I know who's been hacking btce accounts, but I have no proof. My ripples were recently stolen, funds from another ripple address were emptied into the attackers account as well. The other ripple account can be linked to user darkneo. He is probably a victim as well. He has an account here and at btce. So I'm assuming the exploit happened at one of those sites. Btce, hotmail and ripple.com were the only places I used that password. I think someone stole my credentials from BTCE. There were a string of thefts at btce months ago so I left the exchange. The rumors back then was that it was antichat.ru hackers posting malicious links.

After my funds were stolen, I wondered why the attacker didn't bother reading my posts saying that I was about to purchase a large number of xrp. I started to ponder if the attacker might not speak english. keep in mind that btce is based in russia and so is antichat.ru website.

On a hunch. I decided to check the russian part of ripple.com/forum for someone asking to sell xrp. Sure enough. User Andreipup posted in russian that he wanted to sell xrp. He wrote that he had been trying for 3 days. The exact amount of days since the theft. He wrote that getting them was easy but what to do with them? But the address he had posted on his account was empty. He has signed up for no giveaways. How did he get the ripples so easily but he doesn't know what to do with them?

A quick google search of andreipup lead to his account at antichat.ru russian hacking website, where I found threads he participated in relating to ip scanning, trojans, antivirus, credit card theft ect. He even posted in one thread where another user has taken pictures of himself using a bank machine in the middle of the night wearing gloves to mask the fingerprints. idiots lol.

I know it was him but I know there is not much I can do. I figured I should come say this here though. I only lost $3-4 grand. Others have lost tens of thousands from this hacker. I have his real name.  Rustam Avday or Avday Rustam
