So now it begs the question that if we are in crypto space, we should really be alert on everything we click and downloaded, even anti-virus software because we could be trick by going into this kind of websites and we thought that we are safe.
Sometimes, when you browse blogs and websites, you may be directly redirected to phishing sites that appear as pop-ups in advertisements. You might also find that fake antivirus programs, Cleaner software, or programs containing Trojans have been automatically downloaded. Indeed, people can make a significant mistake by opening and installing these malicious programs on their main computer used for cryptocurrency investments after feeling reassured by reading that the downloaded program is legitimate software from companies like Avast or Bitdefender, etc.
It is worth noting that scammers pour poison into honey. They create their malicious programs to impersonate the names of protection/security and maintenance programs and the like so as not to raise any suspicion in the minds of their victims and then easily steal their computers. Anyone must add browser extensions to detect phishing sites and block advertisements, avoid using their main computer online, and purchase dedicated hardware for their long-term investments.
