Bitcoin theft usually happens through hacking and human mistakes. In many cases, hackers create fake websites or send phishing emails that look like real crypto platforms. When users enter their wallet details or private keys, hackers instantly gain access and steal the Bitcoin.
Sometimes Bitcoin is stolen through malware. This harmful software secretly records passwords or replaces wallet addresses during transactions. Even large exchanges have faced Bitcoin theft due to weak security systems or insider involvement.
The biggest reason behind Bitcoin theft is lack of awareness. If users protect their private keys, use two-factor authentication, and avoid unknown links, most Bitcoin thefts can be prevented.$BTC
