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..

This is one of the main problems for all owners of crypto currency. Each user should have a high level of protection of their savings. But many are too lazy to make an effort to learn ways to protect, but there are a lot of them. and you need to use all these tools.

For me, it is really possible for hackers to steal your wallet if your wallet is saved in your computer. If they have the access to your PC and for your wallets/keys with the use of malware/virus, therefore they can access your wallet easily. I suggest that do not save your passwords/keys (especially your wallet) in your PC. Maintain your PC and look out for threats that can make your PC vulnerable to hackers. Be careful and be sure in what website you are putting your passwords/keys for your wallet.

Well, we can't possibly get rid of those kind of person that is infecting the market with that kind of way of earning their money. But I guess that is their deal of a living.

It's possible but still the security of your assets depends on you.  That virus or any keyloger or malware can't inflict your computer if you will not click or download it to your computer. So always be vigilant not to fall in any free or giveaways and you need to install something on your computer.

LOL that's an improper way of using your intelligence if you'll have this idea on your mind unless you really want to experience living behind the bars. You can say "IF" they will not be caught but not all the time you can flee from the authorities.

Unlike us who makes clean living by trading, mining, investing and bounty hunting, they tend to get easy income in their professional thieves way. 
Better to eat with clean money. Don't get jealous if they become rich easily, fight a clean fight and work for yourselves in a clean way. Don't admire those people that are stealing others money.

Might be this is the reason why bitcoin's value is going down.  Just my thoughts..
More people selling bitcoin, value going down that's the reason.

This is an interesting news, but personally I am much more worried by virus possibly designed to steal your wallets and / or your privare Keys. That would be much more lethal.

It will always be hacks to steal money. It's not just in the crypto world. There will always be scams, hacks, hijacks etc, with or without crypto.
Even banks (traditional ones) are targets of hackers to steal money. The reson with value has nothing to do with that, it's a mix of stuff.

Just for example of what i was saying

It's actually an interesting subjects of law and ethics. If you take advantage of someone's hardware without his knowledge, but at the same time you don't limit his abilities in any way, is it a crime?

I think it's usually a crime if you access someone's computer without authorization. In the US:
Many people whose computers were being used for mining didn't even notice and did not mine or plan to mine for themselves, so the hacker took advantage of their lack of knowledge and overall carelessness. He made money by using them, which is a bad thing, but he also did not make them lose money. Their computers were mining in the background only when these people were using them for other things, so they would be drawing power anyway at that given time whether they'd be infected or not.

How much does CoinHive, etc. slow down your computer? Maybe they "paid" by suffering through slower processing times. Smiley

It's not just China, crypto based viruses are from all over the world. The Americans like to blame the North Koreans and the Russians, but it could really just be a teenage kid hacking from his bedroom in his parent's house, earning lots of illegally gained coins

After the largest Exchange in China (Bithum), now the Hackers use a virus by utilizing online game sites to mine coins on a home computer. this is very loss to people, of course, electricity costs will become very expensive when used to mine. hopefully this problem can be quickly resolved.

Bitcoin is secure currency but it depends on your transactions, while putting some personal information or a private key. Or there are other different ways to steal cryptos. Just remember basic things like be aware from phishing sites. And i suggest reliable thing for big investors of BTC. They should use hardware wallets. It's just an opinion.

To store crypto currency you need to have protected device. The Cryptocurrency should remain anonymous, fast and with minimal commissions - for this the future

Offline storage for the win.

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.
Yes that is right and we need to be too much careful and make some extra security to our wallets specially if we are using online wallet, where th chances of hacking your account is more. AS so many accident has already occurred, when all the exchanges are hacked, therefore they may be now providing extra security for their customers.

Banks also have burglaries and clean accounts of money. Cryptocurrencies for a hacker are a tasty morsel. Especially since it is not an official currency and thefts are difficult to recover.
