Hackers are active these days.

[pugman]

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?

Its true and its not a rumor,the thing is bitcoin is easier for hackers to use as bitcoin being anonymous and since the proof of source doesn't work in bitcoins  ,it will be hard for the authorities or the person who has been hacked to find out who the hacker is!  So be careful out there,keep extremely strong passwords and don't link your one email to another,because sometimes it makes things easy for the hacker.

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.

yes, beware of hackers,
hackers at any time can steal your account or btc,
use 2FA in each of your account,and beware of web phishing, that's very dangerous,

I believe that hacker's malicious plans and actions are not predictable. And it's always necessary to be carefull. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to be more carefull with MEW. Avoid transactions, do not keep a lot of money there? How?

Hackers  are always there. It  is up to you how to protect your cryptocurrency. Better to buy hardware wallet to prevent your cryptocurrency being hacked. You need to do a preventive  measure to counter the attacks.

Yes they are active 365 days and they are waiting for one movement to hack your money or coins. so we should be very careful before doing any online transaction. especially when you are transferring your bitcoins to another address or person. Use only fully protected system to do your transaction and always make active your internet security.

Hackers are always active and they are just lurking around waiting for the right opportunity to hack someone which they would able to know the infomations related on the target. They would do all the things that they can able to steal money from other people but this thing can really be avoided if we do really know how to set safety measure either on our wallets or funds. Setting up 2fa on all accounts and dont disclose important informations  or keys into public.

I have never dealt with hackers. if we are always careful and diligent cleaning our computer from virus attack. I think the hacker's goal is no longer an individual. but many of these companies or large servers.

they just upgraded after they successfully done it with individuals and they might aiming for much bigger money to get from this illegal activities
so for us we need to have extra precaution they are just there hanging around waiting for some chances.

hackers are always there that make a fake site for victims to go to the site they have designed so that we can not see what is really original from the site or is designed then we should also see if the site is true from the original. website and if there is an oddity of the site do not you follow the site, fake or not difficult if we see but we must understand from the web there are disguised or not.

I always be careful in opening links and protecting with internet security. it becomes a defense for me, avoid torjan and virus injeck. never have my account hacked and my wallet is safe.

[claudiotiego]

Nowadays there are many people that doesnt know anything about bitcoin, cryptocurrency or blockchain and become easy targets for being robbed.
For who are starting in this world it's very important to always keep online security measures (good anti virus and programs that search for malwares, avoid click on suspicious links, etc) and never forget to import and safestore the private keys.

Always check your url in mew and do not click any message coming from slack. Lately, there are phishing dm's coming from slack to sign in on a fake mew website, you should avoid that. Lots of coins stolen because of that trick.

Thanks for info regarding Slack channel. It is important to take everything slow right now and verify who/what you are dealing with.

so intense attacks aimed at bitcoin this month. ranging from NK hackers, and china rumors, I think this is just to corner the bitcoin at the lowest level.

Hackers are always active, they make various programs and viruses to steal bitcoin, I was a victim and 0.62 btc stolen by hackers, but this happened in bittrex exchanger.

That's just a basic form of self protection. In some cases threats come unexpectedly in form of legit software you install from their main sites ~ the recent CCleaner news nicely confirms this.

For months people were downloading and installing CCleaner with malware in it, and it just became clear a few days ago. It turned out to be malware pointed at industrial espionage, but it is a threat to basically anyone.

I have formatted my drive and installed a fresh (legit) copy of windows 7, and are sending coins in recently created cold wallets to new addresses just in case. It's pretty annoying to go through, but it is a necessity.

That is a huge money if we will based that on the rate of bitcoin's price. It is better for you to have an account in exchanges that is 2fa enabled so you can have a 2nd layer of the security and always be careful in creating your password and always remember to make the strongest password that you can remember.
