Topic: Beware of Increasingly Sophisticated Malware Infection Attempts - page 40. (Read 843901 times)
thanks op for the info . ill just add these do you know that There are three traditional ways for malware and viruses to generate bitcoins for their creators. Direct theft of private keys from bitcoin wallets, parasitic bots that mine bitcoin with stolen processing power, and Ransomware that encrypts files and demands a bitcoin payment to restore access.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm new to buying altcoins and this has to be one of my biggest concerns. Are there any programs or software that you recommend I download to protect from viruses or malware?
Thanks
For your pc? If youre software is windows, windows defender for me is enough. Just be wise dont click any suspicious links to avoid getting a virus. Always updates you software and anti virus. But if you are using linux. Then i think you are safe because it is not easy for virus to go inside the software. Thanks

So using Linux or Ubuntu Helps?
yes it helps sometimes. linux is a open source software, and as what they are saying it is hard for the virus to enter that software, because of its highly recommended security, although for me it is hard to use linux because i think it is not user friendly but i believe it will save us from different virus attacks. be wise in all our clicking website in the net now. 
So using Linux or Ubuntu Helps?
it helps as most malware targets windows. with windows best practice is up to date patches, good firewall good antivirus and good internet hygiene.
*nix/apple is not 100 % immune though.
So using Linux or Ubuntu Helps?
That's dangerous. Isn't there any precautions by forum Devs for such cyber attacks. It is easy to open ANN threads or any topic by anyone and thats freedom completely agreed. But what if shit are opened up by attackers everyday and we got victims everyday. This is not healthy for forum really.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Thank you very much.

Just avoid to click on any suspicious URL or links/downloads should be enough.

Hi Security aware people who commented in here
Do you know if all the TOP20 blockchains have been tested just like bitcoin code has been or is there a risk that we discover that a network like maidsafecoin or Waves is a scam ?
Thanks for commenting your thoughts.

there is a easy way to avoid this. Dont install every crypto coin that comes out and try their software if you dont fully understand their code or its not fully evaluated. Also dont run it on machines or networks where you have finances. Try to vmware/virtual box it before you add it to your massive list of altcoins you invest in.
I didn't even think that malware could possibly enter and do some harm here, Thanks OP this thread helps me more aware of malware. One time also I got victimized by malware and i didn't know where it came from, Sadly but more expenses to cure it.
Basically the user's caution is necessary to keep computer software safe
Could anyone answer this question for me? I do have Comodo's sandbox running on my computer. Would that be enough to protect me against the kinds of exploits that the op is referring to in this post, especially with respect to malicious file downloads? Thanks!
Anti-virus offer no protection for this but it's very easy to protect yourself :
Do not download anything from this forum.
Do not mine shitcoins on your main computer. Do not install shitcoins on your main computer.
Use a garbage computer with no personal information and not connected to your network for this shit and format it regularly.
I just want to make it clear that formatting regularly your computer isn't a good habit at all. You are just making the life span of your personal computer to become lesser but if you are going to do that with garbage computer that would fine and there's no need to worry about it. And for those people out there that can't help their fingers but to click suspicious links, always don't believe people who are posting some links.
Never Use a Wallet Hacked
Changing passwords is not a solution. Because of the possibility of all the private key in your wallet that has been hacked it is already known the hacker and private key can not be replaced.
Leave the wallet that has been hacked. Use the new wallet.
