If you want to keep your coins safe, you always have them in your personal wallet.Keep it, and do not show anyone your private key.

Nope, as long as your coin is on others (Meaning you are not the coin holder), you are not safe.
If you put coins in the exchange, you technically are the owner ship, but the real coins holder are the exchanges not you

Don't worry, dude. Of course when it comes to money things got serious but you can't change what you can't change. You did your best, provided 100% security. Other things don't depend on you so just relax and hope for the best.

Exchange wallets are only good for small amounts that you use for daily trading and if you have large amounts you should probably go for Personal wallets.

I would Recommend Ledger Wallet as I am personally using it and it safe and always in front of my eyes.

This is part of game where ever you go will find such kind of threats but we can minimize or avoid these with highly secured tools.If you want to save your investment use valid wallets and protect with different methods like two factor authentication etc.

Scammer should be feared more than hackers! Hackers are not likely to pick on your individual account. Hackers will also have to go through a lots of hard work to brute force your account if it is even possible for them to do so. Follow standard practice of keeping your account safe and you should be okay.

With that amount, it is "safe" to have your money stored on an exchange, I'd recommend getting a Ledger Nano S if you hold bigger amounts (say $20k or more). Otherwise, keeping your money in an exchange is "safe"
I partially agree with you here. The Ledger Nano S is indeed one of the best ways to secure our bitcoins, but saving our money on an exchange is far from safe. For example, several million dollars worth NEM was stolen from a crypto exchange which potentially screwed many big whales who invested and stored their coins on that exchange. Storing our coins on an exchange is convenient, but risky which I feel is not worth it. Desktop wallets or online wallets like MEW are much safer in this regard which is why I recommend not storing your coins on any exchange.

It is really the best to check our own wallet for the security purposes. There are many users who had got hack their wallet lately.  We should be very careful next time because hackers are everywhere.

You will safe, if you maintain some things,
That are,

1. Secure wallet
2. Email Secuirity

You should use more secure wallet as like hardware wallet Ledger nano or Trezor wallet.
Otherwise extra safe metamask or myetherwallet when you can collect your token.

You are right, but there is third very important point. This is browsing security. Everyone should be very careful when browsing, because this is important.

Not only you, I think most of the people are afraid of Hackers/Scammers.
So be care of your wallet and do not let other people know you private key any time.

Mostly hackers now and phishing site's are rampant they disguise look a like a  MEW wallet,but when you look closely there is differrent in the letters,so we must be carefull thats why we afraid to those hackers or scamers because we do not know there true capabilities on how they hack our coin even without knowing our private key,even we put a 2FA is not  an assurance that our coins is secure unles we buy a ledger nano s for storing our coins.

Not only you!
Try to learn the way secure all of your stuffs, and always do apply 2FA for every account Smiley
Not just one country has hackers, but all countries around the world have hackers evolve, There are many people fearing hackers will attack software or account to steal their data, I think We should create a place to defend our private pirates, to detect them before they are attacked

If you're not going to daytrading it and make it as your long term holding, you better put your altcoins into your personal wallet especially offline wallet. At least don't put all of them on the exchange wallet. There's no guarantee that the exchange won't be hacked.

As long as you keep your private keys and passwords in safe place, you are secured. If you visited sites that are suspicious and may be phishing sites, then you are at risks.
I would suggest, make another wallet so that you have alternatives. As they say, do not put all your eggs in one basket.
