The person that did this knew they were taking advantage, and basically stealing from Bittrex... and now I will have to replace those funds that no longer exist.

(...)
This was more of an exchange attack...not so much MTR network attack.

Interesting. So if it was SUCCESSFUL attack against Bittrex, why do you have pay for it?

Also, seems like you spread information that Bittrex is vulnerable. Are you sure?

Hello!!!
Is that true Bittrex is vulnerable?

8bit ...

i think EVERY exchange is vulnerable to some extent - although some exchanges are more secure than others ...

look at the dabacle that was mt gox ... no security - no encrypted servers - and from what i have researched - mark even had the time to play games while people were losing their investments ...

security has gone a long way with exchanges since - but NONE of them are invincible ... hackers will always find a vulnerability to hack and that vulnerability will be patched when they hack it ... its just the process of things ...

so far so good though - bittrex cryptsy poloniex and many others have quite secure systems in place ... but as explained - no one exchange or application is ever invincible against talented hackers ... not even nsa or nasa or the fbi or any of the governments of the world ...

vulnerabilities will always be found - always be exposed - and always patched ... who knows when the next one will get hit ...

the only REAL issue that i can see here - is that mtr doesnt have enough nodes on the network to rely on ... that is what we are working on now ...

when the compile issue ( due to the redhat crippling of openssl and ecc - and a few source code issues ) is fixed - there will more nodes online so that this issue wont happen again for the foreseeable future ...

i am donating 3 vps nodes immediately on completion of the compile under centos 7 x64 ( with more to come after that ) - and have pledged that as long as granite vps nodes exist - mtr nodes with granite nodes will also exist ... and will also provide the details ( instructions ) on how to setup more under centos 7 x64 for those that are willing to volunteer vps systems for permanent node activation ...
