I would not be surprised if one day I see you complain that your funds are stolen because you downloaded some file from some website. How convenient it must be for hackers that someone would actually use their work and hand their private keys.

Exactly, people are too careless and don't have in mind security. Wallets and cryptocurrency in general are so vulnerable and we have to be very careful what we install, what data we share and especialy we shouldn't give out our private keys. If you don't act like that don't be surprised if one day you lose your coins.

Exactly, the algo's are all the same; BTC uses SHA256 (NSA) to hash the public-key into an address, and ETH uses Keccak-512 (Sputnik);

All private keys to address mapping is the same, private_key*generator->public_key, Hash(public_key)->address, compress address -> final address

You can do this yourself, don't need a downloaded malware. Just use 'KU' ( python pycoin util ) and generate the public-key from a private-key. Then apply the sha or keccak hash, and them in the case of bitcoin address format compress to base-58 ( cmd line tools on linux are already there for all these steps )

Why would anybody do this? It's not the same address,

Like somebody said here, the only reason for this is to get you to enter your private-key, so their malware can send it home.

If you must do it, I have explained above how do to it,

U can't really map btc to eth, as keccak & sha are different one-way trap door functions, called 'hashing'; if you go back to the priv-key, then you can map to public-key, as essentially ETH is just a clone of BTC, and they both use the same algo to generate elliptic curve arithmetic.

Bitcoin gets hacked 100x more than ethereum historically, because "BTC was where the money is/was", in time as ETH becomes more popular, and bigger CAP, you will see the criminals move to ETH. I think essentially that is what this malware is about, its an attempt to catch morons making the move from btc to eth, and thinking they can use the same priv-key, you can but why would you want to weaken security? ETH has good wallets, and good key generation built-in, why would you want to 'import' a private-key from btc of questionable security?

thanks a lot for your detailed explain.
as we know, the Public key is leak in early transaction .so, there is possibility to extract the PK of Satoshi, and uses Keccak-512 (Sputnik) to hash the public-key into an ETH address. am i correct? if yes, kogitoken.org team hashed right ETH address, from Satoshi Public key. if it's right, it will be genesis air drop to Satoshi. it's ETH community big news.
thanks.
