the 48.5 bitcoin guy was a fool downloading a fake electrum wallet from a fake website!

It happens all the time. A few days back, I came across a thread here in Bitcointalk. It was about a guy who got BTC10,000 stolen from his Blockchain.info wallet, as he didn't enabled 2FA. The thread was from 2013, and back then BTC was worth only around $10 per coin. But imagine what he could have done, if he had all those coins now.

WHAT?

10000 BTC, he could be a Millionaire now if his coins hadn't been stolen. All his hard work gone with the wind, hopes he recover from that.

Haha, I don't mourn for him, because he not keep safe his funds when have a huge amount Bitcoin in Blockchain.info. Always use third wallet need use 2FA or other choice hacker can attack or rob it. As me in first time I know Bitcoin, although my wallet just have 10k satoshi but I still use use 2FA

Hackers are present everyone but i dont think they are active these days because i did not see any scam in present. Yes, they are sending spam emails to hack our credit cards, paypal, etc but it depends on us to respond or not. I am getting hundreads of such spam mails each day but now i know which is real and which is a scam. Just try to check the url of the website to make sure you are on the correct platform.

Yes it is true that hackers are very active these days but there are threads here saying that it is now safe to do Bitcoin transactions. Just be more careful and avoid suspicious links because they might be phishing sites and don't easily trust when someone offers you and investment opportunity. Make your own research first.

Hackers are always on the lookout for opportunities to flex their muscles. The recent events in the bitcoin world could bring out more of them but if you are a vigilant user who reads the specific instructions on how to go about what just transpired, I think you are in good hands. The ones who get victimized often are those who act first before thinking and planning what needs to be done.

As the thread describes hackers will be more active to use this as an opportunity to enter into the network and tray to hack the accounts of users and transfer huge funds in terms of bitcoin and bitcoin cash. It's good for us to keep it in a much secure manner.

We have to be careful all the time because scammers and hackers don't know how to sleep either during the day and much more so during the night. They can be anywhere and if I am right there can be so many even in this forum...they are just like vultures that are always ready to strike anytime they see a good opportunity to exploit.

Scammers and hackers are people who are making money out of their skills by victimizing people and the more people they can suck of their money the happier they can be.

So beware...be aware...or cry a river!

Are you really afraid of transaction because of the hackers,then you wont be able to send anything online Tongue

,the reason for not sending transaction within the first week is simply because we just had an upgrade and to be on the safe side and as a precaution most are waiting for a week or two and it is not because of any hackers. Cheesy

Well, hackers are always active and are spread all over the world. To be exact they are everywhere, you won't know when do they attack or if they will attack. As we have an new altcoin now, its not impossible that they will attack that will be shocked to everyone who are always update to bitcoin but for those who has no idea surely it will go the news like the wannacry ransomware but I do think that is there will be one someone will actually will stop them or nothing will happen its just a rumor.

Not only "this couple of days".
Hackers are everywhere and always active. And suddenly came out of nowhere.

So we have to be more careful everytime we do a transactions.
As for transaction, it's working fine on my end.
Just make sure you double checks everything.

either they said it wrong or you misunderstood them.
there is nothing wrong with making transactions. for example if you had a bitcoin wallet in cold storage and have been safe so far, you are still safe. nothing has changed and hackers have been active all along.

the only thing different is when you are trying to use a new thing. in this case the bitcoin cash wallets. there are a lot of sleazeballs who will take this opportunity to scam. like by giving you a fake wallet with backdoor. just be careful what you download and where you are downloading it from.

Lots of fake websites
Lots of bad backdoored programs and e-mail fishing scams
If you visit a website check the address to make absolutely sure your on the real website.
Trust no one!

Some guy just started a thread claiming he was scammed out of $150,000 worth of Bitcoins...

He was trying to get Bitcoin Cash and downloaded a .exe file from an unknown website which he thought was an Electrum wallet.

Turns out it was malware and shortly after, his 48.5 Bitcoins disappeared. Shocked

Many hackers use bitcoin because it is an easy payment tool. Because it is the best current technology with tools for payments on the Internet that need to cross the continent is a blockchain technology that is Bitcoin.

A number of wallet robberies are going on. People are moving their coins from paper wallets to exchange wallets and vice-versa, in order to claim the BCH. Hackers are noticing these transactions and trying to exploit them.

Hackers has never been inactive. If you got caught by hacker, the fault is yours for being not extra carefull by clicking malicious links or by visiting websites that could lead in getting private info. Although the act has been done by hacker, they won't get any info if you become extra carefull in the internet.

just be careful when downloading installer wallet, check download source and antivirus active its recommended. nothing 100% system secure.
Many backdoored programs outside there, i had bad experience last year, when installing backdoor trojan, its not easy to scanning and removing it. I suggest not to saving your financial infos into 1 computer, save backup wallet & some notepad on usb,

Hackers are always active they're just waiting the perfect time to attack. In which such cases like these, When people are panicking due to the split last August 1. Some users *we can't blame them since it's part of our human nature* easily attracted to transfer their coins in any way possible. I already saw a thread here that claiming he lost a huge amount coins because of the wallet he downloaded from a site which I think is dummy site of a knowned wallet. It's better to be more cautious and as of the moment don't trust anyone. Do your own research about what is happening, and don't rely much on other people.
