[QUOTE="brigantes, post: 894189, member: 88084"] You are quoting IT security news click-bait. The people on forums could have configured their wallets incorrectly or incorrectly exposed the address. What you are referring to is not any evidence of what I asked. Please provide 5 reports from credible sources where a hack or malware on a consumer's local system is explicitly attributed to their finances being wiped out... as in their checking and savings accounts, 401K accounts and so on. If it is as you say it is, then you should have no trouble producing such reports. Any quoted reports need to be from credible sources with rigorous journalistic fact checking. Forum and aggregator reports do not count as credible sources as there is no way to establish the veracity of what the parties are saying. My claim about security software is accurate. A person that is penniless does have valuable personal data that can be stolen and used illicit financial gain that shall become the burden of the individual whose identity was stolen. Just because a person watches only Youtube does not mean that they're invulnerable to financial losses, either directly or indirectly. [/QUOTE]
