Un VPN pour les crypto-monnaies

Cryptocurrency is now the best-preferred mode for financial exchanges over the internet. Despite various hurdles such as fluctuations, cryptocurrency provides the most secure means of exchange as it involves several encryptions. Most people like cryptocurrency because it’s anonymous since it’s decentralized (meaning no central bank controls your funds) and you can transact from one user to another without using intermediaries.

The most commonly used cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. Bitcoin uses blockchain technology – transactions are recorded in a public ledger and verified cryptographically by various nodes in the network. This blockchain technology makes it hard to steal or forge bitcoins as you have to hack all the nodes in the network which is an impossible task due to the encryptions involved.

Outre les crypto-monnaies et la sécurité qu'elles impliquent, vous avez peut-être entendu dire que des millions de crypto-monnaies ont été volées ici et là. Il s'agit d'une vulnérabilité dans les portefeuilles et les plateformes d'échange en ligne. Comme les pirates ne peuvent pas s'introduire dans les chaînes de blocs, ils profitent de ces échanges pour voler les fonds d'utilisateurs qui ne se doutent de rien. La meilleure chose est aussi la pire chose dans les crypto-monnaies : l'anonymat. Une fois que les fonds ont été volés sur votre compte, vous ne pouvez pas les retrouver.

Risques liés à la sécurité des crypto-monnaies

Outre la vulnérabilité des bourses, voici quelques risques de sécurité liés aux crypto-monnaies ;

  • ICO fraud – Initial coin offering is a source of capital for cryptocurrency startups. This capital is in the form of other cryptocurrencies. At times, some deals might be fake and can result in loss of your funds.
  • Fausses bourses d'échange - Certaines bourses sont créées dans le seul but de voler vos fonds puisque vous les donnez librement. Veillez toujours à ce que votre bourse d'échange soit réputée.
  • Hackable offline wallets – As much as you might want to avoid online, some offline wallets have been known to be hackable. Trojans such as Pony loader have been known to identify offline wallets and then steal from them.
  • Cryptojacking - Cette forme de risque de sécurité implique que des acteurs malveillants détournent vos appareils et utilisent leurs ressources, telles que l'unité centrale, pour extraire de la crypto-monnaie. Cela ralentit considérablement les performances de votre système. Cela se fait généralement par l'intermédiaire de scripts de minage de logiciels malveillants.
  • Phishing attacks – Even cryptocurrencies are not immune to these old evolving attacks. According to Coin telegraph, a phishing attack on Electrum Wallet stole almost $1million worth cryptocurrency in one hour.

Un VPN peut-il vous protéger contre les risques liés à la sécurité des crypto-monnaies ?

A VPN can protect you against various cryptocurrency security risks but not all. Due to the strong encryptions involved, a VPN can help you against some phishing attacks and crypto jacking in which the mining malware is injected using free public Wi-Fi. A VPN will encrypt your internet traffic, and this will make it invisible to prying eyes, and hence it won’t be intercepted or susceptible to prying eyes.

A VPN can also help you carry out cryptocurrency transactions in areas where there’s heavy government surveillance. Besides the encryptions, a VPN assigns you a virtual IP address which masks your real IP and hence hides your location.
