The crypto-currency exchange Cryptoine was violated and as everything shows his cash reserves emptied. Managers blame a programming error rather than a full-scale cyber attack.
The Cryptоine service was accessible only via Tor and made transactions with 34 different types of cryptocurrency. Despite the special attention shown by administrators adding all the key security features - secure SSL connections, two-factor authentication, in a decentralized environment - the Cryptoine it was just the next exchange that was violated.
On Wednesday morning, the company published the violation on its website, which is currently not working, according to ZDNet. She apologized and said that this week, an attack that lasted about seven hours, plundered the system and emptied all of Cryptóine's purses. Online pillaging storage facilities included Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin among others.
However, the company claims that the robbers did not enter the system with a hack. Instead, Cryptoine admitted that they exploited a bug in the trading machine that allowed them to manage the funds as they wished.
"The hacker discovered an error in our trading machine that allowed him to change orders and give false balances," the administrators said.
So Cryptoine insists that there was no breach, that they did not personally leak data διέρρευσαν, και δεν υποκλάπηκαν τα ιδιωτικά κλειδιά των Wallets.
But the victims are the users of Cryptoine. The company states that "the losses are irreversible" and that Bitcoins, Litecoins, Urocoins, Dogecoins, Bitcoinscrypts, Magi and Darkcoins have been stolen.
The exchange is currently closed, and Cryptoine's latest proposal was "goodbye to the entire crypto community." She also said in a statement that "they will only be closed for a few months for a break, and that" we will be stronger and more experienced than before. "
In this case we will have to believe the "words" of Cryptoine, that is a villain user whoever found the security loophole got it all. For the sake of "truth" the company published a screenshot that "proves" the theft, showing according to the administrators the malicious user in action.
Please also mention that Cryptoine avoided disclosing more details about the exact amount of money they have received.
