As everything connected to a network is vulnerable, we really gave this hacker problems all the time. As it happens with burglars in our real life, we have to deal with digital crimes as well. I see no immediate solution for this problem. Only individual awareness and decision making.
Every single device in this world is prone to hacking. If something as reputable as CBI's website and Playstation's network can be hacked, then almost everything can be broken into. It all boils down to an individual's awareness and decision making ability. If a person installs third party phishing softwares, then he is obviously more prone to scams. Also, it is advisable to keep your secure data like private keys on a device which you won't access on regular basis, like an old laptop or an old flash drive for example. Since you won't be using internet on those devices, your data will obviously stay secure.
Also, you should ensure that you do not click on any third party links, no matter how trusted it looks. Only open emails from your trusted contacts and avoid installing third party softwares.
That is true. No system on the face of earth is hundred percent safe. There is always a loop hole that hackers can use to break into the system but that does not mean cyber world is not secure but physical world is more secure. Threat is everywhere and precautions are also there in order to mitigate such stuff. Actually the robbers of the real world can even take the life of victim but hackers don’t. Moreover, bitcoin is not that insecure. Also, you should ensure that you do not click on any third party links, no matter how trusted it looks. Only open emails from your trusted contacts and avoid installing third party softwares.

Carefully in typing the private key on websites because there are more phishing and fake web recently, this can steal your private key!

I think Cryptocurrency security depends only on each person who uses it. It is only guarded by their respective owners.

I just do the simple thing, the most important thing from ourselves we keep what kind.

Hacking and phishing attacks are among the biggest security threats to your cryptocurrencies, so you must set strong passwords for your wallets and all accounts that deal with cryptocurrencies.Keep these tips in mind when setting up or using your cryptocurrency accounts:
Use different passwords for every account you use to limit any damage that can be done by hackers.
Use a unique email when opening accounts on each exchange and only use that email address for that specific exchange.
Enable two-factor authentication for your exchange accounts. This adds a software to your smartphone which adds extra security to your account. Without two-factor authentication, a hacker only needs your username and password to empty your balance.

I think cryptocurrency is still safe for every people and it's more secure if we can save our private keys and our wallet from the attacker and you can find many ways about how to secure our wallet. and if you still afraid of the attacker, I think you can move your coin to your personal wallet so only you that could control and only you that can watch your coins. but there is no 100% guarantee for us to keep our wallet or our coin safe in all day long but we could prevent the attackers.
