to prevent private key leakage
As a friendly format of wallet private key, mnemonics are very convenient for you to backup and import. Because of its plaintext, we do not recommend that it be saved electronically, but copied and kept on physical media. As a al backup, mnemonics and keystore complement each otherand keystores can be stored online, such as cloud disk, or in their own U disk (hardware wallet takes advantage of this), which is relatively safer than online storage. Even if hackers steal your keystores, they can't steal the assets without the password of the keystores, so the password of the keystores is particularly important at this time
loss prevention
the main loss prevention strategy is multiple backup, multiple backup. For example, when backing up a wallet, not only the keystore, but also the mnemonic words and private key should be backed up. This is a multiple backup
1. A stolen bitcoin can't be retrieved, and if it's lost, it's lost.
2. Bitcoin has transaction records, but the address is hidden, and you can't find an indivial.
3. Every bitcoin has a key, and only if you have this key can you be admitted to own bitcoin. However, if bitcoin is stolen or lost, your bitcoin will disappear completely
therefore, the theft of bitcoin does not belong to cracking, it may be e to internal personnel.
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
