There are other ways accounts get hacked, there are some fake projects online that would request for logins just to get intouch with how someone's password look like, hackers tried this passwords on other accounts of the victims like their gmail and blockchain accounts. This point also makes account vulnerable to attacks.
It would have been better if you listed atleqst few of those platforms resulting from the cause of such malwares and attacks.

Recently I heard of a new malware that operates via public or shared charging ports. I mean, you can get your bank account cleaned out in seconds by merely connecting your phone to a charging port in a public place. How frightening this whole thing is! Wow.
That's pretty scary. I haven't heard same thing here in my country but who knows there might be someone who already experienced this one but wasn't able to report to authorities so there is no news. The most hacking I know was about people who were robbed by their banks, blaming a glitch in their system.

it professed to be my specialist organization and gave me a number to call. I admit I tried to call however the ring didn't sound right. Seemed like an old phone. I hung up and rebooted my PC.
If you get that while browsing, you should be able to block it with a noscript extention for firefox / your browser. I think rather than a crypto scam, most of the time it's just tech support scammers and if you see a message with something like "Hello! your computer have contacted Microsoft support and alerted us that your PC has a virus. Please call -number here-" then you can pretty much safely ignore it. When dealing with crypto though, it's always a good idea to have a cold / hardware wallet since it's much safer.

It is not always as easy as you want it to believe, today they use many methods to steal cryptocurrencies and not all people are capable of avoiding them. Stealing the crypto is very profitable and you don't have much chance to report the theft to the police.

Use of Mobile for Crypto trade and investment is not safe.As there are lots of Applications specially those are not authorized by android are installed on our phone which not only breach our private data but also keep an eye on our financial assets.The more dangerous thing is that they are harder to detect in mobile phone as there are many apps installed on our phone.
Recently, My friend lots ETHEREUM from his wallet and the reason was the applications that work in background.....
Therefore,We should be more vigilant if we do have crypto or other online financial assets in our phone

Actually, I am very confused now. As you say, the pollution is getting more and more sophisticated, it's hard to avoid it.

I always use antivirus and anti malware as sometimes antivirus doesn't catch the malware or backdoor programs.

These con artists are continually getting the hang of, getting to be more astute and increasingly refined. Be cautious consistently. Download just from authority locales and consistently check where the connection drives you will go.

It is neverending fight, so we must watch out for any new threats, malware and viruses,
and more so if we have our wallets installed on computers
It is indeed a never ending fight.If there are ways that had already been disclosed and being avoided or completely knowns,these scammers does continue to create new ways to scam or hack people with all possibilities that's why our own experience and common sense is the main weapon to avoid these things.and more so if we have our wallets installed on computers
never install or download any app from unknown sources
No. 1 basic rule but people do still fail to follow this one. August 16, 2019, 06:10:52 PM
Crypto is a target for many hackers lately and one of the ways they infiltrate is by use of malwares, stay safe and be wary of sources of certain files before downloading
August 16, 2019, 06:07:38 PM
I know about this and I often try to stay safe, I don't download apps directly from playstore, I always try to get a direct link from the website or something of that sort

You also avoid save any file from telegram which comes in form spreadsheer, zip or exe formats these are all malwares used by hackers to steal private informations, or compromise your wallets.

These malware's are very common on Telegram Telegram especially, just last week I fell for one and got every file on my phone wiped off, it was a very painful experience for me. I learnt my lesson though, it's just sad I had to learn the hard way. This post has gone a step further in preventing more people from falling.
It's quite unfortunate that malware are also sent via telegram. I feel so scared because of the prevalence of telegram airdrop bots which has been deployed by projects for the execution of airdrop, i only hope that the bots are not hijacked by hackers and used to take advantage of the phones of individuals.
Airdrops is actually a risky venture owing to the fact that one needs to consistently input personal information into forms and this may be used by the hackers or bots to get out passwords. Its always good to be very sure and very careful carrying out airdrops task.
This is so sad. I think a solution to this would be a good project to recommend, not a typical AV but an anti-virus specifically designed to combat this problem or minimize the risk
