Re: WARNING! to all VLC player users! Stop using VLC and update it now!! June 22, 2019, 04:28:19 PM #18 Quote from: ETFbitcoin on June 22, 2019, 03:17:09 PM Quote from: Stedsm on June 22, 2019, 02:32:54 PM What if?

I don't keep any private key in a PC I've used this media player in, while also having a 2fa enabled in wallet that also asks for a password to get into it?

Am I considered safe in that situation?



You're safe, but they still could make a copy of your wallet files & browser files (history, cookies, download list, etc.) which could be used to brute-force or social-engineering attack.

And even if these guys are able to copy my wallet files and/or browser files like you said, can't I save my coins by sending all of them out of that wallet into a secure wallet I maybe use in my smartphone or another offline PC?



What if?

The wallet I use is infected itself (just like the case in Electrum)?



Just out of curiosity, we all mostly use pirated Windows by downloading some Windows activators (like KMSpico) and using them to update our key and make this thing work without any issues. But, the question here is, are these activators safe? Can't they have the full data of my PC if they try to hack it through any Trojan or other virus/es when they're able to bypass Windows security to check whether our installed Windows is genuine or not?
