Google Email Security Leader Showing off Bitcoin on the Internet is risky
Mark Risher head of Google's email security said investors need to rethink the threats to their current e-mail accounts and showing off their own bitcoin on the Internet will make you a target. Risher said that recent attacks on people holding cryptocurrencies in encrypted wallets have increased and these attacks can often be traced back to victims' posts on public message boards and criminals will soon try to attack their email accounts. . The reason is simple. Some cryptocurrency wallet providers allow users to reset access to their wallets via email. Therefore an attacker can open the wallet and steal the cryptocurrency by resetting the email.
