Guys I've heard that it's better to use an apple computer than other computers such as laptops and the operating system Windows XP, I've heard that an apple is a more secure system for using. It's true?

yeah winXP is so old you can't even GPU mine from it. win7 or 8.1 still work good, but effort is needed in those systems to remove M$ spyware recently introduced as updates, Win10 so useless... so yep Mac or Linux is the best choice, i'd highly reccomend Linuxmint for a beginner

(you can install it to dual-boot on your windows machine, just be careful not to erase windows...)

I thought so, thanks for writing your opinion on this issue. I'm thinking of buying an apple to store all the crypto currency, and I'll use other computers to install wallets from other small projects, since this is less risky.

Cybercriminals are now targetting Macs too. I would store mine on an iPhone but if you lose your phone you are screwed. Best storage option is still hardware wallets.

For me, unfortunately, storing my tokens on the phone is not an option, I very often break it and lose it, it's dangerous for me. I was thinking of buying a removable purse for crypto currency, but it's insanely inconvenient for me personally.

Thanks for the tips. Security is a big issue here since lots of us are using hot wallet to trade on sometimes exotic platforms...

This sounds really scary, but I guess that where is the money, there are also malversations

Anyhow, you always need to be careful...

With this you are right, where a lot of money is tied, there will always be people who will want to eat this pie))

I read a lot and asked people about this issue. And many people say that Lunix is the best for our activities. But again, I myself use Windows 7. If you set it up normally, then everything will be fine, there is always a way out, you just have to think well)

Just use a chromebook for online activity. No virii possible, if you don't use extensions: no malware. Safest OS around...Can't install wallets though.

I give a link to very good programs https://www.virustotal.com and Panda ActiveScan. I often use them, I'm not saying that they will protect 100 percent of malicious links, but it helps a lot. In general, it's better not to download anything suspicious, because scammers do not doze and a lot of clever cyber criminals are now thinking about how to steal Our bitcoins.

Can someone tell me if this link is legit? https://electrum-ltc.org/

There are lots of malicious activities on the internet in our world which why we must be wary and careful on every website we click or accessed. Its threat is not only limited to virus activities but also gaining access to your wallet and steal away your money there. And then they are gonna bribe you by buying it with a huge amount of money something they called ransomware. Which can happen here in bitcoin so we should help each other in detecting this scammers so the community of bitcoin will be clear from malicious and suspicious activities.

Many learn from mistakes. Use antivirus software and check the addresses of the sites on which you are located. Also, do not keep private keys on your computer.

ofcourse. Their easy targets are newbies and not knowledgeable starters. the easiest way to have money if you have the skill is hacking and programming. that depends on person to person.

@eBitICO
These scammers are smart and also ritch!

I was recently a phishing victim and follow now the wallets used by the criminal.

I am following the stolen money since Monday 20 Nov.

He is shuffling now 1000 stolen ETH from wallet to wallet 24/7.
Creating new wallets automatically with Smart Contracts, I suppose.
It looks like that he is on the run on the Etherium Blockchain...
I wonder if it is programmed to keep the shuffle of this criminals wallet ongoing 24/7.
