Last week, I bought my first batch of Bitcoins, and it's made me a bit paranoid about computer security.
I guess it's just common sense, but it struck me that here on the forums the click through rates on random links is likely pretty high. I guess links to software package downloads could also pose a risk. The individuals here likely possess wallet files of considerable value, thus might be a target of phishing scams or browser exploit attacks. The profile of most forumers is also quite similar. That being said, I've reacted by doing my bitcoin-browsing with NoScript turned on in Firefox.
Just wanted to share my thoughts
