Malware that steals your crypto. Reminder to stay aware

Due to malware on their computer, one unlucky Bitcoin user was fooled out of 0.255 BTC, roughly $10,000. On Twitter,crypto enthusiast and tech blogger Louis Nel raised the problem, referring to his buddy as 'C.' A friend transferred 0.255BTC to an exchange from his bitcoin wallet. On his PC, he copy pasted the wallet address to avoid any error. When the coins did not arrive at the exchange after 4 hours, he became concerned...

The Bitcoins were transmitted from Kraken to VALR, a South African exchange," but the malware on his computer captured replaced the wallet address when he pasted it without realizing it.

The wallet address does not belong to the Kraken exchange who also noted that there are 9 transactions into that wallet, indicating others have been tricked as well. The money at the bitcoin address in question have not changed and currently have a value of 0.27 BTC.

This should be a reminder to us investors to take our online security very seriously, and invest in trusted projects that have been out there for a while and offer real life purpose, like SocialGood for cryptoback on online purchases, ethereum since it offers the best blockchain for smart contracts, Aave to lend your stablecoins and any other project you find worth your investment.
