I know it sounds silly (not), but with the increase in value of Bitcoin and Ethereum it appears that the thieves/hackers out there are trying to find as many wallets as they can. According to several security researchers there is a significant increase in scanning for wallets on the internet. Most of you practice good internet hygiene when it comes to protecting your wallets, but for those of you who aren't, you better watch out.
"I've seen a couple of such requests a couple of years ago, but it's the first time I see that many," Stevens said, impressed by the scale of the scan. "The first time I observed this was late 2013, in the middle of the first big BTC price rally."
