Bitcoin trojan caught in the wild
Since Bitcoin miners have awesome GPUs, malware could use the victim's own GPU to crack their wallet. (And then go back to mining... for the malware owner.)

Bitcoin GPU miners are a quite small subset of Bitcoin users, and they're probably not the least knowledgeable.

Yeah, but from early 2010 when most miners were still using CPUs.
