Topic: Are you afraid of hackers? - page 10. (Read 10496 times)

everyone is afraid of hackers, we all have to be careful with the data we have secure all our accounts from hackers protect our wallets from hackers. We all have to be careful when we want to visit the website.

A hacker is a thief. A thief is a criminal.
So aren't you afraid of one? Because I am afraid. Simply because of the fact that not even the real world that banks get robbed, people held for ransom and whatsoever.

IT also happens here. If it can happen in daily life, what do you think  about the fact that it can't happen here?

So yes I am afraid plus I have been a victim so I have been securing my wallets now. Thanks to that.

if we do not type the wrong web or phishing and do not click on any link from email, telegram, twitter, facebook or from other social media and we do not use public wifi, do not give important data like password or email us to other people and computer we will also from the virus attack then we should not be afraid of hackers. from 2016 I joined here and I've never been hacked. which is important we are careful in safeguarding our data and we should not be afraid.

Everyone at least a little afraid to be hacked, but I don't think that we need to be afraid of this. People should not ignore precautionary measures and do everything to protect their coins and tokens. Safe browsing, use few wallets, have a good antivirus and firewall, don't follow suspicious links and etc.

Really, we do not want hackers to be objects. We must abide by the rules that we need to abstain from them. We will always be careful so that we can keep ourselves safe.

Yes, I am scared always illegal act's.Their no one is safe 100% but I am trying to protect myself by being careful browsing, Not using any hacked software and not opening any suspricious mail. That's why you need to be very careful with those link that it discovers.

Not that afraid but maybe hate them most because I think they make a criminal activity that making other peoples suffers, They should been jailed and no compensation.

Indeed, we do not want hackers to be objects. We must abide by the rules that we need to abstain from them. We will always be careful that we can be safe.

Yes ofcourse i do anyone are afraid of hackers this is the common problem in our life in crypto just keep all important and keep it carefully

Of course I'm afraid. Despite all the advantages of the digital currency, it is still susceptible to attacks from intruders who want to take advantage of the almost unregulated scope. Mining malware is only part of the set of tools that hackers use. When choosing an exchange, you need to focus not only on the size of the commission and the currencies with which the site operates, but also on security issues, including mandatory use of two-factor authentication for access to online purses and exchanges.

do not you hear the MEW case in the hack.?
Hackers will not stop looking for security holes and he spends time for it. we should also continue to maximize security and do not make mistakes. it's safer to keep the assets in the hardware wallet and we have full access.

With an increasingly diverse range of crimes that exist today, especially in the cryptocurrency. Of course it is natural when I was a little afraid. Especially for it hacker who commits crimes intelligently. And it can be so powerful to be able to have the technology destroy or even steal data that we have.

If you keep your data safe when you do not need to be afraid of hackers because if you keep everything safe then there is very less chance or near to impossible chance for the hackers to hack your computer or data so better to make yourself safe instead of getting afraid from hackers.

 A new form of cryptominer has been discovered which crashes systems the moment antivirus products attempt to remove the malware.

The malware, dubbed WinstarNssmMiner by 360 Total Security researchers, has been used in half a million attempted attacks leveraged at PCs in only three days.

On Wednesday, the cybersecurity firm said the cryptomining malware aims to infect PCs in order to steal processing power for the purpose of mining the Monero cryptocurrency.

WinstarNssmMiner is brutal code as it will crash victim PCs the moment antivirus products detect and attempt to remove it.

The cryptominer launches the svchost.exe process -- used to manage system services -- and injects malicious code into the file. One injected process begins mining cryptocurrency while the other runs in the background to avoid detection and scan for antivirus protection.

In the second stage, WinstarNssmMiner then tampers with CriticalProcess, adding a process attribute which allows the malware to crash the system at whim.

However, the malware is a coward at heart. As 360 Total Security writes, WinstarNssmMiner "turns off antivirus protection of defenseless foes and backs off when facing sharp swords."

The malware scans compromised systems for antivirus products. Any "decent" solutions offered by reputable companies -- such as Kaspersky Lab and Avast -- and will quit automatically if these types of antivirus products are discovered.

However, if weaker antivirus systems are in use, the crash process starts up and victims have to live with crippling slowness and blue screens while the malware cheerfully steals their power and mines Monero on the attacker's behalf.

"Due to the nature of digital currency mining, cryptominers use up victims' processing power for the sake of their distributors," the researchers note. "Some savvy users are able to identify and terminate the CPU consuming applications. Hence, WinstarNssmMiner protects itself by configuring its mining processes' attribute to CriticalProcess so infected computers crash when users terminate it."

Four mining pools have been linked to the malware at present. At the time of writing, the threat actors behind the spread of WinstarNssmMiner have mined 133 Monero, which is equivalent to roughly $26,500.

Now I'm not afraid) I have very few savings and income. And for tokens that are not yet traded, they will not hunt)

Hackers really have to be afraid because they can easily steal your wallet data or a certain exchange and you will lose your money, you can not joke with it, do not pass your data to anyone, and always look at the site's link!

Why should I be afraid of hackers? I'm not a rich guy who has $ 1,000,000. I usually follow security precautions when I'm on the Internet. I think nothing threatens me.

I don't like them. they can steal, but they can't make their own money. but it is difficult to find them, and how to punish..

I've also been attacked by hackers, it was a depressing morning and collapsed, until now I still do not forget and the hacker is still an obsession with me, exactly as you say, fear makes us become more careful and thorough in every activity. Although I've upgraded my security, limiting logon to bad sites and using only one computer to work with bitcoin but the anxiety always exists every morning when I wake up, if someone told me, they are not afraid of hackers in the crypto world, that would certainly be a lie

no i am not afraid of hackers, cause never heard before hacker hacked a wallet, but wallet are not responsible for this, so if you keep safe your account then hacker never hacked your wallet
