I won't and never download torrent in my own computer from unknown torrent source link, especially the title mention is free/crack/giveaway, just do it in vmware to protect your computer security if you're crypto investor, remember the easy way to steal people sensitive information is keylogger virus and I recommend install popular antivirus software.

I never like torrent downloading because they easily get your pc infected with viruses and you won't see it coming until you use WinZip or winrar to extract the file before you know what you got ,thanks for the info I will tell my friends they are torrent freaks

I don't download torrent files.

But make sure that whatever you download see to it that it came from reliable source. There are people that puts malware to these downloadable files so they can have a look to your files and can have an entry to your computer.

Yes, I read this news couple of days ago and I'm not surprised though, this crypto currency thingy has been out of proportions and there are people who take advantage of it to steal someone's coin in any method they can think of.

Another moral lesson here: Don't download anything just for the sake of getting it free. You just don't know how much damage it can inflict to you in the future.

at least the virustotal would not define the threat as virus or keylogger.
contact for FUD keylogger to put with graphical picture with the GUI for service similar to GUI wallet
log sent to FTP hosting page.

That's indeed but this to make sure the possibility to get infected by the malware. it's better rather than put ourselves into the risk by download a file through use a downloader that contains the malware.
But i guess most of the downloaders contain the malware.

For those who torrent files, an instance of the "Cozybear" malware was found in a download.

This is a reminder to the community to keep their torrenting separate from where they store their online wallets.

the internet seems to become very frightening to me now, Imagine that you did bounties the whole year in able to get some crypto because you can't afford to buy then ended uphaving your earnings been stolen because of this kind of hackers gimmicks. Everyone should be really aware of this.

Thank you for the warning. I agree with you. The investor and also the holders of the tokens especially to those who have a high value already must separate their device to a more private and secure device to ensure no possible loss of tokens from hacking attempt.
