I thought I might start a list of online articles about Cryptopia's most recent hack and theft of funds.  The main thread for Cryptopia can be found here: Cryptopia Cryptocurrency Platform Services and Development was started by TripleHeXXX - That thread is the main Cryptopia thread, this is a thread for online articles concerning the hack and theft in 2019.

It is a security issue.

Given how long ongoing discussions about Mt Gox and Cryptsy etc have gone on for, I am formatting the page into monthly sections.  Feel free to post your links found using the form below:

Investigations have put the loss (theft) at upwards of $13Million US$ - in post number three I have attempted to gather together the various amounts into a concise table (and it's a work in progress)

Totals in post #3:

Total Stolen (identified by elementus.io) - $15,951,237
Total Stolen (known - identified above LTC etc) - $ 943,660

Total Frozen (known) - $59.54 (in $USD) PLUS
Total Frozen (known) - BTC 372.54 ~ $1,459,270.07


Total (hot/cold) uncertain - BTC 313.6 ~ $ 1,156,855.96

equates to

$ 8,644,779.19 USD worth of Crypto confirmed as being on Cryptopia at the time of hack and theft. (Note, this is not the confirmed amount of stolen funds, see above)


Neither Lafu nor myself are employees of Cryptopia. Nor are we authorized to make any statements on their behalf.  There is no official representation of Cryptopia on Bitcointalk as they only consider discord and twitter as official media channels.

As a client of the exchange I probably have more $ at risk than most.

You are correct that their staff have instructed not to make any statements. Most are on leave as the offices are considered a crime scene.

A reminder that Lafu and xtraelv are not employees of Cryptopia http://archive.fo/bq7DY#selection-5393.0-5401.139 and as such please limit the number of enquiries you make to them as they cannot respond to individual requests for information.



I'm not sure I'll include twitter / facebook etc posts, but am happy to include links to any offsite support groups.
