CSB warning.
I was speaking at a Blockchain event in a hotel in London in 2015 and had a quantity of cryptocurrency stolen shortly afterwards. After an exhaustive investigation, using a third party security company, it turned out that my macbook had a known Intel vulnerability exploited via the hotel wifi AP and some code was injected into the firmware. This code was used to listen for keystrokes and ultimately used for lifting a private key.
Apart from that, which happened on the road, I receive maybe three attempts a month to get me to click on a malicious link targeted specifically to me as a result of what I do for a living. My security precautions tend to spot two or three attempted remote attacks on my network each month too.
