Bitcoin is an encrypted, peer-to-peer currency, designed as an alternative to government-controlled currencies. The Trojans "InfoStealer.Coinbit" and "CoinBit.A" attempt to steal the wallet.dat file that holds the Bitcoin virtual currency and email it to the attacker.Both Trojans were found on Bitcoin user forums, potentially affecting all forum members if they were to click infected links. The Trojans were delivered via phishing links showing images. Bummer.
that's indeed a huge bummer.. Bitcoin system seemed so wholesome and such a great alternative way for currency exchange.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky I never used bitcoin. sucks for those people who got their info hacked.
ReplyDeleteWow, That's not good man, I luckily never used it too.
ReplyDeleteAlways watch out for that stuff.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to have my money in my wallet. Cool idea though. Following!
ReplyDeletedang dude.
ReplyDeleteWho ever would of thought to hack a digital currency. hopefully they can get it figured out and safe agian.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of BitCoin in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThat's not quite true. I did, but it never held any allure for me. Still really sucks; it's a neat idea, and for anyone who used it, my sympathies.
Hmm... I guess it was only a matter of time until something like this could happen. Considering the data is pure currency I'm sure the program will continue to attract this sort of behavior.
ReplyDeleteBitcoins sounds like a good idea but it will never work when people can still do this.
