yeah, Trojan is an example. Not only crypto world. but also in the real world.
looks a little worried if a computer virus gets into our computer! need to anticipate extra tight to avoid crypto breakers. but it is very sad if genius must be used to steal. I think that is very disturbing comfort in the digital world.
If you have a large amount of cryptocurrency on your wallet on your computer,you need to put a good antivirus and do not crawl on different sites.
Any form can be used to steal cryptos. Even downloading malicious wallets could be a way of stealing your funds through introduction of malwares into your computer. You should take precautions before downloading any wallets through use of strong antiviruses.
Its a real possibility. most keep their profits in paper wallets , offline or in tight lockdown to be protected from viruses. some lose their profits in minutes due to lack of security. so its up to us to keep our information and profits as safe as possible
Well, if you don't take care of the assets you have, of course you will find them. well, for now I have rarely heard of the case, and the biggest case at the time was a virus that would erase all the data you have if you didn't pay using bitcoin. so, be careful.
If you don't want to have your coins stolen then choose AML BitCoin. This coin cannot be stolen since AML BitCoin´s transaction system employs patented multi-factor authentication for every AML BitCoin transaction.

The best thing to do is to have a two-way authenticator or store these coins offline . Even virus in your computer cant penetrate if you use these kinds of method.
Here are some method on where to store it using offline method. This is the safest way though.
1. On a USB drive or other storage media
2. On a Paper wallet
3. On a bearer item such as a physical bitcoin
4. Use a offline Bitcoin Hardware wallet
Step 1 — Create a bootable USB flash drive.
Step 2 — Create a cold wallet.
Step 3 — Create a “watch-only” wallet in the main OS or mobile phone.
Step 4–Spend Bitcoins in a secured way.

yes,computer virus used to steal crypto from our laptop or desktop.hacker just try to install a virus at out laptop/desktop than try to collect our personal data.after that he used those data to steal the money. Every time I used a antivirus for my laptop and regular scan my files. also I never install any unauthorized app or software at my pc.
As one of the options to reduce the price of crypto currency, this can make sense.
Sure, the thieves are annoying. However, that is a problem a lot of people have - Even the biggest companies.
It's not something only about the Crypto world, but turns out Hackers are not stupid(obviously) and they know the value this kind of currencies have, not only know but for the future. Really effective way of retiring.
I do recognize a job well done, especially when the company with a lot of millions don't take properly security measures due to greed, they deserve it. However, i personally prefer the long path towards goals and i encourage others to learn and improve personally while on the way. Getting rich too quick can lead to bigger problems.

The virus can be of any type and direction, and given the current trends, the virus that steals the cryptos was only a matter of time
As I have seen from a website about China's nabbing crypto thieves. So, being a computer genius has a lot of advantages to get rich so easily with cryptocurrencies if they will not be caught. Unlike us who makes clean living by trading, mining, investing and bounty hunting, they tend to get easy income in their professional thieves way. Might be this is the reason why bitcoin's value is going down. Just my thoughts..

It could be one of the reason why bitcoin is going down because of the hackers once they hacked an account or a wallet they gonna send to their address and withdraw all. Let's be careful what we download might contain virus that can steal your cryptos, double check the URL and it has high security when you try to trade in exchanges.
This kind of thing proves that people are indeed using someone's weakness in order to gain something. That is the problem of people of today. They did not feel the contentment instead they do bad things in order to be on top of everyone. This implies that the users should take good care of their computer, not just their wallet. In this case, even this is like to steal bitcoin, it simple means that bitcoin is very important today.
I think if you keep your pc protected then it will nor be harmful.
We should aware of that. This is very bad.
Those viruses are very dangerous for cryptos.
There are three traditional ways of using malicious software to "earn" bitcoins. This is the theft of private keys to bitcoins, purses of bitcoins with the help of bots-parasites stealing processing power, and extortion of money to restore access to encrypted files.
Most of the sites are having some kind of js installed these days I guess. My anti virus shows up some warnings every now and then.
Yes it can be happen if virus attached to our computer or laptop sure hanker will stolen our data easily from our system so before installing any app or software we have to check about that and we should have a anti in our system otherwise we will loss our data than easily hanker can take our crypto tokens with our database.
That's a very big possibilities but it's our obligation to secure our data especially there is anyone who makes a living in an easy way. We must established an anti virus system so that we can be sure the safety of our data.
