Not only bitcoin and ethereum, but some airdrop also requires us to download the wallet to get their coin.
So be careful and make sure your antivirus always active.

I hope that it would help people to know that they need to stay away from suspicious links that they get from the internet because not all links can give what they search. But the links seems strange for me and I don't click the links as many of us are aware of the links. I don't want to get scam by clicking the strange links because I already got the bad experience in the past.
It's the truth. Unfortunately now there are a lot of scammers who try to lure your bitcoins in all possible ways. Thank you for telling us about this. Be careful, friends.
Good info, thanks for you sharing at here. I have been suspicious if there is a giveaway event by installing for giving or regulations or KYC and so on, it must be watched out if there are requirements that burden crypto users.
thank you for sharing this information to us, this is warning to those who like to join giveaways or the airdrops that requires installing softwares to get the tokens or earning passive from the software.
Hackers are now using several websites to push their fake bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) giveaway programs, according to a Bleeping Computer report on May 26, 2019.
Per sources close to the matter, hackers are now promoting a fake “Bitcoin Collector” scam promising users $5 to $30 worth of free bitcoins when they run the program.
In reality, the primary aim of the malware, which is disguised as a cryptocurrency giveaway program, is to install ransomware or phishing trojans on the victim’s computer.
Reportedly, the scheme was first discovered by a malware researcher with the moniker, Frost. Specifically, the operation is promoted through sites that promise to reward users with ether and bitcoin when they refer others to visit the platform. They state in their FAQ page that when a person refers 1,000 visitors with their referral link, they’ll earn three ether.

There are always dangers on things that are too good to be true, and this is one of the proof, people should be careful on doubler hyip and ponzi scheme that is now targetting the cryptocurrency community, especially these newbies that are very easy to fall, without doing any research if it is legal or not.
This is inevitable and it can happen at any time especially when BTC currently increase right this moment.
For me, I'm already activate 2FA while using online wallet or when using offline wallet, I try to scan my PC first and update into newest version.
I'm also not quick interest / trust any giveaways nowadays actually so I can prevent hacking happening

Thanks for this information, I hope this will help people not to become a victim of hackers. We all need to be more careful, especially with the "free distribution of cryptocurrency." My friend once encountered something similar.
This can bring awareness not to be victimized by this kinds of trick, hackers will do everything in order to penetrate with your system, once being caught unguarded you won't be able to overcome those hackers but just to look at your assets being sucked or being compromise.Self awareness is very important, keep yourself being updated to assure protecting your investment.
Although I participate in bounties, I never install something on my computer, because it is too risky. I suggest to run virtual machine in case you need something to be installed

This is very dangerous if we enter the site. So now for those of you who like to participate in airdro in particular, maybe don't ever install on the device you are using. This is very useful information and in the future we may have to be careful to do things that can make a loss to ourselves.

If you are clicking a link found from random internet page or through any groups then think twice that it is secured or fake or better to have security which can restrict those ransomware links from our device.

Thanks for the information provided, actually most of the time is people greedy, all of them want the "free" cryptocurrency, don't become a victims anymore because there's no such thing as a free lunch, it is impossible to get something for nothing, anyway computer security is important than nothing.
We should all unite against hackers and scammers for it will help make the crypto market stronger, reliable and permanent. We all know that the crypto market is wearing backlash just because of scammers and hackers. In a case of this bounty programme being run by hackers, we should discourage them by not participating in it, and we should expose them to the world.
This is a good sign. If scammers are active, then they believe that the hype is growing. And in this they can be trusted

Thank you so much for the post, we need to spread this all over the crypto sphere so that all this newbies that keep falling into the hands of scammers will stop immediately, I always laugh when I see people fall for this kind of scam, telling you to click on a link and you will be given some amount of money, for basically doing nothing, but one thing they fail to know is that there is no free money anywhere, anything a person does is always for a reason, once we begin to have this understanding, we would not fall into scam.

Newbies and investors should start believing that nothing in crypto world is for free ,if you aren't working for it then its a scam ,don't fall victim for luring offers
I stoped paticpate different airdrops long ago and looks that was a great idea) IMHO for airdrops and bounties you need separate your pc or smartphone to avoid such problems. All private keys must be safe in another place)

I guess the scammer will always use the same trick and when someone doesn't care about anylink and never try ti click it and they will be fine. Three ether for 1k visitor and only stupid person that can be fooled by that stupid hacker, I never try to click any suspicious link or even follow any crap promotion trick like that and so far i still safe.
