Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency most attacked by hackers

It is recent history that the crypto-compartment is a very valuable target for viruses and hackers around the world.

Yes, because in addition to countless attacks on servers and global platforms, the data stored by the two largest providers of antivirus services on the market, namely Kaspersky Lab and McAfee.

According to the Russian computer company: "The number of users who have been attacked by malware for the production and extraction of cryptocurrency has gone from 1.9 to 2.7 million in a single year (+ 44.5%). "

This drop, though auspicious, is actually a critical percentage, as it finds its ratio in the greatest interest for the numerical attack by mining, a simpler process to put then infect, exposing the hacker to a lower risk.

"data-reactid =" 28 "> The phenomenon of attack is mainly attributable to cryptomoneta nakamotiana, being the BTC the first capitalized digital currency and also the one whose mining is more developed and whose processes are more complex.

The most problematic problem lies in the fact that the software used to attack (cryptominer) attacks computers and smartphones without the user's noticing them, allowing no type of blocking or encryption. defense later or in the race [19659008] According to data provided by MacAfee, the percentage of malware increase used for mining is only 629 points in the first quarter of 2018. A scary increase if you think the corrupted samples of cryptomatria rose from 400,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 2.9 million in the following quarter

which shows a systemic shift both in terms of attention to mining and partial release (30% as already mentioned below) to other attack systems (ransomware) whose disengagement seems to be increasing.

Continuing the badysis of the phenomenon, the vice president and director of the Santa Clara company, Steve Grobman, Here's how he expresses: "With the increase in the value of cryptocurrencies, the market trend is pushing criminals towards cryptojacking and the theft of cryptocurrency, cybercrime is an economic activity and it will always be the market's tendency to indicate where the opponents will focus their efforts. "

In simple terms, to understand where cryptocriminals, hackers and cyberladers will focus their business, it will suffice to observe the most developed trend of the moment. So, the more a criptomoneta will increase its value and the success of updating its blocks, the more it will be the victim and the target of an obscure movement that hides in the deep web and takes it into action. investors and businesses.

It is really disturbing, especially if observed, it is impossible to realize the flagrant criminal phenomenon.

The hope is that with the evolution of cryptographic technology, it is also possible to modernize the currently used prevention systems, in order to allow the technofinance to be determined on a safety track free from the thieves' shadow 3.0.
