Title: Anyway to head off trojans and worms that target the Wallet.dat file? Post by: niemivh on June 14, 2011, 11:10:41 PM I'm sure there are a number of people concocting various malware that can steal people's wallets.
Even the theft of 0.5% of just general user's wallets would create a large scale panic and greatly devalue BTC in addition to halting further adoption. It might even cause a 'run' on BTC crashing the price to below mining costs, which would be devastating for the Bitcoin infrastructure. Just voicing a concern, I'm sorry, but I'm not a programmer. |
