Maybe this is not so much relevant on this section but I think relevant too as I am referring to possible alts in the future.
I don't know but the idea pump up in my mind when I realized that everyone is vulnerable once there is a project with malware in their links, signature, or avatar.
What is malware?
Malware is the collective name for a number of malicious software variants, including viruses, ransomware and spyware. Shorthand for malicious software, malware typically consists of code developed by cyberattackers, designed to cause extensive damage to data and systems or to gain unauthorized access to a network.
Hunters are very vulnerable once participate on their project created by scammers. Is it possible to get compromise us? Share your opinions

What do you mean by compromise? The scammer is a scammer and they will never pay us a single cent although we have worked so hard here. They think that sometimes, the cryptos are not worth it and when they start again, it may be too late or we have another big ideas for this next, just be picky in order to know the right start to get the new platform that really gives us the second chance of taking the worth it altcoins

Well, with the world we are in and with modern technologies around which can be utilized by evil people, this can be possible. However, I still have to confirm if this can be true or if anyone got malware of any virus coming from avatar or anything connected to a bounty program. These days it can be so easy to entice people to download anything and these can be trojan horse that can wreak havoc with our computers or devices.
-
One thing for sure, whether malware is true or not as far as bounty campaign is concern I don't think bounty hunter will think to avoid it. Bounty hunters are bounty hunters who always willing to take the risk for the sake of the reward special if the project is undeniably tempting.

It's possible, they could ask us to download a wallet to accept coins and put malware there. That's why I don't like it when a campaign is mandatory to download a wallet, I'd rather skip it. You can protect your assets or data by skip such a projects
-
I think it could happen, when we visit their site and they have planted a virus on their website which can infect our device. Therefore, always be careful and make sure you don't install applications carelessly and always make sure your anti-virus is up-to-date.
-
It's no longer possible but it has happened, where if you send an email to the Bounty Manager, then our email can also be traded by the Bounty Manager for profit.
After the Bounty Manager sells our email to hackers, the hackers send an email containing malware links and such, as a result when the recipient opens the email they can hack their PC and laptop for personal gain.
-
What you think is quite possible.
For example, a hacker can create a crypto project and then launch a campaign to promote it. In addition to the usual campaigns, he could use these methods to attack a hunter's computer:
- Requires installation of a wallet to hold the project's tokens. Maybe the software was a virus;
- Ask the hunter to download the signature code on the crypto forums, maybe the file comes with the virus;
- Ask the hunter to access a certain website, containing the virus...
- Ask hunter for wallet code & private key :)
-
If the bounty manager or the team require us to download a software like the wallet to get an address then possible we can get a malware on our computer or the mobile phone. This is risky if you join this kind of bounty campaign.
