Greetings to all members of BTCTalk forum, I'm new to this forum, but I have some basic knowledge about BTC in general. I hope that we'll all get along. I currently have miserable amount of BTC in my wallet, but I hope that will change from time to time. I write in my free time and I hope that my book will see the light soon.
Anyways, I searched the forum, but couldn't really get the answer from it so I ask for people who know to answer me.
Question:
How can someone steal your wallet? I mean can they just grab it from a website or can they steal your wallet like they could steal your email and its password by keylogging, infecting with trojan and so on? And what happens if I for e.g. crate a backup of my wallet that has 0.01BTC and someone steals it from me and spends everything from it and I back it up after a day or two?
Thank you all in advance for taking your time to read my topic!
