I Used Cracked Windows 10 Activated (download from internet) on my laptop, and installed Electrum wallet.

Is my wallet safe?

is there a spy on the cracked windows?
how do know that Cracked didn't inject malware and spyware, and send the data from my laptop to their server?

Probably fine, but you can never be sure and that would bother me enough to just buy Windows 10.

I'm not a gamer, but as far as I know, not all games can run on Linux. To do this, you need an application that all Linux lovers believe makes the system itself less secure. In general, Linux is not for games.

Game companies are slowly but surely optimizing for Linux; but if you like playing those lesser-known games by smaller companies, it'll be a pain in the ass to configure for it to work, or it'll simply not work.

But if we talk about the fact that you need to “bother” with Linux, then it will take a day or two to study at least a video on YouTube. To publish on the forum and work with wallets, such knowledge of Linux is quite enough. And later, you can discover something new in these convenient systems. Cheesy

Used Linux for almost a year back then; I don't even want to remember the amount of time I used trying to fix things.

Don't get me wrong — it's kinda fun and it's a good learning experience if you have the luxury of not having to need to have a 8-5 job, but for most people? Definitely not.

If you can't afford Windows KEY then find a free OS to download and use, Windows OS isn't the only one available, Linux OSs are free to use, you can do pretty much everything on Linux just like Windows OS, browse, install crypto wallets, etc and even Linux is more secured than Windows.

I’m just going to add: definitely don’t go with Linux if you’re not willing to tinker with stuff because some things have higher likeliness of breaking; especially when you’re a gamer.

You can buy legitimate CD keys on sites like eBay or somewhere else for a lot cheaper. Around $5-10 dollars if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't advise you to use a cracked version of windows or any cracked version software in a computer that you have your wallet installed. You need to ask yourself, why would someone crack up an app that it's supposed to cost you something just to make it free? Most pirated apps are infected with malware that can steal your sensitive information, crypto funds and also take control of your web cam. Please uninstall the cracked windows, go for a licensed windows or install Linux as it is a better alternative. It's free, open source and more secured.

You have done a wrong thing by installing a cracked copy of Windows 10 on your system. The ones who create cracks are experts at software engineering and reverse engineering and they can add malware, spyware, and any other virus in the crack easily. Most probably they add malware but in a way that's 100% undetectable by any available anti-virus program because the crackers know that the ones who use Windows OS are more likely to spend money online using credit cards and other stuff.

I believe that you wallet isn't safe at all, I recommend you to wipe out your entire drives and then install Linux based Distro that's freely distributed and doesn't need any kind of crack in order to activate it. The Linux is the safest operating system out there and anyone who uses Linux is far more safe than the ones who rely on Windows OS.

I know that most users like Windows OS because it's easily to use but these days there are many Linux distros that can be used be non-tech guys. The distros like Linux mint and Lubuntu are the ones that any user can use without much hassle. The best thing about Lubuntu is that it's less resource intensive and even runs of intel atom based laptops flawlessly.

OP, you can use a hacked system for a long time. The Internet is full of assemblies that people have put together for different needs. But there may come a time when you have to lose everything. And you will tell us that you have been using this system for years, and something went wrong. If your system is under the surveillance of hackers, they can simply wait for the right moment and not waste their time on small things, but wait for a big catch.

Another option is that many hacked systems are sold online as servers. Especially if your computer is powerful enough. Working from your IP, you may not know that, in parallel with you, someone is using your computer for their own needs and perhaps not doing exactly the right thing, and you will bear all responsibility after the incident since you provide access. Do you need such problems?

I don't know much about other Windows activators but I do know that the KMS activator which is a very popular windows activator is not safe, that's why windows defender will sometimes sees the KMS activator as a big threat..

It's full of many issues after installing on your PC, it can work for few days with no problem but later you will start getting some errors like

slui.exe ErrorCode

KMS error 0xc004f017

KMS error 0xc004f038

And the famous one is your virus detecting the r@1n error as a Trojan, I heard it's not safe because it's malware for for PC, some sources said it's hackers infecting PCs from users who aren't ready to buy a real Key and activate their OS, even if KMS activator is legit, hackers are now using it to get into peoples PC and their data..

If you can't afford Windows KEY then find a free OS to download and use, Windows OS isn't the only one available, Linux OSs are free to use, you can do pretty much everything on Linux just like Windows OS, browse, install crypto wallets, etc and even Linux is more secured than Windows.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

You will never know what is modified in the cracked version of your Windows and as said nobody is giving you the software for free, they always need something from you and that is why cracked and modded software are available for free.

Apart from that private version will not receive security updates which puts you at further security risks if there is some kind of malware and it needs to be patched via the security update.

So what you can do is make your cracked PC safer, my suggestion is gonna be different from what others suggested but it will work for you.

You can install a Virtual machine software like Oracle and then install Linux in it which is open source and free of cost.

And what you can achieve by doing this:

It's like running another device inside your Windows machine so anything installed inside the VM will not be affected by the malware of Windows such as your Bitcoin wallet, which you can also use to store sensitive information and it will be completely prone to malware which attacks windows.

It is more convenient for someone who is being a Windows user and can't afford two machines.

we cannot know whether a software is malicious even if in this case it is almost practically certain Roll Eyes

I would also add, is it really worth taking risks in such an activity? I would absolutely avoid something like that.

I point out the glacier protocol guide to fully understand the various implications on the security aspect and how many details must be checked on this topic. https://glacierprotocol.org/

Not really ideal to us cracked software reason why they are free is there are some modifications added in the software the creator of that modded application can now easily insert malware, or trojan most likely, and of course not having a good layer of security makes your device vulnerable if you are using that device with a lot of confidential information and related to money seems like you are the most valuable target from them if you can earn and have enough money to buy a legit one who not deal with it its for your safety. There no free in the internet, now will depends on you if you want to risk your information just to have free software or not.

You shouldn't use wallet in the same PC, mostly including full of malware and common attacks are keylogger (record and steal every key you type) clipboard (steal content you copy) and the most dangerous when you enter btc address to send payment malware will change btc address. I faced this issue so many time but fortunately lost only few bucks.

I will recommend to read this thread and you will know the world top site offering free crack software is stealing fund through malware

GETINTOPC BIGGEST SCAM SITE

also read reviews https://www.trustpilot.com/review/getintopc.com

May I inquire why you need cracked windows ? I am using windows without crack and didn't realize any need yet. I will recommend to spend 200$ for one additional Laptop and don't install any crack/ unknown publisher software in the PC you use for wallet transaction.

Pretty difficult to know if a cracked and modified Windows 10 has malware or not as they're not open-source. But one thing's for sure — it ain't worth risking. If you don't have a hardware wallet(which you should get by the way), at the very least use a mobile wallet. It's likely to be more secure than your personal desktop/laptop computer.

Never use cracked software. Never ever. If you are a normal user who doesn't do financial work in Windows or keep important documents, yeah, you can use crack. But it is still not advisable. But if you are a crypto user, obviously you are using bitcointalk, so you have knowledge of crypto. You shouldn't use crack. Who knows what kind of virus it contains?! And it's not that; Windows licenses are very expensive.

And activating Windows won't give you superpowers. You can almost use every feature without activating it. I have been using it without a license for years. I never faced any issues.

No.
Your wallet is not safe even with simple habits like using it on the same device that you browse on, if that device is a oireted copy then you can assume there are malwares or viruses on it.

You don't know. I will assume the worst that they did and not use electrum on that device.

Even if you were using a legitimate Windows with paid license, it still wouldn't be secure to use it as the OS for your bitcoin wallet. Windows by design is a spyware itself and from its inception it has always had a lot of backdoors some intentionally placed there by Microsoft!

Use Windows only if you have to, and use it for your watch only wallet or at least a hot wallet with very small amount of bitcoin (pocket change) and create your main wallet on an air gap system as cold storage.

Not the best thing to do as everyone here is preaching that you shouldn't download any crack softwares from the internet, specially Windows.

Maybe you can ran AV, and detect that there is malware or spyware. However, not all AV can detect a newly design or a variant of a recent malware or spyware. So you don't know if there is one in your system until it's too late.

So not sure what you are trying to proved here.

Did you notice that you had to disable your Windows Defender to move the crack file? Some of these crack patches contain viruses and malware. We don't know if this spyware collects your data or not. It's not wise to use these cracks and financial software in the same OS. You can easily find cheap activation keys online. Windows has some resellers who sell those keys very cheaply. It's between $5 to $20 in Bangladesh. It is not worth taking such a risk for this amount. It's only if you are a Windows lover and you are friendly with this OS. Or you can move to Linux for better security.

Windows has many spywares that you don't want to use if you are seriously with security. It is about licensed Windows.

You did a worse practice by using a Cracked Windows. You will have to use crack tools that are other risks for your PC security.

When your PC OS is unsecured, Electrum wallet can not help you to store your bitcoin safely.

If you want free OS, use Linux Mint. https://linuxmint.com/

It's really not advisable to get pirated windows online; those who crack the windows are not running charity, and it's believed that they don't leave without infecting it with malware. One of the most common malwares for cracked windows is the Clipboard virus, which is among many that can be found on cracked devices, and some malware can't even be detected on your device.

You can start by checking if your PC is affected by the clipboard virus. Maybe try to copy and paste a wallet address, either bitcoin or any popular crypto address, and see if it will change to another address, as that's the most common way that the clipboard virus works.

For the main time, if you don't have any funds in your wallet yet, I will advise you to get a new OS from a licenced dealer in order to be sure of what you are using and reduce the security risk that you are taking.
