Hacking of Bitcoin is not a new phenomenon. However, the recent increase in frequency and severity of attacks on Bitcoin wallets has led to a greater need for security measures. The number of hacking attempts on Bitcoin wallets is increasing at an alarming rate. According to a recent report, there were more than 1,000 attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges in 2018 alone. In fact, the number of hacking attempts increased by over 500% compared to 2017. As a result, many users have lost their money through such attacks. In fact, some of them even lost their entire savings because they did not take any preventive measures. And this is understandable because most people do not know how to protect themselves from hackers when using bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. So what should you do if your account has been hacked? The answer is simple: you need to change your password and two-factor authentication (2FA) immediately! You should also check whether your browser supports HTTPS encryption and install an ad blocker extension if you don't already have one installed on your device.
