The amount of money that hackers receive is quite small, there is no actual evidence that criminals are doing millions, extorting Bitcoin through their software development.

This does not mean that criminals will stop extorting, it will remain a rather popular business, but it is not as successful as it was supposed.

Thanks for the info. I think this forum will help to save money from scammers. I keep only Altcoin, so for me this article was useful.

This just happened to me. First thought was that perhaps it's a browser based miner. Note the mention of WorldBTC!

The odd thing is that I have two Mozilla derived browsers running (Pale Moon, Firefox) and they both closed when I clicked on OK.

I checked all of the files in Program Files\Pale Moon and none of them have the string "BTC" or "WorldBTC" in them (but it could be encrypted)

I also checked my web cache and cannot find this string.

Can't find any pages related to this via Google.

Anyone had this happen?

As much as we like freebies we should be careful of the application we install on our systems expecially hack copy of an application because most of the hacker want valuable information back from us which will give to them not knowing and my first BTC wallet balance was emptied because i save the private key and password on my desktop by Zbot/Zeus trojan. I learnt my lesson in hard way

This is why i dont really entrust any other file lockers or any other similar thing when storing up private keys and other relevant information into my wallet access details.It would be much better if they are stored up on a flash drive rather than on leaving it saved on a desktop pc. Its too risky yet once the pc being infected those informations can really leak out.
In just a minute, malware can easily infiltrate a personal computer and take away all personal information. I think we should use the computer only to do work related to Bitcoin. Other things to do on another computer. Simultaneously protect your personal account in various forms of security. It is important that everyone is always careful about the activities that people suspect on the Internet.
Having a separate computer is a good idea but we do all know that not all people do have the capability on having both which why most of us will really have single pc which be mainly used into our crypto works and save up files connected to it.

different appeals as worsemen tries to work with the chance as capturing details of the login from the use of technicals on scripting as might to helps as trader to collects of information.
and the returns on excess as kept on request as they might wants to work of the wallet as displacing details within the new medium and put in the
request to transfer other peoples money with the altcoin wallet...

Yes, it is better not to store passwords in the browser and in the computer. I store it separately on a USB flash drive and on paper.

in my case, IE11 was completely locked up and I had to be fast with the "end process" clicks. I've never had my browser hijacked like this. That is unless we count AMD's user surveys they keep imposing on us after a driver install.

Omg, thanks for the information, I'm always very afraid of losing my data or getting a virus, just cured the computer from a miner who was almost six months mining on my computer ((

You know im really glad that im seeing this. I lost a bunch of money when https://coinsmarkets.com went down, and I felt like an idiot. Ive been in the space too long to be making noob mistakes like leaving your coins on the exchange, but at the same time. I've also been in the space for so long that i don't trust every random developer who makes a coin. With that said I still feel dumb for my choices not because I left coins in general but because the coins that i had on the exchange were coins that i had wallets installed for

Main point for this post is that were getting to the point where for those of us who really understand whats going on but arent software devs ourselves its scary AF to get into any of these non major platforms
