Hackers are active these days.

[stephanirain]

Some bitcoin users told me not to do transactions in these couple of days because hackers are active these days. I want to know is it true? or some kind of rumor? Anyone here who have faced such problem?

Well in my own opinion, there are really many hackers these days so you need to be fully aware in your transactions. But always look in where you are typing because there are many fake websites that can steal your accounts in just one click, so always keep your eyes open or pilled.

Aren't hackers active all the time? There are some periods of intensive hackers campaigns aimed at certain goals but in fact you have to protect your coins all the time equaly. I'm not aware that these days hackers are performing or preparing some special attacks but it's always good to take all security measures you can.

Exactly my point, hackers have always been on the lookout every now and then looking for who to rob of his funds or coins and what we dont know is before an hacker will get a break through, it would have been after several attempts. The most common ones are scams attempt such as phising, cloud mining, scam mixing services, HYIP services among others but we are quick to assume that is an hack where as its not. That being said, exchange sites are prone to such attacks as they are always the subject of targets.

This. As a sig camp manager, you would be floored at the amount of folks on a weekly basis that have their ETH wallets compromised. In a group of 300 people, say at least 10% of those folks get hacked during the course of a 4 WEEK campaign; another 5% will change their wallet addresses due to "possible insecurity'. This is why cryptos are so attractive to scammers/hackers; its just too easy at the moment given the high numbers of novice users. This is also why crypto isnt ready for the mainstream yet. There is a reason why ach is reversible, and that is that people tend to fuck up. Given how easy it is to fuck up in a very expensive way here, we will continue to be plagued by this until crypto becomes a lot more user friendly

As the cryptocurrency become popular and bitcoin price keep on soaring plenty of hackers are also becoming active everywhere. That's why every time I check my wallets online I always double check everything before I press enter because I don't want to get hack. Just recently my friend told me that she got hacked in etherdelta.

Can you elaborate on this? I use ED ALOT and while it has problems with functionality, I have never even dreamed of being hacked on ED, thats pretty much the entire point of ED being a dex. When you "wrap" coins (send them into the exchange) they go into a intermediary wallet that is specifically assigned to your account. If the exchange were hacked, so to speak, it would require a compromise of the smart contract. It would take entirely too much time and resources to compromise each and every wallet holding funds. This is why ED is so ass draggingly slow; every thing you do either requires a signed message, or a pair of transactions  that will need to confirm at least once.

did they get confidence scammed? or did ED get the best of them? (its a bit of a learning curve, I will admit)

Yes. Because they want to hack more and more accounts because bitcoin price now is very huge and good thats why they have been triggered and they want to earn more and more even they have been doing it illegally but as long as they can earn it in an easy way they doesnt even care.

There are so many hackers online so we must be aware and watchful because hackers are so wise and intelligent so we must be careful with everything that we do online for us to be always safe.

Dont get affected on those fuds of those shill bitcoin users. Making transactions isnt really a problem since no one could able to hack you from that as long you did put the exact address of your reciever and also you wont be hacked is those private keys and important informations of your wallet are being kept and not being shown in the public. If they dont have such information they cant hack you no matter what.

[karisiak123]

Can be threatened if an active hacker can be a bitcointalk account that we have on his hacher, we have to be careful, we have to be active in each account, so hacher can not take our account.

Why would you not do transactions? Most of them are always active since the beginning of time and that's why they are working as hackers. They are monitoring each transactions that are happening and I guess they are into bigger transactions and seeing those wallets that contains large sums of bitcoin. But if you know how to secure your coins, you don't have to worry.

Ever since the beginning of computers and the internet, there have been hackers. Some tried to deny it, but as systems become more complex security became harder and these days hacking is rampant. And in the Bitcoin world it is the worst of all!!!

[jseverson]

Sounds like a fear monger.

It's true that hackers are more prolific than ever, but that's no reason to not dabble in technology. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself online, and they're only one Google search away. What you need to know, though, is most of the "hacks" around typically rely on user error: phishing with similar sites, making you click on ads, planting spyware on pirated software, etc. It's mostly a matter of awareness. You can take more advanced steps, like a more secure OS after that.

Hackers have always been active. The most common way of being a hacker's victim is the user's fault. Often fake website, phishing emails and social engineering. When using the internet, be aware. Scan your pc regularly and don't click og sketchy links. Especially don't download sketchy software. If you really need to, use a virtual machine.

I agree. The more Bitcoin is worth the more active are the hacker guys. Make sure to enter URL manually in the browser and do not click on links which could lead to fraudulent websites. Often it's enough just to open the website in the browser to infect your PC with malicious software like key logger. Use your brain.exe and an up to date virus scanner.

We need to be careful with our bitcoin because bitcoin right now is very attractive to the hackers because they know that the price of bitcoin is very high and hacking and stealing bitcoins from the other wallet will give them a lot of profits so we need to be careful always in every clicks and every site that we give our info because it might lead for the hackers to break into our system.

[sunno330]

I can't say absolutely correct but, its true that I heard this news before.
they stolen bitcoin. but I not faced this problem.
so then, we need to secure our account more

[nesh1]

Hackers are active everyday but i guess with this many people and this many accounts the software should be unbreakable.

[raymart0720]

yup in fact my friend here in Philippines lost 1 btc..
when he transfer his btc on an online wallet and the remaining balance was 0.004 only and it is sad to know..
by now he is more on securing and caring where will he store all his cryptos.. be careful folks yes hackers is every where

[danherbias07]

They are not active just that day but all of the time. Everytime there will be an opportunity they will take it.
Specially now that bitcoin is growing in price. Even the wannabe hackers will do it if they find a hole. Just one bitcoin or two will be a good steal. So let us be careful into what website we will go or sign up.
