Topic: Trojan Wallet stealer be careful - page 10. (Read 50237 times)
Scary!
To protect my BTC wallet, I encrypt, backup then put it on a usb drive, unplug then delete the wallet from the bitcoin folder.
kind regards
Does this need to happen everytime you recieve or are expecting to receive funds? Or does the backup only need to be created once, (when you are happy with the btc addresses you have) just incase malware effects your pc and destroys the private keys?kind regards

I have one of those clear rubber keyboard protectors and thankfully I've not had a virus since I put it on.
Classic. Is it a trojan brand ?

Would this trojan be able to say...duplicate an address in my book then change the actual address leaving the label as-is (which ended up in me stupidly sending money to an unknown address 
)
My wallets encrypted and I store it on USB when not in use....have started a scan anyway on both the usb and the computer, will see what comes up.

Are there any good GUI interfaces for Wallet encryption on Linux?
I don't use Windows - It's always infested with malware
I have used Linux for a good 6 or 7 years

Is there a Mac version of the Trojan?
Yes. Google "DevilRobber" for one variant.
I will keep an eye out for this.

Don't own it then it cant be stolen 
like any investment don't buy a car you cant afford to repair and don't keep bit coins you cant afford to lose.
When you go to the ATM no many people pull out there life savings bit coins can be treated in the same way

Gotta stay safe
Downloading anything from an untrusted source is alway problematic. I have a couple of VMWare virtual machines setup that I use to test downloads before installing on my main machine. If your protection screams, it's only a click or two to delete the whole machine and restore the backup.
I write software and make it available on the web. I get emails all the time from people asking me if it's "safe". My advice is to treat the web like a gun...always assume it's loaded. There are ways to make downloading 99.9% foolproof.

Nice post ...very informative thanks to all that contributed. 
Warnings about any kind trojans are always welcome. So please keep us informed.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the warning!
And here I thought anyone oblivious enough to click on unknown exe attachments would have such a malware infested machine, it would barely be usable and wallet would have been hijacked long ago. How naive to think no one is really that mindless anymore.
New to this site.. But thanks for the warning
