eMark cannot be stolen from the network by attacks on the eMark system. However, attacks on the user himself can lead to the loss of his own eMark. Once an attacker gets hold of a private key to an eMark address, he also has access to the eMark credit associated with it.
An attacker can gain this access, for example, through malware or viruses that can spy on or copy the "wallet.dat" file. Likewise, by accessing the computer itself (e.g. via WLAN), by "hacking" online storage devices such as Dropbox or iCloud (if private keys are stored there), or even by using fake wallets (fakes) that are modeled on the original.
Each user is therefore responsible for protecting his or her private keys, e.g. by encrypting the "Wallet.dat" file with a secure password that protects it from unauthorized access.
