I wonder if there is a history of infecting user computers with wallet applications?
I mean its a lot of wallets and, like, you always install uninstall them.
Sure i have antivirus but its a lot of very complex code deployed around.
It's really possible to get infected from wallet applications if you didn't download it from their official site or from github. So should only get it from trusted source as a lot of hackers are really targeting the crypto world because of the huge sum of money involved. This scenario could be possible in the altcoins as a lot of coins are popping everyday and one mistake you made, all your coins are gone. Even wallets like myetherwallet have been targeted too. So we needed a lot of common sense here, double check everything before downloading, clicking a link. As we evolved, hackers evolved as well.
I'm not even talking about hackers.
I mean the pure surge in activity makes it impossible to trace all the code. I can clone repo insert my code, fork the Bitcoin or what not , make a post here, create some static page site, generate google questionnaire to get some airdrop going, and my business is as legit as 80% of other projects here. And meanwhile i steal money from all other wallets installed on customer computer.
Its C++ binary code, nobody knows what it does really.
Sounds like good ground for bad people.
