Malware on your PC can take control of your exchange account as much as it can a normal wallet. The drive dying is why you're supposed to backup your wallet or at least record the seed. On an exchange you're vulnerable to compromi

There's a corner-case to this corner case which is marijuana sales. Legal state vendors are technically violating federal law but the IRS still expects a cut from them, and the ones wanting to stay in good standing are certainly report

While its not common enough to matter much, there have been cases of apt vulns (DSA-4371-1) which would give anyone who can exploit it with a MITM root access. One example of where this could lead to a wide spread attack is distros like who

The reason isn't so much that xen doesn't support it but more so that graphics cards are not very well intended for isolation. Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think you're supposed to compute 1 thing on a gpu an

Tor+VPN has various trade offs and is not good for everyone. Generally i would say most people would not benefit from it. https://matt.traudt.xyz/posts/vpn-tor-not-mRikAa4h/
