Topic: Hackers are active these days. - page 20. (Read 7512 times)
Hackers have been around since the day that a guy pushed a punch card into a computer. There is nothing in the mechanisms of bitcoin that can be hacked with a return that is worth the time and effort. The weak points are the websites that maintain your information and your own computer. The only hacking that I have seen that could be proven was the stealing of passwords and such from a personal computer.
Hackers are actively working 24hours a day to steal and to destroy. So watch and be careful with your phone and computers and your password to avoid the hackers everywhere.
There are several ways to keep you safe from harmful viruses.
1. Do not use fake windows
2. Always update your system (windows) regularly
3. Enable security in the computer
4. Add an updated anti-virus
5. Always check the web address before logging in, keep fishing.

You can't avoid hacker attacks but you can improve your security. Don't keep large amount of bitcoins on exchangers, just the sum you want to trade, always update antimalware on your computer and mobile phone and be careful with your data connected to wallets, don't open suspicious attachments in your email. You have to be careful but not paranoic.
Yes they are. That is why I am scared to buy my own Bitcoins yet. This is one of the risk of Bitcoin investing.
You should not be scared to buy your own Bitcoins as long as your computer doesn't have malware you will be fine just do not give away your password!!!

I think they are active yes but bitcoin wont be affected by that it will be high as it is right now or even higher because of that so many people want it and even people try to steal or hack it.
I was not sure about this but few days back I have email some one from Russia is trying to enter in my blockchain account but fail to do this so now I am very careful about this changing all passwords and details regularly because I don't want to lost my money in this way some online news spread about hackers.
and I see from the facebook page, an ico has been attacked by two hackers. I forgot not to secure the link.
this is very worried, ico should be able to fix the error of their server and their web. because this will backfire for the outstanding ico. about the security issues that investors fear very much.
Well, i'm not surprise to read all & see all these stuff happening on the internet.
Most people are careless when it comes to online activities. They are better of when dealing with physical activities (stores) because atleast they are safer & can always have someone to blame should in case thing's go wrong.
When it come to online virtual currency where nobody should be held responsible or blame should in case something goes wrong. The user's have to be matured enough and be sure of what they are doing at any point in time otherwise, they should pause and seek advice on forum like this. Some of the administrator's in the house are willing to help but, surprisingly, all we see is crying victims who only come back to share such unpleasant stories.
Talking about malicious site(s) or fraudulent link(s), this has been one of the most commonly used strategies by unenthical hacker's. Come to think of it, don't this sound stupid to save 5 or more value worth of bitcoin on a computer without installing or correctly configurating anti virus software on your pc?
FYI, anti virus such as AVAST can automatically block your pc and run the spyware/virus detention if/when they suspect any website/link. Clicking on malicious link(s) are inevitable since, this are bound to occur occasionally when we are distracted especially by people who are incompetent or when friend's/family member's gain access to our computer.
Now, can you see why you have to do more than just avoiding to click on suspicious link?Instead, you need to configurate your pc to block any trojan,program's that will automatically install itself on your pc without your permission.
Thanks

Hacker are everywhere as these days there are many fake, phishing websites spreading. So we should be careful in opening a site that may hack your btc. Be cautious with dealing a site, be vigilant and be safe to protect your account.
there is some news circulating about hacker news.
I think this is true, and about the ico that has been hacked. they say it is under repair. but I'm still not sure, what is a strategy or just an alibi.
hopefully my thinking is not right.

Beware of clicking links. They could be a virus that someone have sendt you.

Some bitcoin users told me not to do transactions in these couple of days because hackers are active these days. I want to know is it true? or some kind of rumor? Anyone here who have faced such problem?
Hackers are active anytime as long as your account are not protected and your passcode hard to decrypt. Always practice precaution and avoid visiting and downloading malicious site with weird contents. I have not experience anything as such and hopefully not in the future.

You can keep your bitcoin safe by saving it into a hardcore wallet like trezor. Or simply into wallet that you are the one that is holding your private key to access your bitcoin because in that way there's no way that the hacker can hack your bitcoin because that is the safest way for storing bitcoin. 
I think not for now, hackers are always active anytime. we should be more aware of it because it will be very harmful to us. The tumor appears because at this time many new Ico are emerging
I agree, Hackers never sleep to find out about someone who could be used as a sacrifice so it's better to start from now to better make great security for your wallet.
You should always be vigilant in protecting your accounts and its content. Hackers are always active and always looking for ways to compromise your system and steal your money. Most of the time it is our own negligence that makes way for hackers to steal from us. We should not let that happen. Avoid fishy websites and click baits.
You should put all the money you have in your online wallet. Or just withdraw it to your bank account.
I think that is the savest thing to do right now. You should just be careful not to have to much bitcoins on the internet.

Hackers are always active. It never ceases to surprise me the sheer volume of attacks my that my businesses infrastructure servers face. These are nothing but normal web servers, storing nothing of importance. Yet there's bots that troll the internet looking for any system that has exploitable known vulnerabilities. Endlessly. I wonder if there's been any calculations of their cumulative bandwidth effects on overall IP traffic. Probably would be interesting to take a look at.
In any event, considering that is just for simple websites with nothing of value whatsoever, you should treat your crypto like it's gold, or fine pieces of artwork. Especially if you're doing any type of website or any business or service in the crypto space. You're basically painting a huge target on yourself that says, "ATTACK HERE".
I am preparing a venture for the crypto community that I hope is well-received. I know that security planning and implementation is absolutely paramount to our success.
