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!

Thanks! I am pretty paranoid with all these hacks now I only use a device for crypto, no browsing other sites. It is also good to see this kind of post because awareness is the best kind of prevention.

And any firewall can be hacked or bypassed, everyone thinks that they will put 3 antiviruses and everything under their protection

Malware, short for malicious software, is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software,[1] including computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software.[2] Malware is defined by its malicious intent, acting against the requirements of the computer user - and so does not include software that causes unintentional harm due to some deficiency.Malware is sometimes used broadly against government or corporate websites to gather guarded information,[7] or to disrupt their operation in general. However, malware is often used against individuals to gain information such as personal identification numbers or details, bank or credit card numbers, and passwords. Malware infection may become a reality for bit coin users also. Users have transfer funds or convert currency electronically. Without protecting system by sophisticated anti virus,users should not apply the system.

I'd like to add the bitcoinwisdomapp.com to the blacklist. It's a keylogger behind it.

They are not only getting stronger but smarter. What i don't under stand is why the POS wallets can't be coded so that it doesn't come up as a trojan. This is opening up a gate
way for potential hackers/scammers to get access to your crypto/info/pc and you as the staker don't really have a choice but to turn off your fire walls to make a buck.

don't turn the firewall off, add an exception in the firewall for the program (wallet) that you want to run/connect

Can anybody help me with the question: If I get hijacked, they do not have the 2FA code they can get into my account? please help me answer
thank you !
thank you !
Depends, usualy they would need to obtain and use your 2fa code before it resets to the next code. So if for instance you was on localbitcoin, set up a transaction, your screen freezes, then are redirected to a log on page requiring your 2fa code, I would not put it in, as this is a hack, and will give the 2fa code via a fishing page or other exploit, that will then be used to release the funds, while your screen is froze.
