@sp - I cannot download your open source miners because it says it has detected a threat and the software contains a malwaregen32?  Why does it find that?  Is it a compressed file?

Old news, many AVs do that with miners, whitelist it.

Sorry - I am a little paranoid after losing all of my coins in mid January.

how did you lose your coins???

virus

Yes a virus that was attached to a new miner listed on Cryptomining Blog.  It had a trojan with keylogger built in.  Unfortunately I wasn't running AV or anti keylogger at the time (I know stupid of me) and got wiped out.  So like I said.  I am paranoid now.

cryptomining blog really? that site is huge for mining, how they can not check for malicious code, are they stupid? what was the miner with the virus?

Hrmm at this point I cannot remember the title but I remember it said tpruvot 1.7 or so.  Obviously a scam since when after the fact I went to the github and saw tpruvot wasn't even on 1.7 - lol - hind sight is always 20/20.

I read somewhere that you got "robbed" by someone copying your wallet dats and actually got into your system with teamviewer?!

There are a few people who got robbed that way (search reddit).

It actually seems teamviewer is the culprit here.

Imo someone is bruteforcing teamviewer accounts. The attacker only needs to bypass the loginlimit somehow ...

Don't forget the basic teamviewer password is only 6 letters, so even if you set a permanent login password that is way longer that basic 6 letter pw is still valid.
(the default 6 letter pw can be changed to a 10 letter pw including special characters)

there are options on teamviewer to remove the possibility to access your computer, you simply choose to negate any connection to that computer from remote
