Hi all,
As some of you may know we have been releasing reports discussing security incidents within the Bitcoin/Altcoin/Crypto Currency communities for some time now and we unveil to the community our latest report:
https://bitcomsec.true.io/bitcomsec/tracking-a-bitcoin-thief-part-ii/It discloses what happened to MidasCoin, who was involved in the original hack of its servers, and ultimately who stole the rest of the MIDs to collapse the market (its founder).
You can also read our post-hack audit report of their servers at:
https://pdf.yt/d/frMzLRBnwbna725zThe story in a gist:
- The guy responsible for the CryptoRush hack was also involved in attacking MultiPool.us accounts back in early January (CSRF attacks)
- He hacked CryptoRush.in and stole most of users BTC and altcoins
- We tracked down his stash server where he stored most of his stolen goods (wallets, login databases of miners/traders/users)
- We discovered he was actively attacking MidasCoin.io/Pool and was able to stop him
- We were hired by MidasCoin to do an audit of the compromise
- Owner of MidasCoin spooks and instead of dealing with consequences of disclosure to community simply runs off with 200k+ MIDs and crashes market
Unfortunately he stole from the community, its miners and traders and simply vanished. We put together a good report with logs and evidence to back it all up.
