Yes cryptoworld is prone to hackers , especially now that the cryptoworld is full of newbies investors they are the usual target of hackers because they think those newbies dont know anything on how are they going to manage their accounts. That is why there were so many tips and advices on how are we going to protect ourselves from hackers.

If you mean "prone" to being hacked, then yeah, the cryptoworld is very susceptible. This is because there are huge amounts of money available on the internet. It's pretty hard for a hacker to steal our fiat cash from your pocket through the internet. Your crypto coins, on the other hand, are ripe for the picking. It's a constant war between hackers and everybody else. I requires smarts and attention to avoid hackers. I think a lot of people hear about others getting hacked and think that it won't happen to them. The more it happens to people, I think the more people will start to be careful and take measures to protect their crypto.

Since the internet was invented everything is not safe, but developers always improve security from daily encounters. Hackers are like burglars no matter how safe the facility is they always look for its weakness and loopholes, that's why its a big challenge for companies to improve their security that cost millions. People do bad things will never win and they can't hide forever, law enforcement can always find them and they must put their talents in the right place.

Exactly. Its very true that crypto world is usually attacked by hackers because of its popularity and the profits nature of cryptocurrency. I sometimes do blame the exchangers who create a way for these hackers to badge in.I suggest they teach people about security system in cryptocurrency.

The name of the hacker must always be there.
The more new ones come to the system, there are definitely more hackers.

But depending on hackers too, they always take money that is sinful, not from good money.

Hackers can hack anything that is computer generated, such as crypto. Hackers are expert on doing this. So to protect your bitcoins from hackers, it is very important to always update the btc wallet and make sure to have a secured password or change your password twice or thrice a year.

We need to hold our horses right here, Hackers can get a hold of your private keys, your passwords and bank accounts but I don't think they can hack directly the crypto currency, they can just hack a wallet of either a user or an exchange. Without some great technologies like the quantum computer, I don't think they can do it. Secured Password will not cut it, you need a lot of other ways to make your BTC wallet safe from them.

We have to conceptualize the best safety wallet, the one with the hardware wallet, the hardware purse is the safest crypto wallet, it is suitable for big bitcoin investors to keep their bitcoin balance.

Do you mean prone to hacking. It does not necessarily mean that if you have bitcoin you have a huge tendency that you will be hacked. If you are not very careful then you may be a victim of small time hackers. But we cannot deny the fact that big exchanges have been hacked and they lost huge amount of bitcoin amounting to millions to billions of dollars in value.

yes right, does not mean if you have bitcoin you will be hacked. if you keep it in the wallet it might be a bit more secure. some time ago many exchanges that have been hacked we can not do anything. I have some tokens that I save and I still use the mew address and stay safe. recommendation from me use hard wallet like ledger or trazor.

There are really some people who wants to take advantage of other peoples weaknesses. Today on wards, hacking will be the most profitable hobby but this can create very bad impact into crypto discouraging people to use it. The blockchain itself is unhackable but due to human error and carelessness hacking has been very rampant nowadays. We should be extra careful in clicking suspicious links that could phish information from our devices.

It does not necessarily mean that if you have bitcoin you have a huge tendency that you will be attacked. But we can not deny the fact that major trading floors have been attacked and that they have lost a great deal of bitcoin in the millions of dollars in value.

It's only normal when a community grows the consequences of harmful situations also increases. However, Bitcoin has always been safer to use than most other cryptocurrencies which makes it the most trusted one. Nevertheless, it's always good to be extra cautious and not fully dependent on anything.

One reason why there are still a lot of hackings in crypto is that the users are lacking the knowledge to keep themselves secure. People still fall to a phishing scam, malware, etc. So how to keep yourself secure?

1. Never download anything suspicious from unreputable source. Always verify!
2. Put 2FA on all accounts. Use a Google authenticator instead of email/phone authentication.
3. Use hardware wallets.

With those 3 simple steps, you'll be safe from most dangers out here.

All I can say is that your security and safety is in your hands. Everyone will take responsibility for that. Keep your wallet details and keys safe, don't keep your assets on exchanges, don't give your details to a third party. These are all that is needed to be done.

hackers attack wallets and account only when they have the chance to, if your wallets are secure properly with 2fa and other security measures, there is no way you can be hacked.
