Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: tterrorpipa on January 23, 2019, 12:50:56 AM 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.

Everyone should be really aware of this.

contact for FUD keylogger to put with graphical picture with the GUI for service similar to GUI wallet log sent to FTP hosting page. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: c2Gin on January 23, 2019, 04:24:27 AM For those who torrent files, an instance of the "Cozybear" malware was found in a download.

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. contact for FUD keylogger to put with graphical picture with the GUI for service similar to GUI wallet log sent to FTP hosting page. But i guess most of the downloaders contain the malware. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: Baofeng on January 23, 2019, 04:41:29 AM 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. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: batang_bitcoin on January 23, 2019, 05:10:29 AM 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. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: florac9 on January 23, 2019, 06:14:35 AM Damn I'm a fan of torrent downloading but I don't just download anyhow ,I always download from trusted source like yts but thanks for the warning I will be careful more
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: jessyj48 on January 23, 2019, 07:03:55 AM 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
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: ccsang on January 23, 2019, 09:14:56 AM 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.

Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: aoluain on February 02, 2019, 09:11:29 AM It also depends what you download, IMO music files and movie files are
fine. Its the program files which contain many other files which are loaded when the program is executed that are very risky. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: KryptoKai on February 02, 2019, 09:24:12 AM Downloading exe files from a torrent site is very risky, even if it's an expensive product like adobe or a game it shouldn't be done. Not all anti-virus applications are able to stop them so you shouldn't rely on them to protect your coins.

Which commonly being use by hackers and perpetrators,we really need to be more extra careful doing our activities online, since this topic has been tackle and potential threat are already there, downloading now with torrent site should be sort carefully, the value of our assets is in stake we have to protect our hard earned money, need to seriously take this and do every precautions that we can to keep our money safe.Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: Levyathan on February 02, 2019, 09:39:36 AM Even torrent which works like the tor network can be hacked, it means that nothing in this world is secure. Be sure to secure your funds from hackers.
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: ranman09 on February 02, 2019, 09:41:14 AM This is why I check files on the torrent download folder before I proceed the download. I wait for the folders to show-up and then it should be all I need. I pause the download for files that I'm not familiar with. Especially crack folders.
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: Luke NY on February 02, 2019, 10:29:30 AM To download unfamiliar torrent files, I scan them for security, and then the decision to download is made. Be careful about these things.
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: Altryist on February 02, 2019, 10:44:21 AM To download unfamiliar torrent files, I scan them for security, and then the decision to download is made. Be careful about these things. I think that those wishing to use such methods will become more and more common with time, and the more popular the cryptocurrency is, the more popular the more often we will hear about it. You must always be careful, and even better for a torrent to have a separate laptop that is not used for work, then you can get around this point. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: wxganz on February 04, 2019, 07:19:38 PM Thank you for this warning! A lot of malware and miners been found in torrent files last years. As a community, we have to keep other people

I think torrent is kinda different from cryptos. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: Tramle091296 on February 04, 2019, 08:07:30 PM Yes Indeed. thats why when downloading torrents file much better if you save file on seperate hardisk or sites that will surely secured your wallet and avoid pishing / or lose you wallet.
But even its not on torrent just always be secure interms of wallet there are many sites that has a virus also created to hack wallets. Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: dewildance on February 04, 2019, 08:14:33 PM Unfortunately, the use of torrent always has similar hazards. Every computer that has Cryptocurrencies traded needs to be protected from such activities. A good antivirus project maybe makes ICO and it works.
Title: Re: Warning to torrent downloaders Post by: AgentZero23 on February 04, 2019, 08:24:48 PM Thanks for the heads up. Thank goodness, when downloading movies and TV series I don't use torrent anymore. I'm aware that some torrent files could be infected with viruses and disguise as malware. Some malware could steal information like passwords and private keys and the next thing you know your digital assets are gone in your wallet.
