folly Bitcoin it has expanded with astonishing speed in countries where this currency was not even known until last year, although it has been traded on specialized websites for many years.
Despite this year Bitcoin has gone through critical periods and the many problems that led to stop transactions for a few hours, it remains a alternate currency desired by more and more people. In the last year the price for 1 BTC a variety of 17.653 USD for 1 BTC, reaching on January 17, 2018 at 10.333 USD / 1 BTC. At the time we publish this article the price for 1 BTC is 11.367 USD for 1 BTC.
If you are absolutely not familiar with what Bitcoin is, we will tell you briefly. It is a digital value (crypto-currency) non-centralized and intangible. It is present on a volatile market, and the only certainty that this virtual currency will last is the users who use it. Being a peer-to-peer currency, the only guarantor that it will exist is the one who owns it and trades it or uses it.

On the Internet, the environment where this currency came to life, you will find the necessary documentation to help you buy or "dig" for Bitcoin if you wish to do so.

Against the background of the very large increase in the price of Bitcoin, more and more "handlers" appeared, who preferred to obtain Bitcoin, rather than buy it. The problem is that the decryption of Bitcoin assumes high-performance hardware resources Yes in big number. So they started appearing hack scripts on vulnerable sites or in "hack" applications, with the aim of using Mining users' computers.

How can we protect not become victim Bitcoin mining

  1. First of all, the operating system and antivirus be Updated (update) to the latest versions. Antivirus manufacturers constantly update their databases with malicious scripts (malware) that can endanger users.
  2. No access dubious websites that are not reliable.
    Antena3.ro is an example in this sense. For a period of time, antena3.ro visitors were without their knowledge to use mined cryptocurrency, through a script placed in the source code of the portal.
  3. Downloading "hack" applications or "nulled" scripts is again a danger. If you are not an expert in software and programs, you will never know what changes were made to the respective application or script and what is the purpose of these changes.
    Our recommendation is that if you constantly need an application, download it only from the developer/producer's website, use it as much as the "Trial" version allows, and if you need it for more time, it means that it makes all the money. You buy it!

Considering the three points above, minimize the risks of becoming a victim of Bitcoin mining and malware applications.
