Malicious software   or “malware” for short   is a broad class of software built with malicious intent. To identify i will tell you how.A newbie asks for the latest wallet, or wallet that doesn’t have any TX fees, or the latest/fastest miner, and the attacker posts a program with malware embedded as a response. This type of attempt usually gets spotted pretty quickly.The attacker creates a new ANN topic and posts a malware link as the download file (or a legit one and changes it to a malware one later).The attacker quotes a legitimate post containing a download link written by the real developer (usually the OP or a update post) and changes the link within the quote to a malware link.Those were just an examples of how they used it. So think before acting.

It does seem to get worse.

But, the best thing you can do to start with in protecting your funds, is getting yourself a hardware wallet and storing tokens there. Avoid online wallets like MEW.

On the computer must be an antivirus, look at where you enter your data and passwords. In general, you need to be careful with the data

Thank you for the insightful information. I believe malware developers have this kind of platform as a target for obvious and selfish reasons.

I think its very terrible incident for us.Malware is one of the most useless virus.It generally killed our phone and hacked our all privacy by a group. Actually,we work hard for our own development but this group haked this within a minutes like a vampire's eating.This work done by some indolence people who are interests to earn money dishonestly. For these all things,everyone should be aware of sophisticated Malware infection attempts

I found this today. Post has since been removed but I managed to screenshot it beforehand and also left negative feedback. A link to the virus total results is included in the feedback.




It wasn't especially sophisticated, nor was it crypted just a basic wallet stealing code that scans PC for private keys. Seems to be targeted at noobs that would get greedy and download without thinking.

My god, this is just targeting at the greed of people. Always be wary of such a low blow

I was wondering something about hardware wallets, in my case, the ledger nano and the last firmware update: is it possible for a malware to compromise the ledger manager and make me install a fake 1.4.1 firmware during the update process?
i didn't find  informations about that, if someone knows about the ledger security

It is getting kind of scary. I don't understand the insane need of malware attacks in a market that is generally so bullish anyways (ok it hasn't been bullish lately, but still). Bad people out there...

btw, thanks for the info.
As a newbie in crypto currency, that's one i'm worried about. We didn't know if the app i downloading is legit, or safe.

Do you have any basic rules on detecting malwares?

Your response will be much appreciated.

the best rule for detecting malicious programs is to keep the main purse on a device that has never been and will not be connected to the Internet!
