This is one of the great problems that the cryptographic community is facing and this is because all encryption operations are embedded anonymously. This is a growing threat. The frequency of electronic money hacking these days seems to only increase. I do not know that any financial system is evidence of hacking or cheating 100%. One must be able to invest their money confidently without fear of losing hackers. Yeah it is very true but then, everything in the world is prone to hackers. Yes, because people are very genius even do bad things like hackers. It's easy for them to steal someone else's wealth from their hard work ... Do not click on any malicious website.

It's not just the Cryptoworld that's prone to hackers. Hackers can be everywhere. You need to get rid of internet if you don't want hackers. However, if you do your homework right and take some simple precautions to prevent getting hacked, then you are pretty safe.

The whole world is prone to that. Irl you get scammed, on Internet you get hacked. Caution is required on both sides. Awareness is the only thing that can curb it but there will always be newbies who fall for it (and then and only then they will learn).

Thinking on the higher plane of existence.
I am blaming the developers of exchangers, They have to put more priority on cybersecurity. We know that hackers are using every means and are using different ways to hack. It is like our residence, as arm robbers are using different ways to penetrate people house, people  also solidify  security of their houses.

You can't blame them at all, there are just people who wants easy money and one of doing this is to hack someones account and steal his/her money  and identity. Exchanges also learns from the past and developing the security of their website to a optimum level. We don't know the other vulnerabilities of an exchange just like what happen to etherdelta in which i thought a unhackable exchange but the hackers find a way to penetrate users information by attacking the DNS. I just suggest that these exchanges should update their security and reward those who can see its vulnerabilities.

it is indeed so interesting btc that hackers compete to get in and screw up in it, careful attitude and careful storing keys may be the way to minimize us so that not being touched by honest hackers is very detrimental

Maybe what you mean is "prone" to hackers not "prune" to hackers. If that is what you mean, then yes, I think BTC is. Because now, BTC is the largest honeypot bounty to whoever will be able to hack the bitcoin network. But goodluck to them because the bitcoin network itself is unhackable. But which is the next best thing to hack after the bitcoin network itself? It is the people who hold cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in their own wallets by hacking their passwords for their wallets. As well as the exchanges. Because these are still controlled by people not by algo.

It is prone but thanks also to this forum and media outlets, the attempts on individual people are lessen because they inform more and more awareness on the public against many forms of hacking. I'm not just sure if exchanges are still safe from group of talented hackers.

what hakers is a problem what can be done is to place more security to leave a part of the crypto out of the network and work only with the needs and have highly trained groups in the exchange of currencies to avoid these attacks placing cybernetic barriers the hakers you know that  the bitcoin every year that passes grabs more value and that's why those constant attacks have to have all encryption to avoid theft and take care of our private keys without our keys can not open our wallets

Hackers are everywhere and you can't do anything about that. Sad reality. Anyway, those hackers target large companies, BIG people and even like us, downloading software thru online makes you prone to it, unless you store your coins using cold storage or if you are able to use two-way authentication. The best way to encourage people who are scared to get hacked is to educate them about the things i mentioned.

Hackers are like viruses that often attack software inside a PC. The higher the quality of the anti-virus that we install/make, yet they will continue to try to break it down. The only way's perhaps by encouraging investors to use offline wallets. Sorry, that's all I know.

When your store your coins in an offline wallet, your coins are safe. It's almost impossible to find the private key. But an exchange or any other website can be hacked. It's same as a facebook account or an Instagram account.

This is already a rising menace. And it's really disturbing. The frequency of cryptocurrency hacks these days seem only to be increasing. So, the big question is what is being done about it? I know not that no financial system is 100% hack or fraud proof. But this is not excuse enough in my own opinion. One must be able to invest their money confidently without any fear of losing it to hackers. It is a very basic demand.

Yeahh and that is one of the very big problem the crypto community is facing and this is all because of the way crypto activities are embedded in anonymity. It is better keep your cryptocurrency portfolio safe to prevent these hackers from stealing your funds.

Cryptoworld is full of hackers that is why we need to be aware in everything. We need to make sure that our bitcoin is secured. We need to know what is the best and safest wallet. Sometimes they target those people who was lack of knowledge about bitcoin , they take advantage on them like newbies.

Crypto's world isn't full of hackers, but their presence is worth beware they always lurk anyone especially those who have the most bitcoin. We also don't know when they will appear because every hacking case happens the trail they leave behind's the loss of bitcoin of course with a very large amount.

There's a saying that if there's a money then there's a goon. Crypto is played by investor using their big amount of money. So hackers really wants to use it as their scam to gain money to others. We're talking big amount of money right here so there eyes are on this.
