There is a (new?) trojan wallet stealer out in the wild ATM.

Plenty of script kiddies and scammers are going to be trying to get you to download and install it, what's more they'll be putting posts to do so (using lies obviously).

Don't install anything linked to on this forum, unless it's been found by someone with a good reputation to be legit. Assume everything is an attempt to steal your wallet.

You should also encrypt your wallet when not in use.

Here is a portable apps version http://www.freeotfe.org/downloads/FreeOTFEExplorer_3_51.paf.exe

You have been warned.

Nefario

Your so right I will not download this in your link, how do we know its not a wallet stealer like you said.
I might have, had it been from a good rep member.

dont you guys use an antivirus Huh

??

Antivirus doesn't always help - it's best against widely distributed older viruses, but often would not help against specialized trojans.
Brain 1.0 is the best antivirus against most threats - it just does not work automatically, you need to explicitly use it.

Christ thats a lot to lose sorry.For the security experts out there whats the safest OS to use possible

No OS is safe... Because of the market though (windows has the biggest share in sales) the target of the exploits/viruses is the one that can spread the most. So windows is the most targeted OS. That being said it's a matter of preference really.

i agree to this. So before installing any application or software, always check for feedback about it or do a background research about it.

best hopes to you guys.

Default wallet place is in application data folder, to reach maximum safety. move your wallet to another place in your hard drive and don't download thirdparty files to make your wallet secure.

u shold never store $$$ on your hard drive, you hard knocks.

Try a brain wallet and use a few clues that you can use to help you remember the brain wallet and store it in several places.

That is a sure way to ensure that no one will ever steal your money.

my brain wallets are as hard as fort knox.

Here is one of my brain wallets. I feel no problem storing my real bit coins in there.

It is as hard as fort knox and it is not stored online or in my hard drive.

If you don't want moey to be stolen, tri using ur brain, dubm fuks.

Different OS doesn't matter that much (I can show you numerous documented security holes in popular Linux distros). What matters is how you care about your data being vulnerable. If you leave your wallet full of money in a car on the street, it doesn't really matter that much if it's an expensive Mercedes or a cheap Fiat: it may be stolen just by breaking the car's glass.

However, there are some uses for lowering the probability of getting hacked. For example, as an additional security measure, one could use a standalone laptop with a totally different OS and CPU (say, PowerBook with a PowerPC CP)U, so that email trojans which use Windows's software vulnerabilities won't work, plus no x86 code won't work because it's a PPC CPU.

Is the trojan only for Windows or need the rest of us be scared too? Embarrassed

In my opinion Ubuntu is safe for everything. ~~Nothing to be afraid of while using Ubuntu.~~

Who the hell told you this? Stop spreading shit that isn't true.

Yes, Ubuntu can be attacked too but it is safer than Windows. Sorry for not being clear and about the last line.

Much better

yes, it's safer, but of course you have to do your part as well to maintain the security posture. Now in terms of Trojans... I do think compiling from source is better is than installing a freaking executable... But from what I hear, it's pretty easy to hide a line of malicious code in the source files. Guess that's the risk we have to take

I recommend having wallet in virtualized computer and try new potentionally dangerous apps on regular pc (or vise versa)
