So the main focus of my post , How to secure your Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency from hackers...........

Cybercrime is increases day by day and govt try to stop cybercrime. but in a Digital World it is not possible 100 %. So try to prevent yourself from cybercrime. and stay away from it.
Bitoin hackers try to aquire bitcoin in illegal way as if hacking exchange platforms to ransomware as well as cryptojacking attacks. Hackers used some software to steal cryptocurrencies as if Bitcoin and Altcoin. From 2017, bitcoin is more popular in world . and because of Bitcoin price touched $20,000 in jan 2018, altcoin also popular in world.
if we talk about users of bitcoin.. Bitcoin gain the trust of users. and every single day lots of users increases and show their interest about cryptocurrency. Multinational Companies also show their interest but some hackers take advantage
from it..
After increasing the user of Bitcoin day by day... right now also , most of its technology has remained unchanged since 2009. Sending coins still requires to remember addresses. when we send Cryptocurrency we use copy paste option.
Reports suggest that hackers have discovered a way to exploit this habit and steal Bitcoins in the process.
Malware Details which is used by the Hackers..........
Hackers know that many Bitcoin users when sending and receiving the BTC, they use copy and paste Bitcoin addresses.
So, they have created a computer malware – "cryptocurrency clipboard hijacker". Usually, this malware monitor between 350,000 and 550,000 addresses at a time. However, Computer has recently uncovered a clipboard hijacker that is monitoring more than 2 million Bitcoin addresses.
Virus was part of the All-Radio 4.27 Portable malware package. If a user unknowingly installed this infected program, a malicious DLL would be added to the person’s registry. This malicious DLL – d3dx11_31.dll creates an autorun program that works in the background and start swapping process.
How the Malware Works...........
Malware first search and detect Bitcoin addresses from our system. Once the malware detect a BTC address, it is swapped for another address owned by the hacker. It seems simple enough. so, there is no way to undo a cryptocurrency transaction once concluded. Since the hackers aren’t stealing funds directly from the wallet, But Many would argue is a security upgrade compared to mainstream network architecture.
It is very difficult to Remember the addresses of all cryptocurrency wallets. and can be a bad thing, as well as a good thing. If Bitcoin address were like userid or password or Email addresses then its very easy to hack that wallet for hackers.
How to Protect Your Bitcoin Transactions or Altcoin Transaction from Hackers.
The first step ......
You need to Installed updated antivirus program which is capable of detecting the presence of such a malware program in your system. The "crypto clipboard hijacker" which is malware program runs in the background so its presence will not affect to the user.
The second step ......
you should always perform checks on addresses before clicking the “send” button. When performing a transaction. before pasting address in the wallet application, copy whatever address shows up and paste it in the notepad. and Manually check both addresses to see that they match. Repeat this step as many times as possible. You can complete the transaction when all the checks are completed.
Thats it........

Resteemeed. This is some good info. I have been hearing about crypto jacking since September 2017. I think the best way to combat it is to just double check the address you are sending funds to or else you might pay the price...
