Malware scanning for wallets is not unusual.
In some cases password (private key) as sole and sufficient method to have full control over asset, executable by anyone is a problem not a benefit.
- herbst 6y agoMalware stealing bank accounts, credit cards & paypal is just as popular. All of which you have no real influence about the actual account security.
- NicoJuicy 6y agoBanks have more security measures in particular. You can't just login to paypal from another IP. You can't just login into most emails these days ( 2FA) Crypto wallets have none of those protections. Other than that: EOS (dPoS) reversed transactions multiple times while being top 10 at the time: https://cointelegraph.com/news/eos-reverses-previously-confi https://cointelegraph.com/news/eos-reverses-previously-confi... Ethereum Classic was attacked multiple times with chain reversing double spends due to not enough energy being committed to immutability: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-classic-attacker-successfu https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-classic-attacker-successfu... Ethereum reversed the "DAO hack" with a hard fork.
- herbst 6y ago> Crypto wallets have none of those protections. Which is simply not true, there at least 100 Wallets just in the Android Store. You think none of them has some kind of additional protection?
