RE: New Trojan attacking our Androids means we should never let our guard down when going online

in #crypto6 years ago

Interesting also to read how smart hackers are.

Also interesting: a Russian criminal says Russian criminals are stealing mainly outside Russia...

Bestoffer isn't that the hacker asking for ransom?

Let's assume someone sends me an SMS (nobody does except for the provider) how can this 'Trojan horse' lay its hands on my money?

Yeah, they are probably trying to avoid prosecution by their government by not targeting locals.

There is a variety of things a hacker might do. He can infect your device with a keylogger, get your passwords and use that information to send your coins to their wallets. He can also replace the address when you try to send crypto to someone with their address. That's just the tip of the iceberg of the endless possibilities by which a malicious user might gain access of your funds.

I'm not programmer so I don't really know the full implications of what a hacker might be able to do so I'm just scratching the surface here of what I know is possible nowadays and what I heard is already taking palce.
