The only problem is it has to be done right. Say you use a newer printer and it's compromised.... you could lose it through there. Rare yes but not impossible. The dumber the printer the better, also if you print a wallet might look into how to clear cache on your printer.

Power it off?

I dont know about you guys but I have a normal printer that prints only. Not with wireless crap and other stuff that has attack vector.

I just power off the printer, and the cache clears, because it doesnt have memory card and things like that.

Also storage of that paper wallet is key. Best is stored on a piece of paper in a place such as a bank safty deposit box. Don't upload it to the clouds or anything or you defeat the entire purpose of it.

Wow storing it in a bank, how logical is that.

We all use bitcoin because we dont want to use banks, but theN you say just put the access to the bitcoin wallet into the bank. That makes sense....

Even SMS verification won't help when the hacker have the private key of yours. He can open that wallet in any PC without any verification at all.

For to prevent to hack your wallet i think you need a two factor authentication or sms verification for every login to make sure that you are the only can open your wallet.. or you may try also cold storage of electrum and make sure you save your seed and password and some important thing like default_wallet.dat save anywhere in your computer that you think its safe..

Always Remember, as long as you have 2FA enabled there will be few little chances of your account being hacked.

I am not that much in BTC , but I am in technology , I am using other sites with 2FA, you can get burned if you try to setup 2FA in an infected machine. The hacker can see that one time key needed for manual entry to disable your 2FA, so I insist that you do the setup of your 2FA in a PC you are 1000% sure it is not infected with anything.

I keep seeing all these posts that someone can hack my wallet. First I did not think that this could be done? If it can be done, how can I prevent it from happening? Does my wallet need to be online in order for them to be able to hack it or can they still hack a paper wallet?

No one can hack a paper wallet, but if you keep your bitcoin at a webite that holds the private keys then yes you could lose the bitcoin. the bitcoin is not yours unless you hold the private keys......

If your actively going to be using it look into hardware wallets keeping the signing of transactions on them where eve if computer is compromised your coins should be safe.

Can you get malwares and keylogers if you downloading movies via torrents?

Sure, maybe not in a video file, but there might be an executable involved.

Will antivirus react on it?

Maybe.

Quote from: arbitrage on February 01, 2016, 08:38:05 AM

Someone have experience with this?

No, I havent pirated something in years. It was however common that pirated material had viruses with the files, esp. for programms or games and cracks or key generators for those. Most viruses are made for Windows, but this is changing as Linux and Mac are more and more common.

Its recommended not to use online wallets like blockchain.info because the website has been DDos's by hackers multiple times.You could never know if your funds are totally safe there.Its very tough for the hacker or say impossible to hack a cold storage.If you use bitcoin core or electrum,secure your funds ,keep the private key safe,maybe paper wallet.There are no chances of hacker getting any access to them.Plus you store the keys away from your computer.

The revolution will be monetized!

The important difference is that bitcoin is not hacked (I assume you mean cracked).
There will always be creative deviants who figure out a way to get to some wallets. They may trick you into revealing your private keys or place a keylogger that watches and waits for you to enter a password. Or someone could beat you with a hose until you tell them the password. Undecided

Well i don't think it's that much easy to hack someone's wallet, but if it happens then not usually, maybe once in a blue moon you know what i mean.
I never heard someone saying to me that his/her wallet has been hacked, and that proves that it only happens to some people unfortunately.

Yes those keyloggers are worse than anything and you can get it by clicking on links,
also here on this forum we have lot of scammers training to get your account and rob your coins.. Angry

use zemana for simple keylogger, it hide yourkeystroke, pretty convenient

for keylogger that take screen or stuff like that you need soemthing else, but i think the full version of zemana can handle all of them

I had been quite safe to use wallet Blockchain.info and add security use Google Authenticator (2FA).
if you always play altcoins trading and download a wallet, be careful there is usually some viruses such as keylogger or other dangerous viruses

The most used way by hackers is that they install a keylogger on your computer through software that you have downloaded somewhere. If you login to your wallet, all the keys u clicked will be sent to them, also your password and wallet information. So they login and steal your coins, as easy as that.
Another way would be brute force, to prevent this from happening, you need a strong password with much charachters and special numbers/symbols and uppercase and lowercase. To prevent keylogging, do not download anything fishy or from a non reliable source!

Don't forget that Microsoft has installed a keylogger in Windows 10.

Wow i don't know that microsoft has installed keylogger in windows 10. Actually it's easy to prevent hacker, don't download something that suspicious and download anti malware and spyware.

that's scary, I bought a new laptop with Windows 10, made my first few paper wallets there Sad

As far as I know Microsoft added telemetry spying functionality to their older systems: Vista, 7, 8 via Microsoft Updates are not safe anymore.
Currently probably only Windows XP is free from spying eyes of Microsoft but that is because this system is ancient.
But then again, stop worrying about Microsoft, they are not gonna steal your money. Be sure to not install unknown software or visit strange sites instead.

I`m not so sure about that, if it's in the shadows, and bitcoin gets big, they can easily steal money, and blame it on hackers. Or one of their rogue employees starts stealing.

Or even if they not, any hacker can just hijack their keylogger systems and steal that way, either way it stinks badly.

Yes, that is true. Microsoft is gathering telemetry data and know everything you do on your Windows 10. Win 10 has keylogger build in by default, you can however try to disable it by using various 'no spy addons'.
But if you own bitcoin I would not be worried about Microsoft, they won't steal your bitcoins, they just like to spy on you.

so that means Linux and android operating systems are safer than microsoft products
e.g . Microsoft windows 10
