Surfing on the bitcointalk forum, I sometimes see some threads discussing about hacking of wallets and the discussion is geared towards the best wallets to secure individuals from hackers. Hardware wallets are normally mentioned. I decided to find out about hardware wallets and my searches made me know that, wallets which are normally hacked are of software base. I found out that some viruses which attack computers are able to steal private keys from the software wallets that we normally use. The issue of virus attacking a computer makes the use of hardware wallet very advantageous over software wallet since the hardware wallet are immune against viruses, hence viruses cannot steal from such wallets. My question is what are some of the hardware wallets and how can one get a hardware wallet?

Hardware wallet can Offers much better security than an online wallet and a bit better security than a software wallet. Allows funds to be sent to and from the device. Doing this often will reduce its security though. While Software wallet Usually user-friendly designs. Software wallets have been made to give users the easiest way to use the Ethereum blockchain. Sending, receiving, and importing private keys should all be very simple when using any well-known software wallet.Easy to access Ether and other digital currencies. If you make a lot of purchases from online sellers using your Ether, payments can be sent quickly and simply from a software wallet. However, both wallet have their own disadvantage. You need to choose the best wallet that fits to you.

Hardware wallets also have some safety problems, so i recommend you, first of all, save your private keys ONLY in paper version. Dont use any clouds, because they can be hacked.
