Its no longer news that an ICO in Japan has lost over $400 million to hackers. They promised to pay back investors who invested in their ICO. Thsi is a huge loss. After I read that news, I began to wonder. How safe is Bitcoin and Other altcoins? What measures should we take to avoid being hacked ?
Cryptocurrency "in vacuum" is absolutely safe unless you somehow reveal your personal info (private keys, mails, etc.). Regrettably, we cannot handle our coins without wallets and exchanges, and it is these intermediaries that are mostly unsafe.So keep your credentials on a separate flash drive and never click links from unknown emails
