Topic: Beware of Increasingly Sophisticated Malware Infection Attempts - page 9. (Read 858634 times)
In this sophisticated malware infection that attempts always may carry not only virus but it may panic for us imagine if they hit on our system everything may vanished i hope it will be controlled by our it expert and we must put anti virus software in our computer to avoid disruption..
Anyone of you encountered the ransom cryptolocker? Would running each wallet/miner in a different virtual machine with virtualbox prevent the effects of this kind of malware?
interesting information, and I have a question, are these malware bypassing anti-viruses? or antivirus does not play a role here?
Kind of.
You have to be quite alert to stop viruses from entering your computer even with antivirus, it's not full protection. There are new viruses being created faster than they are being detected so there are infection risks and AV might not do much as not many people are using Bitcoin.
That is horrendous. Anybody of you experienced the payment cryptolocker? I caught wind of it not very far in the past. What isn't right with individuals?
Greed. I believe that most malware and exploits are detected by modern anti-virus programs. But you still need to be cautious enough when working on the Internet. It is also important not to open links that came in emails from unknown sources.
I wouldn't even say "most" here. I'd say some, and it depends on how you define dection. My antivirus tells me if a script is being run that is a new script, has an invalid signature or is run by fewer than five users... If scripts like electrum get this alert, I don't think a lot of these cryptocurrency heuristic viruses are detected similarly.

correct me if im wrong but maleware its generecly for executables in windows no? i mean the wallets are but its not kaspersky enough?
if not why do we need to protect from the case of reteiving passorws from the users and other stuff from enven pen drives with wallets (including the common coins ones) like doge ltc btc and a few more.

yes most of the malware are executable files in windows operating system but this doesn't mean that malware can't affect other operating system such as MAC and Linux Distro there are other malware and viruses that can also penetrate other operating OS the key is to make sure that we will not easily fall to the trap of this people who are taking advantage of newbies.
Yes this becomes the part of crypto currency involvement since we are dealing with digital world this means that you might be prone or be involve in harmful cyber attacks. But there are some ways to prevent or to avoid these peoples from fooling or hacking you around there are lots of ways you can easily setup some security measures and a counter measures incase you are under such attacks
Yes most of the time malware and exploits are run or activated using a script or a backdoor script if we are not careful enough those malware might infect our device and steal the very information of us

remedy me if im wrong yet maleware its generecly for executables in windows no? I mean the wallets are nevertheless its not kaspersky enough?
if not for what reason do we have to shield from the instance of reteiving passorws from the clients and other stuff from enven pen drives with wallets (counting the regular coins ones) like doge ltc btc and a couple of something beyond.
It's not only executable file in windows but also it is also in other forms mlwares can be more dangerous if it can be use in multi platform because it can adapt on different platforms if not for what reason do we have to shield from the instance of reteiving passorws from the clients and other stuff from enven pen drives with wallets (counting the regular coins ones) like doge ltc btc and a couple of something beyond.

The software of hackers is improved every hour with this you can not argue, so as not to become a victim of a hacker, observe simple rules.
1. Update the antivirus in time
2. Enable Auto-update of the system and all important programs (Browsers, Java script, etc.)
3. Buy a good router
4. Or as an option to use for Linux wallets
good advice sir,really usefull for me myself because my computer has been hacked long time ago. so for now i can anticipated for the safety of my laptop. thanks sir 1. Update the antivirus in time
2. Enable Auto-update of the system and all important programs (Browsers, Java script, etc.)
3. Buy a good router

I thought that it should not bother me. But it turned out that my device is participating in mining, and I did not even suspect it. Be more careful.

Great suggestion linux wallet and linux os is great but there are othee attacks like spoofings to inject malware in the users machine to avoid getting hack I will add make aure you are connected to a secure DnS servers this will also add a little security in you machine.

Thanks this was very informative. I guess this forum is a big target for malware developers who want to steal easy crypto money. this is very helpful. am very carefree while on the net. but with this information i will be more cautious 
It's extremely important to be updated about security vulnerables these days.
Thank you for identifying these issues and providing useful tips and solutions to avoid being scammed. The crypto currency sphere needs this type of vigilance to attract more users in the future. It is really helpful. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the warning!

I believe the best you can do is to install the latest malwarebytes. It is available for Win, Mac and Linux as well.
