Can you provide a reference/s on the methods used by these modern hackers?
Google is available in your country. It's like asking how people get hacked on the www generally, there are many ways. By "modern hackers" he was referring to the trendy methods.. But once the machine is infected:
i.e: they scan your hard drive to find something looking like "wallet.dat". Then they upload the file, extract the keys
i.e: Getting access to the RPC functionality used by the wallet software...
etc, etc.
