Almost every week an account being hacked.

Back to the game, still on $4300 and no ATH.

I still can't fathom how they did it. I only signed in from one device. The password was stored in Chrome's manager and on my desktop, and that's it. I had a Chrome extension that wasn't properly vetted, but then I'd have thought they'd try and access my trade accounts, but nope, just Bitcointalk. It does makes me wonder if this site is compromised.

Anyway, back to up, up, up. Congrats to all hodlers. Cool

Yup, maybe the password file was accessed somehow. A password of ONLY DIGITS (even if 9) can be quickly cracked.... or you got phished/XSS'd.

SMF, and this forum in particular, is not the summun of security anyways.

Congrats to you too! Smiley

well sure, but... WHY? i mean, how the heck are they expecting to profit?


It seems Legendary accounts are worth to them to join signature campaigns, airdrops, bounties and all that shit. Not that they are gonna profit insanely though. Or none at all.

When my account was hacked about a year ago, the hacker immediately went to attempting to make several deals.

Cyprus locked my account within about 12 hours, but the hacker had nearly finalized a few deals (through my account and through my credibility - but was not able to pull it off, because of Cyprus's quick action to lock my account due to "suspicious activities" after the hack.  I saw a few messages in my PMs.
