Has there been any word on if anyone will get coins back from pooljunkie?
So cryptopools is down. Though I would explain the funnyness of it.
1.They come back up and push that they back on track and ready to go.
2. The stop payouts because of possible brute force attacks (this means noone can withdraw ANY coins)
3. Site goes down, obviously there efforts to stop the brute force failed miserably.
4. Whoever did get to hack them got the chance to steal every single coin mined because the pool STOPPED PAYOUTS.
So either the pool is extremely wealthy at this moment, or with there stopping of withdrawals, have made some hacker very wealthy.
Indeed they were compromised somehow, because when I logged in the Payment address I had was different than the one for my wallet, in fact it was two address that stole from my account there. They stole est. 0.00000502, however cryptopools managers were able to get me 0.00000402 of that back.
In fact it was I who called attention to the thefts. It was either call attention to it or continue letting some ass-hat steal peoples coins.
I have a feeling the multiple DDoS attacks on several of the pool ops are actually attempts to compromise the pools to get in and steal coins, change deposit addresses, etc. I would keep an eye on any mining accounts on any pools you have that are mining 42.
