Just come it to my mind. is it possible? to get hook into your wallet and send some to another wallet? Undecided

I don't know if you have seen but last months i have seen that many people were infected by a virus or malware which when people wanted to make a transaction the pasted address was always the hackers address so people were sending accidentally money to the hacker.

Well its the first time i see someone talking about some malware virus that affects the adress where we wanna to send the bitcoins,besides those i believe currently there is no way to hack bitcoin,since the hash protects the network.
Believe it or not, those malware exist, basically the malware will change the address whenever it detect that we are copying someone's address
When that happen the virus will alter your clipboard and change it to his address
That's why you need to always double check and make sure the address is right and not being altered by any mean Wink
I got this virus once and luckily I checked the address first Roll Eyes
