USE linux, there's no viruses for linux

Does that mean I should keep everything on my Android phone? Because it's linux, you know that right? And there's noooo viruses on Android, right??

There are viruses on linux and android isn't linux per se it's just based on the linux kernel.

If your password is strong then this means your computer is most likely compromised,what type of anti-virus are you using?
it's true that bitcoin is irreversible and this is why paper wallet offline are recommended for money you don't intend to spend immediately.

yeah that hurts but it's not the end of the world, just a little lesson, just be glad you got it out of the way now with such a small sum. Imagine if you would have had say 20k lost.

The only good thing is hopefully he and others will learn from this and not repeat his mistakes.

It may sound ironical, but newbies really should not use Windows.

I feel sorry for you and I'm afraid this would happen to me as well. Coldstorage and sweeping the drive for malware/virus as often as possible. Try to see it from the bright side, it wasnt more! :O

when are people gonna learn?

USE linux, there's no viruses for linux

keep your coins stored on a wallet on YOUR computer

NEVER trust a website with more than .01btc unless you plan on using it very quickly

no password is secure. especially when you're on line. The biggest drawback with passwords is the fault of the owner. Undecided

as said here before, the best security is to keep the password only in your brain,
and beside that, bitcoin is now going main stream, that will mean people will need more and more security, i am sorry for what happened to you, i think people need to be more aware now of their computers as money holders, that is, if we dont want it in our bank..

I agree, hardware wallets might be solution to average people, but still not available...

The most secure client would be armoury i just set it up - it took 2 to 3 days for it to sync up. You can also use it to start a cold storage system. It also helps to use another os (linux) as they are alot harder to hack. Theres even a page on how linux is more secure on ubuntus website. It sounds like a man in the middle attack - hope this thread helps show people that online wallets are unsafe for large amounts of money.

I wouldn't trust your wallet on any external server, even encrypted. Do frequent checks on your PC or media that you're storing your coins on.Keyloggers, well they say common sense is the best anti virus...
