The integrity of crypto wallets can be compromised on Windows 10

A Microsoft security error was discovered in the latest version of Windows Defender. This flaw allows the installation of malware, which can compromise the integrity of crypto wallets and other sensitive data.

The error, discovered by Windows Latest, appears in version 4.18.2003 Windows Defender. The report reveals that this version does not perform full scans by skipping certain files.

The problem seems to affect only Windows 10 and may not occur during offline scans. In fact, full scans may occur, and Defender is not reporting correctly. Microsoft has not yet resolved the issue.

Integrity of crypto wallets less vulnerable on the mobile phone

This is not the first Windows error that generates security vulnerabilities. Many crypto investors choose to keep their money on smartphones. They tend to have more secure operating systems. For example, iOS has not yet been compromised and no malware has been installed. However, Apple and Android software have been affected. Also, all smartphones can be made unsafe if they are reset (by jailbreak) or modified.

The best security layer is the user

The announcement about Windows Defender underscores the importance of using cryptocurrencies correctly. There are many very secure software portfolios. Vulnerabilities occur when users choose to keep passwords and keys private in unencrypted files.

Experts agree that hardware wallets are the safest means of storing cryptocurrencies and should be used by long-term holders. Investors should also have a clear system for keeping keys, passwords and other related information safe.

After all, blockchain offers total control over their finances, but at the same time it assumes responsibility for their security.
