Well issues on wallet and private key are really vital since that is where we keep our treasures you play careless and you loses everything. Also never trust anyone when it comes to the crypto world and keep your private key safe.
The most important way to protect the wallet is to not share the privet key. I recently wanted a privet key with the excuse of distributing a lot of scam project awards. Nobody should get that. airdrop or bounty project privet key does not want. Those who want Privet key are malicious fraudsters. Don't give anyone a privet key.
I don't trust to the different electronic keystores like ledger, because there are a lot of cases when this wallets was sold with a special programme like keylogger which stole the key. I prefer to write my private keys on the paper.
Safety of private keys it is your own decision. You have to take care about that. Just learn a bit more about preventive measures and level up security of your computer. Also always use Metamask!

I agree with you, the main thing that beginners should understand, your private key to the wallet you should keep in a safe place and do not tell anyone. If you are asked to provide a private key, then it's scammers. For greater security, I advise you to also buy a hardware wallet.
I advise people not to regularly use private key to access their wallet. Instead use applications that support crypto storage today. You only need to log in once and can use it until you want to logout from that wallet
Why would you give your data to anyone? Your wallet is only yours. I would store all my personal data on a separate removable drive.
The best way is not to get oneself compromised.

I'd go further and say: Never store your private-key on ANYTHING that is connected to the internet... Get yourself a hardware-wallet or sign your transactions offline or at least don't store your unencrypted private-key/recovery-phrase on your computer and use the keystore-file (encrypted private-key) instead - but I'd recommend the solution mentioned before as you might still get infected by malware and with a hardware-wallet or offline-transactions your private-key would still not be exposed to the internet.
Private keys are like passwords to your bank accounts. It make sense not to reveal private keys to anyone. There are lots of scams around to scam users from their private keys. Some examples are airdrop, claiming fork coin and etc.
I don't think one needs to be told how to deal with his or her private key, no matter how careless you are you need to be more careful about your private in order not lose all you have earned or bought. Never believe in any airdrop who requires for private key or claiming to earn you big money which is what attracted people more.
Safety is paramount! It would be a pity to lose accumulated coins! Therefore, I don’t especially hold anything and drain as quickly as possible!

I do not think that the storage of the key causes someone problems, you can just save the private key on a flash drive and store there, without connecting the flash drive to the Internet , I think it is worth installing a phishing plugin that will protect you from this as usually hacked phishing

Yes. Your private key is very more important when you are talking about your wallet although not everyone use private key some use phrase to all is more important, another thing is never use the same email address for airdrop and your personal email for those who keep informations on email and always with different passwords.
You should back up the Json file. I didn't even care about the private key. If possible, buy yourself a Nano S Ledger to better protect your property.
I recommend using encryptors, they can protect your private keys well, the main thing is not to keep them on devices with open access to the Internet.
