The link redirects mo to LoyceV's original post and not to the more sophisticated methods these modern hackers use which is what I was asking.


I also recommend reading this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3077537.msg31729867#msg31729867 At the moment, this is the most comprehensive and reliable topic about hacker methods against cryptocurrency owners. If you do not want to read everything, read these 2 posts:
I will have to translate this but thanks.


I'm hoping this doesn't turn into some topics that we usually see in reputation board.
The topic is not moderated, so if signature spamming starts, it will be lock.
I should have been more specific. I'm not referring to the spam but the back and forth personal attacks.




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.
Yes of course. I could also ask google but since OP mentioned of those sophisticated methods, I got curious as to what he/she was referring to and so I asked.

Thanks for adding information.
