Be aware of malware

Recommended Posts

It's very possible to steal your coin if you are not aware of possible malware etc. For avoid this, I would like to share some tips with you.

1. Don't install unauthorized software

Hackers will ask you to download software and install it to increase your hash power. It may seem true, they will share proof (fake), and you may get interested. But this will rip you off of you install the program. Check the software authenticity. Don't install anything which is not authorized.

2. Never rush to click link

Before you click any link shared here which may seem correct (electrum.org), check the background of the link. For example, I may write electrum.org and use link of fake electrum website.

3. Wallet update

It's almost same as the 1st one, you may get some thread where hacker will ask you to update a wallet. Always check the official announcement in their website and their bitcointalk thread.

There are a lot of ways to steal your coin, these are very common tricks used by hackers. Suggest more, I will update the thread.
