there is a Trojan horse in "mining tools"
How could Li's bitcoin disappear? 360 security engineer contacted him and tested Michael's "mining tool", and found that this tool is a very popular "bitcoin robber" Trojan horse this year.

the nature of bitcoin is that it cannot solve cases
bitcoin (bitcoin: bitcoin) was originally a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals.
Bitcoin is a kind of virtual commodity. In recent years, the price of bitcoin has been soaring. Recently, after more than three months of investigation, the Public Security Bureau of Zhongyuan Oilfield in Henan Province successfully cracked the first case of bitcoin theft in China
on July 27 this year, the Public Security Bureau of Zhongyuan Oilfield in Henan Province received an alarm from Wu, a resident under his jurisdiction, saying that he had lost more than 3.4 million yuan worth of bitcoin in his Internet wallet. Wu is a professional investor and has been investing in bitcoin since 2016. In early 2017, he was drawn into a wechat group of bitcoin investors
the victim Wu: at the end of the day, he said he was also responsible. Although he said that he taught me to lose my coin, he was also kind-hearted. He said that he would compensate me for 10 (bitcoin), saying that he could only bear his part of the responsibility. Later, he used Alipay to transfer money to me. If it had nothing to do with him, how could he casually accompany others for more than 100000, not a small number
after cracking the password stealing software, the police arrested the suspect
after preliminary investigation, the police determined that Dai, the leader of wechat group, was suspected of committing a major crime. On August 9 this year, the police controlled Dai in Shanghai. In Dai's home, the police found 27 bank cards and multiple computers. In one computer, as like as two peas, the police found a net wallet software that was exactly the same as the victim's use. p>
it turns out that Dai is proficient in software programming. After cracking the downloaded genuine wallet software, he adds a program to transmit user name and password to steal bitcoin. Once someone deposits bitcoin in the E-wallet, he will know the other party's account name and password, and transfer bitcoin in the E-wallet. He distributed the stolen bitcoin in hundreds of network wallets, transferred it back and forth, and sold it at a low price on the trading platform after confirming its security. In this way, Dai has committed three crimes involving more than 20 million yuan. At present, the police have found out Dai's account and frozen it, recovering more than 2 million yuan of stolen money
