Hi,
When the Bitcoin will be very popular and may be not when ... Malwares can appear as malware/viruses which will change any Bitcoin address in web page, in links to hacker's Bitcoin address and any xpub key of BIP32 can be changed easy to xpub key of hacker. All Bitcoins and xpub keys are easy to fit program masks. They easy can be found and changed. There no needs to analyze stream of document - easy s/\b1[a-z1-9]{N,M}/1MyBitcoinAddress/ig can be applied to traffic stream.
One world, one payment details, one easy way to change payment details
What do you think? What tools can be appear against it?
This malware can be installed in browser plugins, it can be installed in routers and so on. A web traffic can be changed by this hack code (https can safe partly - middle man attack with certificate changing can be there).
All donations, some internet shops... Some % of payments can be redirected to hacker addresses.
I think it's serious problem can be in future.
I see salvation only in BIP70 now (certificates)
But now the world of Bitcoin is unprotected from this.
How do you think?
