Hacked

I was hacked. Possible many others have been alsoFound multiple random connections that trace back to Japanese companies(the web shows they had been hacked & Alps alpine has government contracts possibly????). The devices didn't have any information besides Mac addresses. A couple unknown devices, a couple phones, an Gen 1 Honda and I would bet others I don't know about. I bet they have ransomware in my firmware. I sold it all pulled my money out of the exchanges and have ordered a new phone already. On tradingview an random chart showing EGLD shorts had shown up.... Wtf Be safe if they get a hold of your stuff it can be terrible. Wasn't worried about anything but now with mutiple ships hitting bridges... It is time to risk off and or to use the ETF trading I feel. This sucks but it would suck more to have it all taken from me. Be safe PROTECT YOURSELF!! NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!

🔥🔻GALA DESTROYED? The hacker minted 56B of GALA coins❗🔥Hi friends! Bad news for GALA. According to some reports, unknown persons have minted ~55.6 billion pGALA synthetic tokens worth up to $2.2 billion through the PancakeSwap decentralized exchange (DEX). ✅ The hacker managed to sell only 12,977 BNB, which he bought for printed GALA. The total "profit" is $4-5 million. 📊 First of all I should say that GALA wasn't hacked because it based on ETH blockchain. The hackers attacked the pGALA coins which is used on the PancakeSwap.This information confirm the President of Blockchain of Gala Games. ✅Also GALA wasn't hacked due to the official Twitter account of GALA Games. I think they mean tockens on the exchanges that based on the ETH blockchain. 📊 SO WHY THE PRICE OF GALA DUMPED? The coin price fall because of the panic and arbitrage of some market players. Huobi exchange decided to delist the coin because the arbitrageurs collapsed the price by almost -80-90%. 🚩 On Binance, the coin fell by -34%🔻, but the exchange blocked the withdrawal/deposit to avoid the manipulation with price. 📊 WILL GALA CONTINUE TO DUMP? So as you all understand now, the price DUMP based not only on the hacker attack but because of the panic and arbitrageurs. I think that in a few days the price return to it's previous conditions. I recommend to check my latest idea on GALA. The price already make +42-45% from our entry point. I hope my subscribers book the profit and close the part of position in the breakeven. I think that we can left the same targets. The main task for now is to find the best entry point for long positions. Of course, look at the BITCOIN to choose the direction of altcoins movements. If BTC is bullish, all altcoins is bullish too. 🚩 FUN FACT. In addition to the fact that Bitcoin finally started its growth, October was a record month for the number of hacks. During the month, hackers stole almost $657.2 million in crypto. Now we can call October not only Uptober but Hacktober. Traders, do you sell or buy GALA on this DUMP? What will happen to GALA in upcoming days? Write your thoughts in the comments. 💻Friends, press the "boost"🚀 button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU. P.S. Personally, I open an entry if the price shows it according to my strategy. Always do your analysis before making a trade.

North Korea May Be Behind AXS/RON HackFrom the Wall Street Journal: "U.S. law enforcement linked the Lazarus Group, an online crime syndicate connected to the North Korean government, to the $540 million hack of the online game Axie Infinity last month. The theft, infiltrating the network upon which the game is run, was one of the largest in the 13-year history of cryptocurrencies. The perpetrators stole 173,600 ether and 25.5 million of the stablecoin USD Coin, or USDC, worth about $540 million at the time of the attack." www.wsj.com

Hacked? The Problem With Cross-Chain Tokens and PlatformsLately there has been an increase in hacking activities in crypto and Web3 related projects as whole, as hackers target smaller projects and platforms to siphon money out of vulnerable systems. To be clear, none of the major protocols or coins has EVER been breached - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Tezos, etc. The protocol has always been safe, and decentralized. But individual projects and platforms (including DAOs and DeFis) might be vulnerable. Crypto projects get hacked in two main ways: 1) For efficiency/speeds, crypto projects built on top of certain blockchains often have to be centralized to some extent in order to get the results needed. This often leads to vulnerabilities that can be targeted by hackers (ex. 1 login/password that gives the intruder access to everything). 2) 51% attacks - if the hackers are willing to front enough money to own 51%+ of the tokens, they can use that leverage to basically control the whole blockchain for their own purposes at any time. This gets more difficult as the network grows (since it becomes more expensive to reach 51%+) but smaller blockchain projects are vulnerable to these types of attacks since it requires much less resources than trying to target larger networks. (The major coins out there are basically impossible to 51% attack at this point.) Because Web3 projects is still in its early stages at this point, breaches like these may become more commonplace and people may end up losing a lot of money if they're not careful. Buyer beware, either way. According to Vitalik, the solution to this problem is Maximalism a "healthy intolerance" of other forms of thinking.

PSA: Beware of "Zombie Chains" - ETC, MIOTABitcoin, Ethereum, and most of the projects out there have never had their protocol compromised. There are a few exceptions -- the biggest ones being Ethereum Classic (ETC) and MIOTA. ETC had their protocol compromised by a 51% attack, MIOTA's system is most likely not even a real blockchain, after being audited by the MIT Technology Review. But we call them "zombie chains" because the blockchain allows for these projects to persist, even though it's dead.

Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is the billionaire's coin.QRL is a project that not too many people are familiar with despite being around so long. The team has been building the first and ONLY quantum resistant cryptocurrency for a few years now. Many people have commented that BTC and other coins can retrofit - that's not a solution! You need a chain which has been designed right from the start so the whole chain is resistant. NIST in the United States has basically verified their approach and now there's recent news that quantum computing can happen on a silicon chip. HUGE news. The whole world of quantum computing was just disrupted while many were sleeping. QRL holders will be the next millionaires and billionaires (depending on how much you own)! This will be THE HEDGE for BTC. Time will tell and so will the markets. If and when there's a black swan event with BTC, all smart capital will flow into QRL and it will be the new de-facto chain. It's a matter of when not if. Some whales are waking up but it's only the beginning... Tale of the tape - have a look now and figure out a way to buy it if you want your money to be safe under the most advanced encryption available to human beings at this stage in world history. Sounds dramatic! It is.

End of the run for BITCOIN. Sit down and watch the correction!Dear traders. You all know how bullish I am for the long term in the whole crypto market. The last days I saw some really heavy selling pressure when Binance and Coinbase were approaching $6000, but the market recovered really well. Then the Binance 40M hack happened. The reason why I'm 100% bear for the next 3/4 days is really clear. 1) WEAKNESS OF ALTCOINS. Great news both for Ethereum and Litecoin, look at what happened to their prices. 2) ENORMOUS RESISTANCE at $6000, it HAS to correct before break it. Bullish whales want to buy low and fuel it back later, while bears don't want $6000 to break. 3) TECHNICAL: Look at the well-defined uptrend that bitcoin followed up to now, and the weakness that it's showing. 4) TRIANGULATION: in the short term we need to break out from this triangulation, and the outcome will be to the downside. But our trade is not on BITCOIN, is on the altcoins, that will suffer even if bitcoin would break $6000. So we shorted BCH, LTC and ETH, leverage 3.3x on Bitfinex (tether is slowly appreciating too). Yes, BFCMInvest has a big short position to the market right now. Will you follow us? Let us know in the comments

CTXS: Don't Use Weak PasswordsWell, news broke Friday that CTXS got hacked due to the use of weak passwords, and they had to get told by the FBI that it's been going on for months and they didn't even know. Expect a number of days of strong downward action in this bearish breakout market environment. From the chart, some traders have already started pricing the news in, and I'm going to open a short position on Monday before I miss the train leaving the station. All technical indicators are showing that the market has begun to respond to the news, and it's only a matter of time before your cab driver starts talking about it.

Canadian Exchange "Hacked," all funds "gone."Imagine logging on to your exchange platform, a place where you sought refuge from the impending market crash , to find that the site is gone. To find your funds, your BTC , ETH..... what have you - is gone. Maplechange is the name of the exchange that Hackers took down just in the past few hours. Your 2fa didn't help, neither did your 12 digit, cryptic password, because they took down the exchange itself. There are folks out there whom at this moment are wishing they hadn't sought refuge there. Who are trying to figure out where there reserve for times of hardship have gone. People left with even more uncertainty and even less money with which to ride out the impending crash. Hackers are in a continual tug of war. Code makers and code breakers as it were , have actually been struggling with one and other for centuries , but in this computer age - with the tools available to a hacker it seems the scales have tilted towards the code breakers , at least for today. MapleChange had some 2,000 followers on Twitter. That measure is not a very reliable metric, but at least 2,000 people trying to make a profit in this market , as hard as it is already , have lost what for many likely constitutes a large portion of their savings, if not all of it. There is no FDIC in Canada, and with varying levels of de-centralization across the crypto spectrum, there is little hope of those funds ever finding their way back to their rightful owners. MapleChange , according to the news at least , is apparently broke. Bank records will only be written proof of loss, of theft. Look to Palladium - this precious metal is inside likely every electronic device you own , and in those to follow. No hacker can go and steal all of it. Shelter from the Storm. Never forget how easily your digital assets can be taken from you. "Sim Jacking" is a practice all too common , where compromised phone numbers are made available to hackers on the darkweb. It's how 2fa ends up failing. If you remain in crypto - vet your exchange well. Blockchain , a well known site that provides a wallet service amongst many others, is a great place to test a password, as they estimate how long your password would take to hack as you create it. Caveat emptor.

SYS hacked and sold on Binance!Coin of the day is SysCoin What is SysCoin The primary product of the Syscoin team is Blockmarcket, a blockchain powered marketplace "where you can securely and reliably buy and sell any items you wish". They position themselves as a future competitor to Amazon and eBay. Syscoin offers a set of technologies: a global network, a distributed ledger, a decentralized database and a blockchain. Attack Yesterday Syscoin was hit by an unusual hack that has manipulated the coin’s total supply. The attackers then sent the fraudulently generated coins to Binance and sold them, pushing the price of 1 SYS to as high as 96 BTC. The BTC they received was then withdrawn, prompting Binance to cease trading temporarily and to reset all APIs, which are believed to have facilitated the attack. On Thuesday Syscoin blockchain is reported to be severely compromised. Binance and Syscoin Twitter feeds was pointing towards a Syscoin attack. “We are investigating a possible issue on the Syscoin blockchain, nothing is confirmed but we have asked for exchanges to halt trading while we investigate.” The most probable scenario of the attack includes stolen API’s which was used to buy-out the whole order book of SysCoin on Binance, and even pushed the price up to the 96 BTC. User CRNBTC on Twitter noted that one of Binance’s hot wallets have become active again. He said: “7000BTC moved out of @binance hot wallet after the syscoin api pump. binance has not issued any withdrawals since.” Binance CEO CZ promised a full post-mortem after the exchange re-enabled trading on Wednesday morning. In an incident recap, Binance has promised to rollback irregular trades and offer zero-fee trading to irregular trading. The exchange tweeted the news accompanied by the #SAFU hashtag, in reference to a rising crypto meme spawned by a previous CZ typo in which he assured users that “funds are safu”. In March, Binance was hit by a similar API-based attack, on that occasion using Viacoin. Using compromised APIs, the attackers set ridiculously high sell orders on the victims’ accounts, dump their illicitly obtained crypto on them and then cash out. Decentraland’s MANA cryptocurrency also soared dramatically on Binance in a move that’s believed to be linked to the Syscoin API attack. Technicals There is no need to describe how SYSBTC price looks on the Binance chart. However, this situation triggered bots, which uses price differences among exchanges to get profit, this bots raised the price on Bittrex as well, not to 96 BTC though. The price spike pinched the 0.000055 level and then returned to the 0.000034 – 0.00004 zone. An overall pattern still looks like a rebound from the Bullish Trend Line and stays positive for now with support at the 0.00003 level and Bullish Trend Line and resistances at 0.00004 and 100-days EMA.

Binance hacked? Price manipulation being prepared? Whats up?As you may have observed, trading on Binance wasn't working today for several hours ("maintenance purposes"). Now in the Binance app I see this message, one hour old: "Fellow Binancians, Due to a warning from a pre-trade check in our risk management system, we will postpone the start of trading and withdrawals. Please stay tuned for more information regarding the reopening of trading and withdrawals. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Thanks for your support! Binance Team" What is going on? Warning, risk management?? Are they being hacked, or are big whales depositing a lot and getting ready for big move? Is some market manipulation being prepared? What is going on? This doesnt make me feel safe very much. Thanks and best regards! Tomas 2018/06/26

What really happenedSome people already know this but I'm going to post this anyway cause I know ya'll curious why price is going down. So just moments ago tether announced they have lost 30 million usdt to external "hacker". Prior to this incident there were sources reporting Bitfinex got cut off by the banks and when their users requested withdrawl from the exchange, they couldn't pay them. So they allegedly used the printed tether to prop the prices of BTC to attract people into buying BTC and using the new deposits to pay for those withdrawls they couldn't earlier. I cannot say there is definite proof of this yet but this is the story out there in case people are curious. I also can't say this will have any impact on BTC but just a word of caution trade with what the market indicates don't FUD or FOMO. Trade safe!
