Beware of Increasingly Sophisticated Malware Infection Attempts

[winteriscoming91]

How can we identify the malware infection?
 Is there any direction of attack?
can we identify them by the virus guard?

that's bad!!. Anyone recently went through such bad experience?

Recently, in my private messages on the forum, there are a lot of messages from beginners with all sorts of links, I already do not know what to think, blocking all at once does not always work. I need to somehow secure my account

Do you mean your bitcointalk account? how can you secure that?

Yes, I meant it. There are ways of different associated with the purse bitcoin, you can bind your forum account to a purse of a bitcoin or account. I know how to do it right now.

I just ran Malwarebytes and I found 11-12 different items that needed to be quarantined. I realized this was from several faucets that have pops ups that I have never seen before.

One was SatoshiBakery which was odd because it was a ripple faucet. I thought ooh cool but it said it only gives every 15 mins but it was giving at 5 mins just random. Next thing I know my entire computer's power stating something like 2,8650MB for memory. I have never freaking seen that on my computer like it's working in overdrive or something. So it appears they're hijacking people's computer's and using it to mine.

The other faucet was faucethub. For every claim I made  it was as if they had 5 captchas and then all of these pops ups some of which were 4 on one page, 2 on another page. I realized that many of these places are receiving high revenue dollars for pretty much spamming the hell out of the people showing up to faucet collect. I just don't recall it ever being this bad before where I'm clicking left and right. It's insane. I abandoned ship when I realized their "up to starting point" was actually their minimum. There's no way I was going through all of that and decided eh keep the coins it's not worth the drama.

The other site was coinfaucet.io first off it had me create an account but wouldn't let me in and kept popping up all of these ads yet the button to "log in" was frozen. I tried the guy on twitter but he gavee me the "try it again". Nah I get it I'm in the U.S. so you'll get tier $$$ profits from my IP clicking that crap. No thanks. Seems like it's the same guy from Satoshi Bakery.

Best to just go to the ones you know and trust because since btc's rise there have been shady activities left and right.

Thank you for the insightful information. I believe malware developers have this kind of platform as a target for obvious and selfish reasons.
I feel it's better to be careful on the type of links we click, and reinforce our security. Just thinking aloud. Thanks

I think that this information will not end in this topic, as I personally receive reports every day that scammers have come up with something new, they are developing, and nothing can be done about it, we need to think how to protect our assets

Guys, what about RiskWare.BitcoinMiner? My Minergate and EWBF ZCash Cuda Miner are with this virus. Is it a false positive or should I care about him? I have already deleted both miners and downloaded them again, but they are still infected with those viruses. What do I do? Are there any other ZCash miner that are not infected with this virus?

[Mayang04]

These scammers are constantly learning, becoming smarter and more sophisticated. Be careful always. Download only from official sites and always check where the link leads you are going to go.

Well, we can not stop it, even the best antivirus programs can not cope, it's all due to a lot of money in the crypto currency and people holding crypto currency, it's all clear. Have to adapt only

The problem is that you just cannot read the source code of every single thing you put on your day to day desktop PC.
Most crypto users do not have a seperate machine for crypto.
In the future a secondary machine will be like 2 FA today, that's my guess.

I have already promised myself that in the new year 2018 I will buy a separate apple in order to send transactions and other items such as wallets and additional programs that will not interfere with the operation of the system.
