The best kind of protection against Bitcoin or any other virus is 1. user awareness - No clicking on unknown links or websites, 2. a good antivirus program - make sure to update daily, and 3. daily data backups. If your computer becomes infected, after the virus is removed (don't pay the ransom), your data can be restored using the backups. It's very important to backup your documents, pictures, and music, etc.. everyday.

The Bitcoin virus (also found as the Bitcoins virus or Bit coin) is a term used to identify dangerous malware and cryptoviruses found in the ransomware category of computer infections. Most versions of the Bitcoin virus use tactics to lock a computer system or internet browser and will claim to have encrypted a computer’s files, in order to scare victims into paying a fine or ransom using Bitcoins.

The Bitcoin virus may in fact encrypt a computer’s files and may use a screen or window to display a message that includes unethical instructions to acquire a key (RSA KEY) in order to decrypt files. In some cases there is no way to recover encrypted files locked by this ransomware, aside from performing a backup that was created before the infection.

The good news is that unlike routers for example, many of these IoT devices come with automatic update capabilities, so whenever an issue is found, the vendors can more easily distribute a fix. Veracode has already contacted the affected vendors and at least one of them, Wink, has already issued patches.

This suggests that those who designed these IoT devices assumed that the local area networks they’ll be installed on were secure. That’s an error, because research over the past several years have showed that if there’s anything worse than the security of IoT devices, it’s the security of consumer routers. Security researchers find serious vulnerabilities in routers on a routine basis, most of which enable hackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, and those flaws have resulted in millions of routers being compromised in large-scale attacks over the past few years.

For back-end connections the situation was even worse. Most devices did not employ encryption, did not offer adequate protection against man-in-the-middle attacks and did not protect against replay attacks, which enable man-in-the-middle (MitM) attackers to capture traffic and then play it back, potentially triggering unauthorized actions. In addition, some of the devices did not properly secure sensitive data.

For front-end connections, they found that none of the devices enforced strong passwords. In addition, some of the tested devices did not enforce encryption for user connections, exposing them to possible man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks
