Hackers target cryptocurrency users with new ElectroRAT malware

[Freemind]

Surfing the web (I haven't said that for many years) I found this article, I think it would be very interesting if the maximum number of people read it to be more protected.

Security firm Intezer Labs said it discovered a covert year-long malware operation where cybercriminals created fake cryptocurrency apps in order to trick users into installing a new strain of malware on their systems, with the obvious end goal of stealing victims' funds...

Be careful!

Cybercrime is more common in France, I learned from a friend. Economic prosperity, inconsistency, child cybercrime reduces the attachment of resources. No person or child should be involved in such cyber crime. Awareness is urgent. Countries with more cryptocurrency resources. Their concern. However, I think that there will be no harm to those who have small users. However, if the exchanges are hijacked, they are most likely to suffer losses. Exchange is not able to recover previous location.

What do u think about? Explain more opinion?

@Nostoman I have never looked in detail at the geographic areas where cybercrime comes from, considering how easy it is today to hide behind one (or several) VPNs and proxy tunnels, I know that depending on the crime, they can find anyone anywhere in the world. But even finding those responsible, the damage is done and the funds can be hidden.

For years I think that any exchange that wants to operate must necessarily have insurance, but of all the ones there are, these are the only ones that I have found that have insurance:

1. Binance - Funds are SAFU: https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/secure-asset-fund-for-users
2. Bittrex - Holding the record with a $300 million insurance plan: https://medium.com/bittrex/bittrex-inc-secures-300-million-in-digital-asset-insurance-to-enhance-protection-16fff23a98d1
3. Gemini - $200 million insurance via their own company: https://www.gemini.com/blog/digital-assets-insurance
4. Coinbase - A risky $255 million insurance fund: https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/other-topics/legal-policies/how-is-coinbase-insured

I have not found any other exchange with those characteristics. Why is it not an obligation for exchanges to have insurance?

Nice. I have published one of the geographic areas to raise in the discussion meeting. Because you will discuss the issues later, hopefully. Great. However, it is normal that the identity of a person who commits cybercrime will not match. It is not unreasonable. Because those who carry out large-scale cyber attacks, their identities never match. They are known as black hackers.

Let's see what the operation yield will be in the end. But if this is the case, then digestion is very difficult. It will be difficult. The reality will be very difficult. Healthy thinking?

their identities never match.

Yes I know they are called black hat hackers, I mean precisely what you said and what I agree with you 100%. Does that lead us to think about the "inability" of the exchanges and the security forces of each country?. Or in the great skill of black hackers?.

I would like to know what others think of the last two questions I have asked.
