Sylvia Ng (General Manager of SEA Kaspersky Lab) said the bitcoin value makes the bitcoin malware samples wider and increasing day by day. In addition to malware, cyber criminals also offer services and illegal products on the web.
"We found trojans and botnets in Bitcoin mining and using mobile devices like Loapi or other sophisticated threats with mining capabilities," he said in a press release on Friday.
The attack made BitFloor stop operating in 2012 and the attacker managed to infiltrate the server and steal the virtual currency worth USD250.000 or about Rp3, 5 billion.
The largest virtual currency exchange in Japan Coincheck also conceded a virtual money worth USD530 million or around Rp7.1 trillion.
Tips to secure virtual currency from the actions of cyber criminals attacks

> Use the bitcoin wallet offline service such as Electrum or Armory that lets you store virtual currency in a strongly encrypted safe on your own hard drive.
> Do not forget to use a strong password and keep this wallet offline on a separate hard drive or a computer that is not connected to the Internet.
