RE: bitcoin & blockchain technology is unhackable how come hackers stole 70 million worth of bitcoins from "NiceHash"

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Unhackable I think only means hackers can't create new bitcoins out of the blue or double spend. BUT: stealing seems easy. Viruses install keyloggers, get your passwords as soon they see your checking crypto-relevant sites. Using crypto on your normal Windows machine or cellphone is an invitation to hackers, McAffee says.

Sort:  

Burn yourself a linux live CD like Knoppix and use crypto only with this. So you always have a clean operating system when dealing with your private key.
