Bitcoin program vulnerability
some malware also make great use of the parallel computing power of graphics cards. In August 2011, botnet of bitcoin mining was discovered, and Mac OS X infected by Trojan horse was also discovered to mine bitcoin.
on June 19, 2011, security vulnerability of mt.gox (Magic: abbreviation of the gathering online exchange) bitcoin trading center caused the price of 1 bitcoin to drop to 1 cent (although other transactions were not affected). The reason is that a hacker stole the user's mtgox certificate from the computer infected with the Trojan horse, so he transferred bitcoin to his own account and sold it, resulting in a large number of "ask" requests at that price. A few minutes later, mtgox shut down and cancelled the abnormal transactions in the hacking incident, making the price of bitcoin rebound back to $15. In the end, the bitcoin exchange rate went back to what it was before the crash. Accounts equivalent to more than $8750000 were affected
in July 2011, the operator of bitomat, the world's third largest bitcoin trading center, announced the loss of access rights to the wallet.dat file that records 17000 bitcoins (about 220000 US dollars). At the same time, announced the decision to sell services to make up for the loss of users
in August 2011, mybitcoin, one of the processing centers of common bitcoin transactions, announced that it had been attacked by hackers and shut down. Involving 49% of customers' deposits, more than 78000 bitcoins (then equivalent to about $800000) are missing
in early August 2012, bitconica was sued in the San Francisco court for damages of about $460000. In 2012, bitconica was attacked twice by hackers, accused of ignoring the security of customers' funds and forging withdrawal applications
in late August 2012, bitcoin savings and trust was shut down by its owner, leaving about US $5.6 million in debt. At the same time, he was accused of operating the Ponzi scheme. In September 2012, the securities and Exchange Commission began to investigate the case
in September 2012, bitfloor trading center was also hacked, and 24000 bitcoins (about US $250000) were stolen. Bitfloor was suspended. Bitfloor resumed operations in the same month, and its founder said he had reported the theft to the FBI and that he was planning to compensate the victims, but the compensation schele was unclear
in June 2011, a hacker transferred 25000 bitcoins into his account, which is equivalent to 500000 US dollars. The whole transaction could not be traced. Although the owner of bitcoin announced the theft on the Internet, it was useless. The hacker became the first thief of bitcoin
in 2012, 46703 bitcoin worth US $228845 was stolen e to the disclosure of the super management password of the server of the website hosting provider linode. More than 43000 stolen bitcoins belong to bitcoinica, a bitcoin trading platform. Another 3094 bitcoins are owned by Marek palatinus, a Czech programmer. Gavin Andersen, the chief bitcoin programmer, also lost his five bitcoins.
there are basically two kinds of attacks, one is dictionary attack, the other is brute force attack
dictionary attack is to use common passwords and their simple variants as keys one by one. As long as your pass phrase is not hard enough, the possibility of successful attack is very high. So if you want to use this, you need to popularize the knowledge of cryptography first, and don't think it's very safe to add a long password
if you don't use the wallet generated by pass phrase, you can only crack it violently, which is equivalent to enumerating all the possible keys. At present, this is impossible, even if the electronic computer is becoming more and more powerful. However, quantum computer can do it theoretically, but don't worry too much. If such a powerful quantum computer comes out, it will not only endanger bitcoin
at the same time, bitcoin has a second layer of protection: if an address only accepts bitcoin but does not output it, its public key is confidential, that is to say, no one else can see the box, only the box number. At present, the process of decing the box from the box number can't even be done by quantum computer. In other words, if there is a quantum computer, bitcoin has a last line of Defense: it's temporarily safe to transfer your money to a new address
finally, some time ago, the wallet generated by the Android client was attacked because of a bug in the underlying random number generator. In fact, this function is not random securerandom, which Google quickly admitted and fixed. It's hard to say whether this kind of thing will happen again, but I don't think we need to worry too much.
March 25 (Xinhua) Zhong, an employee of an Internet technology company in Haidian District of Beijing, took advantage of his position to steal 100 bitcoins from the company by inserting codes with the permission of the administrator to modify the application program in the company's server. Reporters learned from the 24 people's Procuratorate of Haidian District, Beijing, that the procuratorial organ approved the arrest of the suspect according to the law on suspicion of illegally obtaining the data of computer information system. P>
the prosecutor of the case, Ji Jingling, said that according to the criminal law of the People's Republic of China and the relevant laws and regulations, the suspect, Zhong Mou, violated the state regulations and used technical means to acquire data stored in the computer information system. His behavior had violated the criminal law and was suspected of illegally obtaining data from computer information system. The procuratorial organ has approved the arrest of the suspect Zhong Mou according to law. p>
the law does not prohibit the sale of virtual currency, so it can.
As far as I know, there are probably two ways to obtain bitcoin. One is to use assets such as cash to trade with other bitcoin users. Generally speaking, the value of assets is determined according to the market value of bitcoin. However, the market value of bitcoin fluctuates a lot, and there may be hackers on the trading platform, so there may be some risks in this way
So if you want to get bitcoin by mining, you need a computer with high performance and a lot of manpower to maintain it. All in all, acquiring bitcoin is an investment and needs to be managed reasonably< br />
took a look at the price of bitcoin. The more you get fired, the higher you get
through this loophole, software can be copied infinitely, including information and files in the software
so you should use the housekeeper in time to protect the security of mobile phones, and upgrade the software in time when it needs to be updated
