Has anyone been hit by this yet? That would really suck to lose all your BTC.
I'm sure if everybody follows the simple steps to securing your wallet.dat file, then I doubt even if this did hit you, For the most part you should be fairly secure  |

As an alternative, you could also use Truecrypt and sync to a service like Dropbox regularly. This probably isn't the first threat to surface with the rise of Bitcoins, and likely wont be the last. Perhaps this calls for a bitcoin client that requires a password on startup to decrypt the wallet?

Can anyone suggest a php application that I could run on my Linux server that would act as my wallet?

If you're on windows, you should run everything in sandboxie that's not 100% trusted, and add your bitcoin wallet location in Resource Access->File Access->Blocked Access along with your firefox/chrome profiles if you haven't already, that'll prevent anything from accessing the directories/files in there, giving you a nice sense of security should you run any sort of stealer, whether password stealer, or wallet stealer |
