As I have seen from a website about China's nabbing crypto thieves.  So, being a computer genius has a lot of advantages to get rich so easily with cryptocurrencies if they will not be caught.  Unlike us who makes clean living by trading, mining, investing and bounty hunting, they tend to get easy income in their professional thieves way.  Might be this is the reason why bitcoin's value is going down.  Just my thoughts..

As with any new innovation (especially a financial one), there will always be pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. It comes with the territory. In the digital age, it is to be expected. Whenever there is good done, always expect the bad to be not so far away. It is the truth, but an ugly one. Some people just want a fist full of dollars,  while others just want a few dollars more.

Computer viruses are different. But if you do not go into details, then all hackers anyway steal information with viruses.

Hardware wallet is the key for your problems. I know a lot of investors and bounty hunters who have lost their funds because of phishing. Hardware wallet will help with security.

I do not know how to steal, but the fact that the miner viruses are already boring me ... I can say for sure.
Recently I even read about the game in steam which while it is playing it uses your computer resources for mining ...

He just shared free downloadable plug-ins in group chats and public forums and used the host computer to mine virtual currencies without the knowledge of the owner, maybe it can be possible and yahoo had provided such information might be a credibility to really trust this news, And Ordinary computer users was an easy targets by yang because they don’t regularly check up on their servers which may be scanned by hackers for vulnerabilities, So it can be possible.

We should have 2 different devices (pc or phone). If we want to download and use new plugin, we just install it to the other device.
The device which have our wallet should not installed any new foreign plugins for our safety.

in 2015 i see the virus in our computer that can manipulated our clipboard, when we copy the bitcoin address and want paste it on the address column, the result is not same with the data that we copy, so if you want to send the bitcoin check twice about your address, is it correct?

i think no one can infect your system without you permitting it blindly, maybe if you are going to mine, be extra careful of those end user agreement and other stuffs so that you will not be fooled by those who steals cryptos.

You mentioned here about virus attacks, we should provide our pc the strong security it needs to make your system more secured. Checking can be a good practice for us so that you won't be able to commit any wrong inputs and avoid errors or funds lost. The possible intrusion of hackers will be opened during virus attacks send by malware programmers, and through security softwares it can be prevented.

Hacking events maybe will make bitcoin price dropping because the hacker can dump it on the market.
But seems like it is not the only reason for dip market. The market dips because the demands of cryptocurrency not increasing.
peoples need to buy bitcoin so the value can go up.

We are really vulnerable to hackers since just like who is not really knowledgeable on software stuffs in which I would be clumsy and might be a target for a hackers. That is why this is the major challenges of any crypto currency company if how can they prevent hackers to attack their software.

That news is nothing new. When bitcoin was not even so popular there was also a computer virus they call ransomware that would encrypt files so that you can no longer access it and in order to ipen it they will be asking you some bitcoin for you to open your files back. I just don't know if it still exist until today but I think it had made a lot of bitcoin for itself. Getting rich was simple in that way but I don't ever think it was a good way.

This can be something like remote administrative tool called also a rat, I used to research something on that topic before in my life, it is really a dangerous thing to have on your personal computer, person can get almost at total Access for all the things that you have.

There are many types of virus that are hidden created by famous hackers. It is said that crypto currency is a gold mine for most hackers since all transaction here are done through digital transaction. That is why we must be aware of any unprotecred links and do research more to prevent hackers to access our portfolio.

Different malwares are developed all the time, even those for stealing cryptocurrency.
Still I think that is more often that your personal data and credentials are being compromised and the perpetrator is using them to access your wallet and your cryptocurrencies.
You can never be cautious enough with protecting your coins so it's crucial to be up to date with the latest threaths so that you know how to protect yourself.

This is quiet alarming. But upon checking on the internet, different computer viruses are already/have been active to to steal other person's bitcoins. Like this link below that I will be sharing, pretty sure this is not a scam. It's happened in 2017 and sure that there are already instances that happened before this.

People right now was to intelligence in terms of creating viruses and hacking so if it that's true it was possible that it gonna happen they are creating a softwate or a plug-ins that people didn't know it was virus and it is stealing their money or coins  so possible you should buy a hardware wallet to secure like this hacking strategy.

I believe that already in our time, there are already many ways to secure your crypto currency. It is necessary to think about this in advance, and not at the moment when you lose it.

Yes it can be happen if virus attached to our computer or laptop  sure hanker will stolen our data easily from our system so before installing  any app or software we have to check about that and we should have a anti in our system otherwise we will loss our data than easily hanker can take our crypto tokens with our database.
We must monitor our computers to avoid unnecessary software running in our computer. It can be hack tool that can explore our computer files. This is the only complicated risk in crypto but it is our responsibility to protect our information and our earnings.
