I recommend you buy a good anti virus like Norton or Kaspersky. IMO linux is an overkill if you haven't used it before. It's a bit more secure but you sacrifice some of the looks of windows and its compatibility with different programs and games. I also find windows much easier to use, more user-friendly. Ultimately it comes down to your cyber hygiene, not the OS that you're using. If you download infected files from the web, click on phishing links and carry data from other computers on USB drives, you will get data breaches sooner or later, regardless of what OS you decide to use.
I assume you know all these things, but haven't turned them into habits yet. As cruel as it may sound, being hacked is a great wake up call. My friend got all his data encrypted by malware and that was his time to start being more careful. Most people don't use any security until they get shit stolen.  

I do not want to offend you, but if you do not understand something, it does not mean at all that it is superfluous. Given what people advise the OP, it is the absence of various programs and games that is desirable for a computer that conducts financial activities. Other than that, you won't believe how beautiful and convenient Linux can be, unlike Windows. It also has graphics to create a pleasant interface, although most of its users hardly need them.

Thanks for the tips. I think for simple desktop users these virus is really not good and can really deceived them. Not all are proficient to execute those of you suggested to avoid this kind of malicious files. So the safest way is always check what you download online cause with a simple site, it could ruin your asset once he able to set up those click baits.


Maybe this will help you a little with the settings. Smiley

Thats a strong malicious virus, I think monitoring ones activity is common but the ability to steal passwords and phrase, is that can be done for example there are saves files on his folders? Or only if he can sees the activity where the phrases are been look up into?

Is there any news of this fraudulent in apps and mobiles already or only on pcs and laptops? Thanks Op this is a great news another one to avoid.

At one time, I studied how these viruses are created and hidden, and the fact that they can create the most common screenshots and instantly send these screenshots in stealth mode to a hacker is already dangerous. In another case, I think a hacker can set up surveillance specifically for certain applications in order to receive a signal in time when the user opens it. On the internet, this virus quietly spreads in free mode on specific subject forums Smiley (there is a simple guide to creating it), the task manager on Windows rarely detects it, and it is because of this that you must always monitor what and where you download. The best option would be to install a virtual machine, if necessary, download something, and also use a sandbox so that if malware enters, it is deleted when the application is closed.

Anyway, suit yourself.

Some need more than one lesson. If a person is forced to be public, and this is exactly what a manager is on the forum, then he is forced to communicate with people. Anyone the OP considers a "friend" can send him a link containing malware, and once again the OP will be trapped. But yes, all his contacts are visible since 2017 and this Facebook account is not new in his today's display.
2145  Other / Meta / Re: Why are account farmers still left to roam free in the forum? on: January 12, 2023, 05:52:36 AM
I know that it is not prohibited but they should be hunted down and negative tagged to stop such activities.
So what do you think about how to stop such account selling activity, Do you have any ideas?

So far, account sellers and accounts that are known to change hands are most likely marked with negative tag, that is the consequence of not being liked by forum users. But as you can see, they are also unstoppable despite being hunted and tagged with negative tag. The basic rule is, "account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged".

Quote
18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

Marking with a negative tag is also a big question today. Not everyone agrees that an account should be tagged if it's not causing any harm. But this is of course not entirely fair, as among the newcomers there are people who are desperately trying to move up in rank, just like purchased accounts, with the goal of participating in the future in subscription companies, but they are honestly working to raise the rank.
Here is the last case with a purchased or hacked account, as you can see, the owner himself did not answer the question asked whether he was bought or is the real owner. And the neutral review that appeared in him still does not raise objections from him.
Someone here wants to use a red paint gun?

2148  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: A new godfather virus for android that steals data from cryptocurrency applicati on: January 11, 2023, 02:31:39 PM
Thank you for this information senior but I do have some few questions
~ Does this virus affect all country?
~what countries does it affect if it doesn't affect all countries?
~ is it just android devices that is been affected?

This criminals are really doing a great job and it seems they are also evolving with the world as well and I've also heard stories of possible scams through keyboards and most times this malwares comes in form of notifications that requires acceptance.

I think people need more of sensitization on cyber security and how to stay save especially in this world where is online criminals aren't relenting as well.

If you carefully read the article, after the modification, this virus is mainly aimed at the inhabitants of the United States, and countries such as Canada, Germany, Spain and Turkey are also affected. Although, if we judge that we live on the Internet, the virus can be exchanged in other countries. To calm down that someone lives in another country, I think it's not worth it. It is good that you understand that Internet safety information requires regular awareness. But still, monitoring all the news, and also in the absence of timely news, the device's owner must be careful. Using the phone that was first in your hands, without a previous owner, and limiting the installation of applications, as well as controlling the links you follow, should be familiar. By installing all the decorations and seeming conveniences in your phone, you can expose it to the risk of a virus and control over your device.

Quote
According to the cybersecurity firm, the United States, Turkey and Spain account for the highest number of trojan or ‘Godfather’ malware activities. Canada, France, Germany and the UK are also hotbeds for the trojan, Group-IB said.

Additionally, the cybersecurity firm noted the ‘Godfather’ malware attacked users in 16 countries last year. These attacks affected 215 banking apps, 94 crypto wallets and 110 cryptocurrency exchange platforms.

Moreover, Group-IB in its report said the ‘Godfather’ malware code has an interesting functionality that prevents it from attacking users located in Russian-speaking and former Soviet Union countries. This suggests that the creators of the virus are from Russia or one of the former Soviet states, the cybersecurity firm said.

“The emergence of Godfather underscores the ability of threat actors to edit and update their tools to maintain their effectiveness in spite of efforts by malware detection and prevention providers to update their products,” Artem Grischenko, a Junior Malware Analyst at Group-IB, noted.

As we all know as we ended the year 2022, it safe to say any one who has been involved in crypto will not miss the departing year, but may be quietly optimistic that 2023 can as Bitcoin is a global cryptocurrency used in digital market.
We can expect, perhaps a bumpin positive thinking as the new year rolls around, and predict that there are several development and trends likely to emerge or continue throughout 2023 if you deal with Bitcoin. In the Economy market of cryptocurrency u as well can buy at a cheaper price and sell it. And believe me u will benefit greatly as Bitcoin rules the crypto market.

Over time we may simply be left talking about Bitcoin (which will continue to stand distinct as the primary and most credible new form of money) web3 ( which equates to other, smart contact oriented consumer uses of fungible crypto) and digital collectibles ( which refers to non fungible crypto assess).. so Bitcoin is becoming a hot arbitrage among cryptocurrency traders and investors. So it will be best if all citizens go into cashless economy.

Resesi merupakan istilah yang mengacu pada kondisi penurunan drastis dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi, terutama pada negara. Selain itu, resesi juga erat kaitannya dengan krisis ekonomi, di mana pertumbuhan ekonomi terus mengalami penurunan berturut-turut. Menurut pengalaman ane atau teori ekonomi ane pribadi, resesi atau krisis dapat terjadi akibat suatu wabah atau perang besar yang menyebabkan kondisi global menjadi hancur.

Sebelum memutuskan untuk memilih Bitcoin sebagai aset investasi dalam menghadapi resesi, Anda sebelumnya mengkaji performa aset Bitcoin berdasarkan pada krisis sebelumnya, yaitu pandemi COVID-19.

Performa Bitcoin Selama Masa Pandemi COVID-19
Mayoritas hasil penelitian tersebut cenderung mengungkapkan bahwa masih terjadi pertumbuhan harga yang positif pada Bitcoin (2.71%-3.27%), Ethereum (1.43%-1.75%), Litecoin (3.2%-3.84%), dan Bitcoin Cash (1.34%-1.62%).

Kalau menurut Ane Investasi Kripto Aman dengan Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), salah satu teknik investasi paling populer untuk mengurangi risiko aset-aset volatile seperti mata uang kripto. DCA mudah dilakukan oleh siapa saja, terutama untuk investor pemula yang menginginkan return cukup tinggi dalam periode waktu investasi jangka panjang (lebih dari 1 tahun).

2150  Economy / Reputation / Re: Campaign managers acting as Escrow on: January 11, 2023, 08:18:39 AM
after the FTX collapse, Binance and CMC launched reserves as an additional parameter for liquidity exchanges. Maybe we could have a similar condition here, the escrow must have a certain amount of reserves as a guarantee.
Even with such measures, a lot of things could still go wrong that would jeopardize the escrow. For starters, what if they got into an accident, got robed, or worse, died? These may seem far fetched but it can happen.
And if such condition is applied here, as yahoo already mentioned, probably only one or two users in this forum would qualify. If all funds from various bounty campaigns, signature campaigns are poured into them, they could easily be targeted not just online but in real-life as well. Quite scary when you think about it.

I was also disappointed when I read this news yesterday, and this is o e of the early big hack/scam story for the new year 2023.
Yep, but still, nothing beats this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432665.0


It sounds like an excuse.  But I don't think that saying that it can happen to everyone is applicable here. Accidents on the road occur as well, sometimes due to the fault of both the pedestrian and the driver. But the biggest fault lies with the driver when he has a weapon in his hands that can lead to the death of people because the driver himself does not know the rules of driving.
I think you can understand it.
2151  Economy / Reputation / Re: I've been hacked (Electrum 4.3.2) on: January 11, 2023, 07:31:41 AM



Thanks for the tips. I have no other reason for using Google Chrome other than being used to it since I started working online way before I entered crypto-space. I guess it never crossed my mind how vulnerable I am using it.

A bunch of wacky scripts were found by my current AV, forgot the names 'cause I just immediately let the AV settle it. I will now wipe my system and install a new one.

I assume OP was/is using the same windows PC for browsing, downloading stuffs, holding funds, etc. which is not recommended at all. Too many malwares across the internet (smarter than your antivirus), you click a simple link and wont even know what problems are waiting for you ahead.
Unfortunately Yes. While I have another device, it's a Chromebook that's used by my wife. It doesn't necessarily support the Apps I required to run the bounty campaign management service. So I'm stuck with my one and only PC.


God, what are we talking about? Guilty or not? I asked the OP if he was an advanced computer user . According to all the responses, julerz12 does not understand the entire concept of network security. And unfortunately, you can feel sorry for him, but knowing his level of attitude toward other people's funds, I would not trust him in the future.
Using Windows for surfing and keeping money on a shared computer is just careless. It doesn't matter that you were the only user; you need to separate your general life from your financial one. A lot of people think, like, "This won't happen to me." But, alas, it's only a matter of time.


Those are all reasons to Support the Type 1 Newbie Warning Flag. It doesn't matter that it's not fraud. You call it an accident, I call using hot wallets for large funds an accident waiting to happen.

I only recently read another article about the  RAT, despite recalling it yesterday; a hacker can wait for a convenient time, and that time has come. Speaking of  RAT, this is not an unfounded opinion; it is enough to download a supposedly useful plugin for Photoshop, and that's it; you are already in sight, thinking that you downloaded from the right source.

P.S.  Some people will tell you to stop using Windows...  I don't care what you use for an operating system, no OS will save you from yourself.

2152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Hackers hide malware in fake NFT game on: January 11, 2023, 05:42:30 AM
Another discovery of fraudulent activities was made by Korean specialists from AhnLab. The game is distributed through phishing sites or through a mailing list; it is a simple Pokémon NFT card game. After installing the game, RAT, a computer remote control virus, is installed on the victim's computer, which ultimately allows hackers to fully monitor all the victim's actions, including stealing passwords and seed phrases.

Quote
Hackers have been using a fake NFT game claiming to be Pokémon-branded to spread malware to unsuspecting users, according to cybersecurity firm AhnLab. The phishing website, which is still active at the time of writing, appears to offer a legitimate NFT marketplace and the option to buy tokens and stake NFTs based on the popular Japanese media brand. However, users who download the site's content are actually installing a remote access program called NetSupport Manager that gives hackers control over their device
https://metaverse.sg/nft-news/fake-pokemon-nft-game-distributes-malware

The remote control can be configured as the most common process on Windows, which the user will never mistake for malicious, which also applies to antivirus software, although some completely refuse to detect it.

As a result, the simple truth rings again: do not open anything on the Internet, do not open attachments from strangers, and start self-education on Linux systems in order to completely abandon leaky Windows.
2153  Economy / Scam Accusations / A new godfather virus for android that steals data from cryptocurrency applicati on: January 11, 2023, 05:16:58 AM
The new year began with another discovery of viruses aimed at stealing cryptocurrencies.

Although the Trojan was discovered in 2021, it was not finalized then. At this time, the virus can read SMS in the victim's phones, thereby bypassing two-factor authorization.

Quote
The new malware was designed to collect user data, and it is targeting primarily banking and cryptocurrency applications. Once it infects a device, the malware begins to display fake websites of regular banking and crypto apps in order to steal the login data of users. BaFin revealed that the malware is targeting around 400 banking and crypto apps, including those operating in Germany.

We also know that Godfather relies on push notifications to obtain two-factor authentication codes, and that cybercriminals can use this data to gain access to consumers’ accounts and wallets.

@icopress went for it and pulled the trigger.
 I am not sure that was the appropriate action to take here.





If you check julerz12's trust lists, the only user that doesn't trust him is icopress. Probably there were other incidents that led icopress to such conclusions. But as for the negative tag, it will not affect the decision of the managers in any way, in case julerz12 decides to participate in the subscription company. It's just that all managers are already aware of what happened, and one way or another, only they decide whether to accept this user or not. It has already been said many times that a negative mark can easily change in the event of a positive outcome. In the end, this is only a minimum compared to what those who actually lost money experienced. After all, everyone will agree that other people's money can never be compared with their own. And julerz12 lost other people's money, which one hurts more?
2156  Economy / Reputation / Re: I've been hacked (Electrum 4.3.2) on: January 10, 2023, 07:36:27 AM
Not a very good start to the year, julerz12; I'm really sorry for you. I'm a parent too, and I can very well understand all your concerns about providing for a family.
But everything that has happened has already happened. Someone rightly said that you need to sit in a chair and collect your thoughts.
To proceed, one must be certain that this will not happen again in the future. Are you sure that you are an experienced Windows user? In any case, ask and think.
Are you using licensed Windows? How long have you had it? Do you allow the system to be updated regularly? Do you use your computer for anything other than work-related Internet browsing? Check everything: what browsers are worth, whether there is access to mail, and opening other people's letters. Such viruses are now being written that even Windows Defender does not recognize them as viruses. Remote Desktop, which might be named for another completely harmless process, could regularly monitor all of your activities. We just need to find the problem now.
Flash drives—are they all healthy?
In any case, I wish you strength. May your children always be proud of the honesty and correctness of their father.
