I feel like all these stories require further investigation. As much as we all like to talk about backdoors and keyloggers, I have yet to hear ANYONE losing their accounts to keyloggers.
I agree with this.
Post Snowden, It's seems plausible that there are backdoors keylogger in hardware, eg intel and amd. Aso probally widows software.
I mean why wouldn't there be? The Gov just leans on them to do it.
I'm not sure how easy this is to check in the circuitry of an intel chip, though I think some one would have noticed by now....maybe.
Using a linux o/s offline that signs transactions seems the only safe way.
This is one of the driving reasons I wrote my coinwatcher software. I can load a html web page, and see all my addresses with no login, no private keys, no wallet, no sign in or anything and I can conveniently see what is in my addresses. Though I would use behind TOR so block chains that it queries do not get wise to where your IP.
