Even torrent which works like the tor network can be hacked, it means that nothing in this world is secure. Be sure to secure your funds from hackers.

This is why I check files on the torrent download folder before I proceed the download. I wait for the folders to show-up and then it should be all I need. I pause the download for files that I'm not familiar with. Especially crack folders.

To download unfamiliar torrent files, I scan them for security, and then the decision to download is made. Be careful about these things.

I think that those wishing to use such methods will become more and more common with time, and the more popular the cryptocurrency is, the more popular the more often we will hear about it. You must always be careful, and even better for a torrent to have a separate laptop that is not used for work, then you can get around this point.

For those who torrent files, an instance of the "Cozybear" malware was found in a download.

This is a reminder to the community to keep their torrenting separate from where they store their online wallets.

Is there some relationship about the torrent sites or files to the cryptocurrency? particularly their respective wallets? I think torrent is kinda different from cryptos.

Yes Indeed. thats why when downloading torrents file much better if you save file on seperate hardisk or sites that will surely secured your wallet and avoid pishing / or lose you wallet.
But even its not on torrent just always be secure interms of wallet there are many sites that has a virus also created to hack wallets.

Unfortunately, the use of torrent always has similar hazards. Every computer that has Cryptocurrencies traded needs to be protected from such activities. A good antivirus project maybe makes ICO and it works.

Thanks for the heads up. Thank goodness, when downloading movies and TV series I don't use torrent anymore. I'm aware that some torrent files could be infected with viruses and disguise as malware. Some malware could steal information like passwords and private keys and the next thing you know your digital assets are gone in your wallet.

the internet seems to become very frightening to me now, Imagine that you did bounties the whole year in able to get some crypto because you can't afford to buy then ended uphaving your earnings been stolen because of this kind of hackers gimmicks. Everyone should be really aware of this.
This will not happen if you always check the sources of your software. In most cases, people lose all that they have because of inattention.

The internet keeps getting more risky by the day, this is the reason I avoid visiting certain websites or using certain apps because you never can tell who is trying to steal from you.

This is so much helpful information, I've download torrent in sometimes, but usually i download torrent file in a separate device with the one that i used to store all my cryptocurrency wallet. I think it will be safe from the possibilities of that torrent malware.
