“Digital currency holders have never felt so vindicated as they do today. They’ve also never been under so many attacks. Hackers are targeting the increasingly valuable cryptocurrency more than ever before. In just the past few weeks, three major thefts have hit the Bitcoin world. The only foolproof way to protect anything digital with certainty–including but not limited to bitcoins–is to hold it offline. Bitcoiners, who refer to offline reserves as ‘cold storage,’ can use USB drives, physical bitcoins, offline encryption keys, or even paper wallets to prevent cyberattacks. But given the extra layer of difficulty, most Bitcoins are not stored in this way.”
