack digital wallet. Since there are many experts in the computer and internet then it must be a good strategy to make a certain plan and study on how to get away from hackers. This thread is very helpful and i saw many merits on top of it. Well good luck to all the crypto holders out there hope that they can bump this thread.
numerous individuals are hacked on the grounds that they don't know how to ensure their own coins and they don't know how to set up security to avoid programmers. Forestall things however much as could be expected not to utilize an open PC to check the status of your wallet, check different gadgets that don't have a place You can likewise help.

Thumb up to the writer.
I can say that this piece of advice is not meant for the newbie or the beginners alone as many people would have been thinking such is for the beginners alone. But i can say lot's of we the so called professionals can also pick one or two things from this as nobody is above a mistake. No one is an island of knowledge, the so called professionals can still be scammed and hacked aimlessly on what even a newbie can't even fall victim for.
I have always believed that whatever we do online is always accessible to someone with or without your permission and hence it is a critically important aspect of maintaining security measures. I have observed that in most of the cases the victim is equally responsible for the success of execution of any scam or hacking attempt. When it comes to the crypto, the decentralization has a tremendous power but at the same time it brings a whole new set of responsibilities for the users and we cannot afford to ignore those responsibilities.
Of course victims who play a big role in this problem, you can see cases like scams, phishing, or even hacking. the victims carelessly invest their money in projects or sites that they don't yet know deeply, or they are careless by logging in on phishing sites, and their awareness of their wallet security that is lacking, they don't give 2fa to their wallets? of course when the case occurs the error is in the user itself
Thank you for this safety guide OP! Lots of people have absolutely no idea how to protect their cryptos and privacy properly. And that's why such guides are golden for the community I personally use a hardware wallet and 2FA protection everywhere and never had problems so far.
