Hahaha, nice post, this is a good explanation how secure Bitcoin nowadays is
better get a job or something :D
The actual truth is that anything can be hacked, just some applications are more secure then others. Its easier for a hacker to get the lower hanging fruit then the waste a lot of time trying to get the big job knowing they may or may not get it.
the problem is that you are the real victim of the bitcoin hackers not others, never download a their software because they all contain malware of trojan and infect your computer.
