Hacking is a big problem for this market. For this reason investors are afraid to invest on this market. For protecting this hacking every project needs to develop their security.

personally, I think, Hackers will find a hole and will try to hack the system or wallet, no matter how tight the security is. But so far metal mask has the strongest and most reliable security and no news about the hack that has appeared in the news so far and also I still admit it.



The safest place - is money under the mattress and beretta under the pillow. All other is not safe. Better to use a cold wallets to keep most of your funds. And seed phrase only at piece of paper.

I think its the same strategy as phising sites. So we just have to be careful on everything we do on the internet. Metamask will not ask you for your seed phrases multiple times. It will only do that  once. If in any case that it asked you again, close the page and go directly to you metamask. I am using the google ad-on shortcut to make sure that I am on the right page. It will also help if you isolate a browser specifically for your wallets. Thanks for warning us.

It is best to use a hardware wallet to store all your earnings in cryptocurrency. But if since you still dont have it, it is still advisable to use metamask, since metamask is still hard to make a hack attempt. Just make sure you dont your private keys online and don't expose it to ensure that you are still safe. And also make sure the url you visit is secured, if its not secured don't tend to go to.

Even your metamask wallet is not safe for high level activities of hackers. Just recently I learned this metamask hacking attempt and if you are not careful to analyze why you should give your seed phrase, then goodbye to your fund.

Loool. Thank you for warning ofcourse. But i cant even imagine how naive should be a person to believe in that. MetaMask needs a seed frase for update? shure, why not a phone number of your girlfriend.

phishing on metamask is more horrible than phishing in MyEtherWallet
because, if we have two wallets, then the two wallets will be cracked in one swing
and of course it is very convincing

Metamast has remained a good and secured wallet for quite some time now. Among all the wallets that have experienced some levels of hack, Metamast has remained intact. It really feel safe using metamast, but i also use imtoken wallet.

I tend to think that in every Security System the most weak part is human, so this is easier than anyway other, to fish a password From a person than to do it from the program.
I can't understand what you want to say. The most weak part is the user so that's what you want to say? that's correct, it depends to the user on how careful he is.
There is no perfect system and even the most secured one has it's flaws and openings for intruders but as long as it isn't exposed to the intruders, they are safe.
And if the user isn't so careful and he's so easy to catch through phishing websites, his keys, funds will be gone so fast.

Nothing on this world would really have that perfect system no matter how tough is the security and feature there would be always a flaw even just one but it do exist. Human error is the most common thing why these hacking exist. Hackers do take advantage on weakness of a certain person, getting important credentials wont really be hard if a certain user is careless. Metamask hacking its possible even though in the past they say this is a secure one.
Human error? what can be the human error that is the most common cause of these hacking? the programmer or security analysts didn't check everything so the hacking was just a human error?
Does those hackers knows everyone's weaknesses and especially those people who are maintaining the system of such websites?
Person's weakness isn't an excuse especially if there are many customers/users that are in threat with their funds, they are professional so why would person's weakness will be an excuse?

Seriously if anyone gets hacked this way then they have themselves to blame. Except I am using a new browser which metamask was not installed on already, there is no need to input my seed phrase more than once. Besides, metamask only comes up if you click on the extension. If it pops up without you clicking on it then its a sign of phishing and your senses should tell you to be wary of it especially when it asks for your seed phrase

Everything in the internet is at a risk. Nothing can be assured to be secured enough. Anything can be hacked at anytime. We just can be aware and careful as much as possible.

It's true that very many hackers are becoming more and more expert in their field and finding ways to hack everyone's wallets. His usual metamask is very safe. Still can be hacked, This is a warning that everyone is always careful about hackers. Because the hacker does not know who the victim is.

Thank you for sharing. There is nothing the hackers won’t think of, we got to be really careful when handling sensitive information.

Everything except hardware wallets is not safe, you can increase the security of your wallet, computer etc. but still it is not safe as a hardware wallet, I also need to use them metamask etc. but don't keep large amount of coins.

It is good to use hardware wallet as an additional security. I can’t imagine one day the hackers find ways to hack hardware wallets as well.
