Need some spare btc for a new PC
Well even tho I'm careful about anything related to the internet, I think it would be the best to run a scan, just because you can never know. I didn't even know about this one.

the second rule, no matter what virus you want to talk about, is to not download anything from the internet which look shady

the first rule is to set a machine and don't even try to browse on the internet, you will be as secure as it need to be with your coins

besides only a idiot would not notice that the address changed the last second, before sending, i always double-triple check everything...

Yes. And do not just click anything you see on the internet. Maybe you got it from some clickbait or something. And this virus are really good because they can bypass any anti-virus software out there. So just double or even triple check the address before sending it. Worst scenario is to completely wipe out your hard drive and re-install everything to get rid of the virus. But you need to backup first all important files before doing the re-format.

Becoming legend, but I took merit to the knee :(
Recently There's a Virus I am victim of it and some of my friends, clients etc are affected too. This is called Copy-Paste Virus.
Please be careful while you paste a BTC address or Copy an Address.

The virus works like-- You copied a BTC address to send and while you paste it, It changed to other address and the funds sends to other account.



To be honest, these kinds of scripts are considered pretty script kiddie levels and they have existed ever since bitcoin first started. If you do not click on any of the pretty obvious "free btc for doing A or installing B" sites and you are not greedy and do not visit weird sites, you should be pretty safe.

This virus isn't new,it has existed since the early days of bitcoin on the darknet and other hack forums.
Virus or not,it's always a good practice to double check the bitcoin address you're sending coins to.
You can  buy off that code from any hack forums,it's sold openly.
Use linux for bitcoin,makes your stuff secure by 80%

Yeah! I had never affected on OSX but Windows has many options for Hackers.
I didn't ever noticed before this kind of things and so many other may not know about this VIRUS.
So...I had just posted here and no one lose money like me for this kind of Malware/Trojan/Scripts.
