Hackers took my bitcoin

1. bitcoin virus (bitcoin Trojan horse) & quot; Bitcoin blackmailer & quot; It was popular abroad in 2014, and was found in China in early 15 years. This kind of Trojan will encrypt 114 kinds of files in the infected computer, such as docx, PDF, xlsx, JPG and so on, so that it can not be opened normally, and pop up the window & quot; Blackmail & quot; Victim, ask victim to pay 3 bitcoin as & quot; Ransom;, According to the recent price comparison of bitcoin found by the reporter from the Internet, 3 bitcoin is about 5000 yuan or 6000 yuan. This kind of Trojan horse is generally spread through English mail, and the name of the Trojan horse program is usually English, which means & quot; Order & quot& quot; Proct details & quot; And use fax or form icon, which is very confusing. The recipient easily mistakenly thinks that it is a working file and clicks to run the Trojan horse program
in May 2017, computer network virus attacks have spread to 74 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Russia, Spain, Italy, etc.

2. Bitcoin is invented by a hacker. It is generated by a large number of calculations on a computer, rather than issued by an institution. Therefore, bitcoin, as a virtual currency, is universal and its price is not affected by an institution or company. The process of procing bitcoin is the computer's incessant calculation. The process of procing bitcoin has an image called "mining", which is like a physical object. Therefore, its value has been growing, and it is favored by hackers (not only hackers, but also investors). In addition, the transaction of bitcoin is anonymous. If the hacker chooses a bank account, there is a risk of being traced, so the hacker will choose bitcoin for blackmail.

at present, the vast majority of digital currency transactions are concted in exchanges. Among the numerous exchanges, bitfinex, binance, okex and so on are well-known

However, bitcoin and other digital currencies, as decentralized assets, have to be traded in a centralized exchange, which seems to have hidden contradictions and dangers

1. Problems and challenges of stock exchanges=“ //www.yuanxue365.com/en/img_fd039245d688d43fdf16c83b761ed21b0ff43bbf ">

in February 2014, Mt. GOx, the world's largest bitcoin exchange at that time, was stolen 850000 bitcoins, and the price of bitcoin suffered a" cliff "crash on that day. Later, it was revealed that Mt. GOx was in fact a thief, and only 7000 bitcoins were actually stolen

in August 2016, bitfinex, the largest U.S. dollar bitcoin trading platform, suffered a security vulnerability, resulting in the theft of 120000 bitcoins, which was worth $65 million at that time. If converted into the price in December 2017, it would be worth nearly $2 billion

on December 19, 2017, South Korea's youbit exchange was attacked by hackers and lost 4000 bitcoins, and the exchange declared bankruptcy

on December 21, 2017, the Ukrainian liqui exchange was stolen 60000 bitcoins, and the unit price of bitcoin plummeted by US $2000

in 2018, such a drama will only continue

in addition to the threat of hackers, traditional exchanges also have some inherent shortcomings, such as lack of supervision and inefficiency. The security of the exchange for investors can only rely on its own credit, and the cost of running is very low. The stock exchange is regulated at the national level, but there is no such sword of Damocles on the top of the digital currency exchange. Moreover, in an exchange, the same order can only be submitted to one exchange. After the user places an order, the funds used for the transaction will be frozen and can only wait for the completion or cancellation of the transaction. These are undoubtedly inefficient

All in all, the problems of exchanges are the problems of centralization

2. Decentralization of exchanges=“ //www.yuanxue365.com/en/img_86d6277f9e2f070889a173c9e224b899a801f257 ">

(1) the progress of the exchange itself

the upgrade of security means is various. At present, the best use is cold wallet, that is, to keep the digital currency in the offline U disk. At the end of 2017, when the YouTube exchange was attacked, 75% of its assets were withdrawn into the cold purse in time to avoid greater losses. However, it seems to be a helpless way to protect the online assets by offline means. Of course, there should be many other methods, which will not be repeated here

(2) the representative of cross ledger transaction is ripple network, and the operating company is ripple labs, which is a semi centralized system. Ripple is a decentralized clearing agreement. In order to solve the high cost and delay of inter-bank clearing, its base currency is XRP. Ripple network can connect all kinds of assets, such as US dollar, RMB, Japanese yen, bitcoin, etc. to its own network. In this system, U.S. dollars or bitcoin can be converted into reborn currency, and then reborn currency can circulate freely in the network, just as a highway is built between various assets. Due to the support of major banking institutions, the reborn currency achieved nearly 300 times growth in 2017

(3) decentralized exchange

some teams try to use blockchain technology to build a decentralized exchange. This kind of decentralized exchange, to some extent, is an extension of cross ledger trading

bitshares is the most representative of early rising projects. It builds a blockchain development platform with servers scattered all over the world. Even if some of them are attacked, the system will not collapse. Anyone can transfer money and borrow money freely on this platform, and can also quickly build a centralized exchange based on this platform. In order to ensure stable value, bitstocks also require three times of digital assets as collateral. At present, bitstocks are running fairly well

later, with the development of Ethereum and smart contract, the x x protocol came into being. This is an open protocol running in the Ethereum blockchain and a decentralized exchange in the Ethereum ecosystem. The agreement has attracted many investors. At present, it has completed financing and started to build open source software tools and infrastructure. Of course, there are many competitors. Ether Delta, IDEX and oasis DEX are trying to provide similar functions. Moreover, it is a smart contract system based on Ethereum, which only supports erc20 token. If other smart contract public chains start to rise, the demand will be reced

in addition, there are some teams that are entering, such as the domestic road seal agreement, looping (LRC) in English. They adopted a design similar to the X protocol, and also introced a fast payment function similar to the lightning network. It is characterized by trying to match multiple exchanges, the user's order can be broadcast to multiple exchanges, and completed by different exchanges. Moreover, the user can still use the account funds after placing an order, and the user's behavior of transferring part or all of the funds is equivalent to partial or total cancellation. To some extent, it improves the breadth and timeliness of the transaction. However, this system seems to have damaged the "power" of the existing exchanges. Whether we can persuade everyone to play together will be a difficult problem

At present, there is still a long way to go for the construction of decentralized exchange. In 3-5 years, traditional exchange will still be the main battlefield of digital currency

However, in the future, it is worth looking forward to let the decentralized digital currency get rid of the shackles of centralization

There are several reasons as follows:

1. Foxconn was blackmailed by hackers for 1804 bitcoins. Foxconn's response is not a big problem< p> According to media reports, Foxconn was attacked by hackers who asked for 1804 bitcoins. For a while, everyone wanted to know what Foxconn would do, so Foxconn said, "it's not a big problem, it's being dealt with "

3. Bitcoin is a global currency< p> One of the most powerful aspects of bitcoin is that it can be used in any country. You don't have to worry about not being able to spend it or buy anything. In addition, bitcoin will increase in value at any time, will not shrink all of a sudden, it is not worth money

in a word, according to the above analysis, the advantage of bitcoin to hackers is that they only need bitcoin< otherwise, if you take other money, you will have to spend your life

5. 1. Every server has a database backup, and some of them are backed up on other databases or other mobile hard disks. If hackers attack, they can recover
2. If you don't have a backup, you have to call the police
3. Contacting hackers without permission can't recover data, and they will only sink deeper and deeper
4. Pay attention to more backup and multiple ways in the future, and the daily responsibilities of the administrator should also be managed by someone.

6. At present, there is an unpopular way to use bug to get your character into the wall, so that you won't be attacked by monsters, but you can't get out. If you insist on going to three-layer mining, the best way is to form a team to go down mining together

7. Evgeniy
Mikhailovich
bogachev, the author of the "bitcoin blackmailer" Trojan family, is a Russian hacker, ranking second on the list of the top ten most wanted hackers by the FBI and the leader of a cyber criminal group.

8. According to the analysis of 360 security center, the campus network blackmail virus was spread by the "eternal blue" hacker weapon leaked by NSA“ "Eternal blue" can remotely attack the 445 port (file sharing) of windows. If the system does not install the Microsoft patch in March this year, it does not need any user operation. As long as it turns on the Internet, "eternal blue" can execute any code in the computer and implant malicious programs such as blackmail virus.

9. It's a kind of electronic virtual currency, because it's limited issue according to the algorithm, so it's expensive. He is the originator of virtual currency
because there are related instries in China, there are related websites to exchange RMB

10. The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items< On February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that relevant institutions would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency
from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees.
