I agree on "Don't turn off the email notifications of your wallets".

Yeah agree with you. with email notifications you can know if there is something like a withdraw request that you do not do. so you can directly do cancel and change the password.
if you can you can add a notification to the cell.

yeah if you use online wallet he only need your password and if you use offline wallet all he need is to hack your pc it is harder than password but there is very skilled hacker that will do the impossible to reach there goals.

Online or offline wallet are not that easy to hack as each and every wallet has its unique features which allows hackers to stay away from your hard earned coins.

Just come it to my mind. is it possible? to get hook into your wallet and send some to another wallet? Undecided

I don't know if you have seen but last months i have seen that many people were infected by a virus or malware which when people wanted to make a transaction the pasted address was always the hackers address so people were sending accidentally money to the hacker.

Well its the first time i see someone talking about some malware virus that affects the adress where we wanna to send the bitcoins,besides those i believe currently there is no way to hack bitcoin,since the hash protects the network.

Well only smart hackers did/do this and it had affected lots of people because it's hard to remember the address especially when you paste it directly when making transactions. That's why it is important to run your bitcoin client in a safe environment.

Oh maybe you are a good hacker or a creator of that kind of application so you can make it fast.
That is my experience to the bruteforce that I got and it is an android application.
Maybe that app is the BULLSHIT! but not me.

Oh! and I am sorry I am not a hacker.

Doesn't matter if it's a good or bad hacker, it is bullshit. Brute-force methods are ineffective as soon as you pass a certain number of characters (usually very low) and use a combination of letters [A, z], numbers and symbols. It doesn't matter if you throw all the computers of the world are the problem, you will most likely not be able to crack it in a reasonable amount of time. Don't spread nonsense.

Step 1) Don't use web wallets in the first place.

Ways on how to get the password of a user or of an account :

Dictionary Attacks
Bruteforce
Keylogger
Cookies of your websites and etc

So becareful of what your doing, Click at your own risk !

don't make me laugh dictionary attacks and brute force ,are you serious. it will take ages to get into, even with a super computer if you have a good password and everyone does use a strong pass for sure, the other two .keylogger ,malware and cookie hijacks are a reality and it is the easiest way to get into anyone's privacy Wink

Youd be surprised how many set no password at all. I dont think everyone uses a strong password and some wallets are badly defended against brute force attacks as well.

yes, in fact someone broke my pass on gmail, and i can assure you that it was a strong password with plenty of different characters and upper case etc, i'm lucky that i have the 2fa

so is definitely possible to brute force a password

That hacker sees you got good background that is why he did it even if it takes too much time. Brute force takes like a day or two before gettig a password. That is a hell of a patience for that asshead hacker.

all i know is that during the night the code was sent to my phone, so that is someone typing the correct pass

it seems that by typing my old hacked password(12 characters) here https://howsecureismypassword.net/, it say that it require only 485 thousand years, well it was not that strong after all,

I think that would be a keylogger code. That is why I am also careful in some computer renting shops. You dont know what applications are hidden in that computer and rental shops like here in our place limits your access so it will really give you a hard time.

Good thing wallet sites have an email notification once your account is logged in. You just have to be fast enough to change the password.

That is one more help "Don't turn off the email notifications of your wallets".

Its impossible to use brute force to hack your btc account or wallet because every wallet is secured by 2fa. The best way to hack wallet accounts is using phising sites and stole gmail password. By that you can enter on victims transaction. Wallet account and 2fa is can be bypass.

Bullshit.

Bullshit. How long a brute force attack needs to succeed depends on what you attack and the strength of the password.

If your computer safe from virus/malware/keylogger it's hard to steal your bitcoin from your wallet and a high proportion of malware is delivered via clickable links in spam which is crafted to look like it came from your bank, or wherever you trust when you post your email address on web pages for a business then you are inviting spammers to harvest that address and then hammer it with junkmail.

How about the owner of the wallets.(wallet company) is it possible to check your balance your account details etc..
coz you sign up and create your passcode etc.. and put some bitcoins to your wallets.

1 more reason to get your bitcoins is they will get or hack your passcode to your wallet so be careful about your passcode to your wallets.

There's a lot of reason to hack your bitcoin but there's a few reason to protect your bitcoins. hmm correct me if I'm wrong. Wink

I second that motion. Actually if the users are not careful of entering other websites or even hiding it somewhere else. It can easily hack by the other users. There's a lot of thing to do on how to hacked your accounts / wallet address. We should aware of that.

Users do the same with bank accounts, and they have much more money in there to be stolen. But banks force people to use security measures, bitcoin has the freedom to use no security if you want.

I think the best solution and the greatest security you could have is migrating your stash to a cold wallet and setting up a smallish hot wallet for your daily spending. There was one guy that kept his private keys uploaded to his OneDrive cloud storage and allegedly the hacker had gained access to his email account and managed to empty out his wallet just because of one weak link that was his email password. I can't remember his name but I think he had a Bitcoin business or something like an exchange website. Anyway my point is that having strong and unique passwords is paramount and your email account is the key to your digital life. So if you don't want to use a cold wallet then at least get a password manager like LastPass or Dashlane and update all your passwords again.

therefore if you do not want your bitcoin stolen by someone then you are required to provide 2FA on your wallet dude.
so that they will not be able to get into your wallet. although they have the password
if you do not have 2fa the possibility to hack always there

In order of your Bitcoins to be 'hacked' out of your account the perpetrator needs your unencrypted private keys. Now if you have a copy of them lying around on your HDD or you have a weak password to your online wallet theoretically your funds can be compromised. You can remedy this situation by strengthening your passwords by using a password manager and not holding a copy of your private keys or mnemonic string on your computer.

there is a very simple solution to that which has been suggested many times already and that is using a proper Cold Storage.
practically you are cutting the connection between the hacker and your important information (private keys, passwords, ....) by keeping everything offline and away from any internet or network connections.

very possible. many cases in this forum when it used to be, some people wallet hacked.
some examples because, installing the application exe strange(usually wallet altcoins) and also there are some scammers commonly spread when used. but for now I think the forum is already tight.
