People should know that if they want to protect their crypto, they should use a cold wallet. Hackers are still existing because they are seeing people to scam. If people start to us cold wallets, the possible of scammers to scam will reduce.

People should avoid to download anything from unknowing sources, this will also be helpful.
Hackers are going to exist whether we like or not, they are there to stay as well. We use cold wallets, hardware wallets, desktop wallets, etc. It's best to protect ourselves by being careful on how we use the internet and what apps, websites that we visit and we grant permission by downloading. While this specific malware is targeting specific users too, the developers that are also in crypto. Technically, they might not notice it but I hope that those who uses this website will see the warnings.

Exactly, we've seen that they can hack anything even hardware wallet if we are not that careful. The best thing to do is to learn and read how this hackers are attacking and what method and just like here, software packages that are in the public that anyone can download.

So even if the website is trusted, we still need to be very careful not to download anything. Yes, hopefully those sites right now that is under attack should see that they are now in the cross hair of the hackers to they will need to up their game.
