Topic: Should I Be Scared Of Hackers If I Have Lot of BTC. - page 10. (Read 4151 times)
if its hacked then you are done, nothing can help you now. it is better to have desktop wallet or separate your btc in multiple wallet.
As per my acknowledgement hacker never know how much BTC particular wallet have within it. They always try to phishing user to get trapped. And once trapped can get whatever amount it have in it. Now its another part if hacker got big amount. But everyone who use web or any online wallet must have to take security measures against own wallet and keep them safe and secure.
If user holding big amount of BTC then
1) Don't put all eggs in basket
2) Keep wallet backup private, safe and secure
3) Never share own credentials to anyone or even online
4) Use desktop wallet with paraphrase
5) Keep your computer clean with reputed updated antivirus
6) Use Hardware wallet
These preventive measures can help to keep your Bitcoins more safe.

Only girls are scared the first time they are jumped, so many shitposts, Satoshi has Lot of BTC, can you find him anywhere? he has no fear, holding almost a million Bitcoins. speaking of hacking and hackers, I don't know why I have no longer any access to the alt coin icons, tamper monkey still shows them as enabled. lol now I am getting to feel OP's concern here.
What are you talking about I am a Girl.. 
As long as you are safe you should be ok. Private keys have to be kept safe and be careful of phishing. There can always be a fear that wallets themselves are not safe but paranoia creeps in when you start to think too much about it all.
yes you should be afraid of hackers cause sometimes wallets are scams so becareful where you store you bitcoins

If you invested in hardware wallet and generally keeping a low profile, why should you be scarred? I think BTC price drop is scarier think if you have lots of them 
Dont be scared if you know you put your bitcoin in secure and safe wallet, even you have a lot or few of coins. Just stay away from promising wallet because they are scams, also dont tell to anyone your password or private information. Also you must have backup of your wallet, atleast you can get your coin anytime if something happen. 
I am hearing a lot of users' complaint about having a problem transferring their BTC, Nowadays I am not selling it because I am "Hodling" it for future. But I am a bit of scared now because all this news about the people's BTC being hacked.

no bitcoin network cannot be hacked but if u leak your private information then they may take your bitcoin or any other but it is not an easy job to hack the bitcoin
It is the hard task for the hackers because the bitcoin has a lot of the wallets so the bitcoin is very bright and I hold the bitcoin and helping a lot of the people I hope the bitcoin will be able to be more safe because it is now possible and the bitcoin is being happen to buy the bitcoin and hold it as the bitcoin resource I have the bitcoin is now being invest by all the people and my all friends are investing in the bitcoin fearlessly.
always check your privacy securty and do not for any reason sent your wallet security personal to any one any site and you will be safe
It only depends on your wallet. If you are using a wallet that has been trusted by everyone like professional traders that are trading day by day then i think that it is enough already to become secured on your coins.
I think you should be careful with your bitcoin. I believe bitcoin is very safe but we shall never know when you will be hacked or not, there are many cases recently shown that bitcoin has been stolen from users wallet. So make sure you keep your password safe.
In the world of Internet data security is the most important thing. Even if chances of being hacked, one must take steps to make his kind of information secure that is on the Internet. Bitcoin is a very expensive digital asset. It is about $9,500 the holder must be careful about its security. A strong password will definitely help but the most significant step is to not trust anyone and never give away your credentials whenever asked by any website.

Before thinking of what you should do IF you get hacked, i think its more important to focus on securing your private keys so you won't be hacked in the first place. I don't think it's that easy to hack btc wallets and all you need to remember is to keep your private keys to yourself and make sure you don't give it to others. Or get paper and hard wallets since these have less no no chance at all of getting hacked.
The only way you will lose your bitcoin is by hackers using phishing website cause it needed information about yourself once you logged in to that not secured page you will lose all your bitcoin so be careful about hackers.

Oh it is not Bitcoin that is unsafe but rather it is a wallet that is unsafe (in case of WWW wallets) or the user's computer gets compromised. Or the user voluntarily discloses his or her password.
So Bitcoin is safe as a protocol. It may be unsafe how you handle your bitcoins

I think you should be. We have a lot of reports of bitcoin being hacked everywhere, although there are no really solid evidences for such happening, what are you going to do if ever if happens to you (with your lots of btc). If I am in your place, Id rather not stock my bitcoins in one wallet, try to divide it in many wallets so if ever one wallet got hacked, at least not all of your btc is gone.
I have nothing to be scared of. As long as you know how to keep and secure it,
hackers won't do anything to steal anything from your BTC.

Don't hold large amouonts on online wallets. Keep your private keys safe. Double check everything. Be a bit paranoid about those things 
The thing is I have to, because it is just for a short time I a keeping the BTC, after 3days I have other plans for it as I am investing on an ICO. You need to use two-factor autentification and be carefull of spam at email. That's all!
Yes, I think that is the best option because all others are suggesting the same. Jump to:
