Well, i thought that since I did not download any extra software on my system, never click on unknown links, and had an updated anti-virus on my system, so it is hard to get any malware on my system. Also, i wondered why would any hacker try to intrude on my system, I do not store even a full Bitcoin. Also, another thing that made me confident of my system is that i haven't faced any such issues for the last few years, using Electrum as a hot wallet.
Anyhow, reading all of the replies and none agreeing with my point of view, i have started to feel scared.
Think about it — even experts themselves are scared of malware/viruses. If they're worried, YOU should be worried.
Also, hackers don't necessarily choose who to hack. They do wide attacks that affects as much devices as possible.
not have any extra system with me right now to meet this emergency, is the tails USB with the built-in electrum can be trusted?
It's fine if you know what you're doing; but the thing is, most people don't. Seriously don't cheap out and just buy a decent hardware wallet.
