hijacked contract-adresses

[Mankov]

Hello,

is it possible, that someone can hijack a original contractadress on a decentrialised exchange, like etherdelta?
Even ift it would show the right contract-adress, could it be a fake?

For example Gladius Token... Is it the original token? https://forkdelta.github.io/#!/trade/0x71d01db8d6a2fbea7f8d434599c237980c234e4c-ETH

It`s the right contract-adress, but could it be a fake, too?

Yeah. if your pc is compromised - malicious actors can swap address. Some web-to-TOR relay done that with ransomware payment pages. swapped legit BTC address with other.

Oh, good to know....

I`m considering trading on a linux, because it`s not so under the radar of hackers

The smart contract itself can be not hijacked, only the front end or the interface can be hijacked. I think when the SWARM and IFPS protocols are matured enough, the crypto space will become more secure.
