in 2015 i see the virus in our computer that can manipulated our clipboard, when we copy the bitcoin address and want paste it on the address column, the result is not same with the data that we copy, so if you want to send the bitcoin check twice about your address, is it correct?

He just shared free downloadable plug-ins in group chats and public forums and used the host computer to mine virtual currencies without the knowledge of the owner, maybe it can be possible and yahoo had provided such information might be a credibility to really trust this news, And Ordinary computer users was an easy targets by yang because they don’t regularly check up on their servers which may be scanned by hackers for vulnerabilities, So it can be possible.

We should have 2 different devices (pc or phone). If we want to download and use new plugin, we just install it to the other device.
The device which have our wallet should not installed any new foreign plugins for our safety.

I do not know how to steal, but the fact that the miner viruses are already boring me ... I can say for sure.
Recently I even read about the game in steam which while it is playing it uses your computer resources for mining ...

Hardware wallet is the key for your problems. I know a lot of investors and bounty hunters who have lost their funds because of phishing. Hardware wallet will help with security.

Computer viruses are different. But if you do not go into details, then all hackers anyway steal information with viruses.

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..

As with any new innovation (especially a financial one), there will always be pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. It comes with the territory. In the digital age, it is to be expected. Whenever there is good done, always expect the bad to be not so far away. It is the truth, but an ugly one. Some people just want a fist full of dollars,  while others just want a few dollars more.

By movement of huge funds that are way more than this front the Crypto market. It will be good of hackers and thieves can be nabbed in the Crypto industry. Kyc will be a good end solution .

I always prefer to hear about computer genius who are attending to protect the security system they are called the white hats, but the sad truth is that they are rarely at the same time as black hats are most common.

Regular computers are easy targets by those because they don't regularly check their servers that may be scanned by hackers for vulnerabilities, so that's possible.

Not surprisingly, they invented such a virus.  The crypt becomes more popular and it gives an opportunity to earn hackers.

First of all i don't believe it at all because it is quite impossible and there are a lot of ways in order to make our coin safe. So, it is not a subject to worry.

So many cryptocurrencies stealing methods by the hackers. That is why I don't click on any link whose source I don't know again. I received so many attractive emails directing me to click on links but I refused, no matter how attractive. Some airdrop are also used for this stealing nowadays because the forms ask for personal information that can easily help the hackers.

It will worsen as bitcoin gets mass adoption. Better keep a percentage of your hard-earned bitcoin for a purchase of a hardware wallet. Believe me, it will make things easier and safer for you.

I just bought a Ledger Nano hardware wallet,I am also alarmed by those viruses, malwares or keylogger that steals your info/private keys. I think its good to have a hardware wallet for security. Last year it was the ransomware that scares many. This people will ryto exhaust all means just to steal our crypto assets, be always mindful of it.

Where there is money involved there will be scams involved too. There are hundreds of phishing websites out there which steal people's data in order to steal money from them. Some softwares replace the copied address with theirs and some browsers are coded that they automatically start browser mining in your PC. Some websites also start the browser mining process in the background. We have to be careful in what we do when it comes to crypto  or else we might loose all that we have.

Bitcoin coming out is probably the greatest boon to black hat hackers ever. It gave them away to directly steal from people and monetize their skill set. Obviously it's inexcusable behavior and such, but it's totally expected.
