1  Other / Beginners & Help / WHO ARE THE WHALES AND HAMSTERS IN THE INVESTMENT WORLD? on: April 13, 2018, 06:01:27 AM
Whales- are major players in the cryptocurrency market. To be considered a whale, it is necessary to have from 1000 to 10,000 bitcoins. Whales are often accused of atypical market behavior and significant growth or decline in the value of cryptocurrencies. Price jumps caused by whales are called waves. As a result of such waves, inexperienced players (hamsters) sell their cryptocurrencies, and whales buy them at reduced prices.

 Hamsters- are novice cryptocurrency traders who, due to lack of trading experience, are highly susceptible to mass panic as well as loss of profit syndrome, as a result of which they regularly buy or sell cryptocurrency at the most unfortunate moments.

Protect your personal data

Never respond to requests to provide your personal details or your Bank account details Online or by phone. If you are asked for your insurance number, find out if you can provide other details. Pay attention to convincing messages from banks, charities and government agencies. Use verified contact information sources to confirm information requests, such as, for example, the Bank's official website or phone number on your card.
Don't share too much

Do not post on social networks such data as your birthday, maiden name of mother, nickname of pet and so on. Here's how you can protect yourself right now: go to your social media profile and delete all the personal information you find there.
Update

Install antivirus software on your computer and update databases. Use only the latest version of your browser. Install all patches and updates as soon as they come out.

Increase the difficulty

What else is an easy way to protect yourself online? Your password. Use unique and difficult passwords. Do not enter passwords when using a public wireless network.
Aware of fake online sweepstakes and contests

All offers that require payment or personal information from you before you receive your reward are fraudulent. Therefore, you should always check the legitimacy of each proposal. Ask the sender for contact details and all necessary information about the company that is conducting the contest. As soon as you start asking a lot of questions and demonstrate that you can not get to make an instant decision, most scammers will leave you.
Give up the papers

Use electronic statements and direct Deposit, as well as pay for the accounts on the Internet.
Do not follow the wave of delight from working at home

Carefully check out the company that offers you work from home, making as many phone calls and Internet requests as possible. If you are in doubt, visit your local law enforcement Agency and find out the opinion of experts. All proposals for earnings through the shipment of goods sent to your address is a fraud. Unfortunately, many of these schemes not only make you a victim of fraud, but also expose you to fraud.

Find out what your Bank does to protect you

You should study the fraud protection provisions that your Bank offers to its clients. All major banks offer credit and debit card protection, and some even officially guarantee the security of online transactions.
Keep track of your finances

Monitor your Bank account and the status of your cards every week. Subscribe to alerts that will send you an email or directly to your phone Bank. Monitor your personal and public information on the Web for unauthorized activities. You can order reports on the status of your account and your credit or debit card at your Bank. Additional paid services will allow you to monitor your credit and personal identification information, social security numbers and online transactions in more detail and carefully.
3  Other / Beginners & Help / How to find a hidden miner on a PC on: April 10, 2018, 09:39:07 AM
 If your computer is constantly slowing down and running at maximum capacity, it is an occasion to check it for viruses miners. Consider how to detect a hidden miner on your computer and delete it.

What it is and how dangerous
Hidden miner is a virus program that uses the performance of your PC for mining (extraction) of cryptocurrencies. Infection occurs through:                                                                           

1-malicious messages;
2-downloaded files;
3-spam-mailing.                                                                                               

The first mention of hidden mining appeared in 2011, but then it was isolated cases. At the beginning of 2018, this problem occupies a leading position in the news feeds.


 Trojan miner carries a great danger to the PC:
1 Reduces the life of the "iron".
The PC is running at maximum load for a long time, which negatively affects the maximum service life:

processor's;
video card;
RAM;
cooling system.

2 Limits performance.
During the use of the infected computer for its tasks, the user gets scanty performance, because the bulk of it goes to hidden mining.

3 Opens access to personal data.
Since miner is a Trojan, he gets access to the user's personal information. Recently, cases of theft of electronic wallets and passwords have become more frequent. The attacker not only uses the performance of your PC, but also steals sensitive data Note!
The latest Windows update has been protected from mining.                                                                                                                         

How to detect and remove

(Council! Scan the system with an antivirus, you may come across an ordinary miner, who does not hide his presence. In this case, it will be detected and automatically deleted by antivirus software.)

Usually detect Trojan user is quite difficult, because the developers of the virus software tried to hide his work as much as possible. New miners are able to mask their activities:

-Disconnect while the user is working with demanding applications.
-Masquerade as other applications in task Manager.
-Work only during" idle " PC.

Your computer may be infected, and you won't even notice it. It all depends on the ingenuity of hackers. We will try to tell as much as possible in detail how to detect malware.

(Importantly! Be careful when you delete a file, especially if you are unsure of its purpose. All actions you do at your own risk!)

Through the task Manager

A little touch on Internet mining. There are sites that use a special script to access the performance of your PC. The hacker, bypassing the protection of the Internet resource, downloads there its malicious code that mines cryptocurrencies at the time of your stay on the site.

To understand that you got to be very easy, because you visit it your computer will start to slow down and the task Manager will show a heavy load on the hardware. Simply leave the site to stop the mining process.

To detect malware on your system:

1-Go to the task Manager, hold down simultaneously "Ctrl + Shift + Esc".
2-Observe processes for 10 minutes of total inactivity (including mouse movements and keystrokes).

(Importantly! Some viruses close or block the task Manager in order to hide their activities.
If the dispatcher was closed independently or any program began to load the system-this means that the PC is infected with miner).

3-If the virus is not detected, go to The details tab.
4-Find a process that differs from the standard one (for example, incomprehensible characters) and write down the name.
5-In the Windows search, type "regedit" → go to the registry.
6-"Edit" → "Find".
7-Enter a name for the file → delete all matches.
8-Scan your system with antivirus (for example, a standard antivirus is used, which is located in start → Settings → Update & security → Windows Defender).
9-If threats are detected, confirm their removal.
10-Then restart the PC.

(Council! Check out the article" the Best antivirus for Windows 10", which will help you choose the antivirus).
