Probably because of those "low-level viruses" that can infect at binary level.
High-level format, aka: "format disk" or "delete partition" doesn't actually delete most of the files' traces, that's why it's possible to recover them using deleted file recovering tools.

Low-level format (zero-fill) should work in those cases, but that involves professional software tools.

When a machine is infected with EquationDrug or GrayFish, the firmware flasher module gets deposited onto the system and reaches out to a command server to obtain payload code that it then flashes to the firmware, replacing the existing firmware with a malicious one.

The only solution for victims is to trash their hard drive and start over with a new one.

If I can suggest a simple work around to avoid this kind of theft, I can suggest a easy virtual machine installation
I use it for my home banking and Crypto transfers.
An USB, 128gb or more to get acceptable performance
All the address saved in the task bar to avoid fake site found by googling
Linux lubuntu, a lighted and fast version of Linux.
When I need to use home baking or Crypto wallet I use this USB. I called it bank box.
Not sure at 100, but for sure more Than home pc.
If I'm forced to use it from my home pc, I usually check the first and last 3 or for address chars.

read the full email address of the sender.

The vulnerability example you gave however effected Chrome, not Chromium.

all my emails need phone verification to open and every Gmail account holders should do the same

Bare in mind that Chrome has 100+ vulnerabilities per year, Brave hasn't had one yet in 2019. Just saying 

Please make sure that you download locally the scrips from bitaddress.org and run them in a safe environment; you don't want others also get those private keys.

Hi all,

Can I recover my account on blockchain.com if I lost my password and 2FA code, just have access to my email used to register that account months ago?

Thank you all very much for any guide to recover my account.

Right now, there is not a big wall between $8k and $10k, so if whales wanted to get it back up it would be super easy for them.

that compound interest is such a great thing

Conpound interest is one of the most greatest invention of economist.

Compound interest is probably one of the best ways to make money

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest. It is the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest. Compound interest is standard in finance and economics.

I navigated to the wallet but it just says created today (when I last opened it). Screenshot below if that helps:

Hi all, I'm new to crypto market. Would like to ask is Crypto market correlated to Stock market ? And can we apply Stock investment strategy & technique  in Crypto market

#1  Encryption functions on the basis it would take too long to brute force. Google's claim they can solve problems in "200 seconds" that would normally take "10,000 years" directly implies they are poised to break the encryption standards that technologies like bitcoin are built upon.

#2  Where was it "explained" that this news is "not connected" with crypto?

#3  "This has nothing to do with the fall." Based on what? I have seen nothing credible to suggest otherwise.

that certain computational tasks might be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor than on a classical processor
...
takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of the quantum circuit 1 million times
...
The benchmark task we demonstrate has an immediate application in generating certi able random numbers[9]; other initial uses for this new computational capability may include optimization optimization [10{12], machine learning[13{ 15], materials science and chemistry [16{18]. However, realizing the full promise of quantum computing (e.g. Shor’s algorithm for factoring) still requires technical leaps to engineer fault-tolerant logical qubits[19{23]
...
To demonstrate quantum supremacy, we compare our quantum processor against state-of-the-art classical com- puters in the task of sampling the output of a pseudo- random quantum circuit

Google claims they achieved "landmark success" with quantum computers which could break the encryption protecting crypto currencies like bitcoin within the near future.
