Beware of Increasingly Sophisticated Malware Infection Attempts

[Qartersa]

I think since the OP posted this, things has gotten a lot more complicated. The security of cryptocurrencies has improved, however the malwares and viruses has likely also improved. However, I believe the best thing to do is to be always prudent to protect yourself. Having some sort of security measure to protect your coins is essential, whether it be bitcoins or whatever altcoins. My security measure of choice is having a hardware wallet, it is a robust security device but still convenient to use.

he target of this virus is to spam and steal BitCoin. The most dangerous, is the theft of BitCoin. BitCoin price is very expensive and has skyrocketed to Rp 25 million more. Imagine you lost that precious BitCoin.

Thank you so much for this! My friend nearly got dumped with this but luckily I had seen your post just in time to prevent it
Terrible people who are trying to steal money from others

One cannot predict all the ways you will get infected. One effective way is to have a separate device for your cryptocurrency, keep it offline with a thumb drive.
Be skeptical before accessing anything online and it will take you a long way.

Everyone just gotta be careful not to fall a victim.

Thank you for sharing the warning. Indeed, the more powerful the security software, the more dangerous the malicious software. It's like when a drug is found to fight the virus, it creates a new strain and strong resistance. Never be subjective with software with unknown functionalities and backgrounds. It can clean everything in your computer. The most confidential information is related to personal account, bank account.

In Crypto, the security of your coins is the real deal

Indeed so. This is a problem that network security managers always warn us. Let's think about it, if the e-wallet account and password contains Bitcoin or Ethereum that we accumulate in the hands of bad people. All the hard work we do will be zero. Do everything possible to protect each and every one of us.

I installed kaspersky antivirrus on my pc about 1 year ago. I am still happy.

Would running each wallet/miner in a different virtual machine with virtualbox prevent the effects of this kind of malware?

[ashao1015]

Yes. The cases of deceiving appears more and more for the last year. It`s better to to find everything you need on the secure sites and add some sites like MEW for example into bookmarks.

This sounds very scary, but I guess where the money is, there are also malversations. However, you should always be careful. Most of us are unaware of these things. Being more aware of this will keep us safe. Please continue educating us more.
