Topic: 10000 PIVX STOLEN - page 4. (Read 6585 times)

if you did not install anything lately, it's impossible for the hacker to hack your computer, he can't simply target your computer, i think you installed something malicious and now forgot about it, don't install anything from the web without running it in sandbox first or in virtual machine, or put all your treasure in another mahcine

It appears the hacker theif is stealing more money each day....

http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/address.php?address=DC2zB4fnzEaYyjc4SbzVgJSxAXUtK4Vk6Y

It's unlikely. I usually don't believed in this altcoins hack a bit. Probably some kind of glitch on your computer part.
If you hire someone to install masternode or something like that then, yes.

Highly likely there is a hacker on slack targeting masternodes



Pivx should really enable 2FA ASAP.

I have spoken to s3v3nh4acks  the lead developer of PIVX

He says

How it happened?? You ha e a trojan on your system... no other way to do what u say happened, unless u dis it yourself or someone else had physical access to your system.
It isn't a bug, but if u think so, then you find it, show me provable and repeatable evidence and i will replace your funds... but you are wasting your time.

Which I replied with if I find evidence of a hack I'll buy another masternode!

Upon conclusion
Very big coincidence that this Happend while setting up masternode and was told to unlock my wallet.
When it comes to money u can only trust very few.
I will continue to try find evidence of the hack

The hacker did leave me with 6.8 pivx nice cunt huh.

The time of the transaction taking your coins is surely not a coincidence. You gave somebody enough information to initiate this transaction.

Also, upgrade your OS! Better don't use windows after all.

no, not the masternode private key, but someone could have voted for you. All that is, is used to verify the collateral in your controller wallet

you should becarefull wit your own wallet,
i think you click something that can give information about your wallet, maybe on email, or in another place

sorry about the lost but i guessing this will teach all of us a lesson .Never keep all your eggs in one basket

Do I see it right, you posted your private key in a public channel?

And you ask why your coins are gone?

Take the loss as a man and learn from it that this kind of technology is out of your league.

I remember that in the instructions to setup a masternode, you have to send 10,000 PIVX to another PIVX wallet (the masternode wallet). Are you sure you didn't send the 10,000 PIVX yourself to the masternode wallet? Is that maybe when it happened?

Hmmm I saw someone also complaining about stolen PIVX from exchange.Is it possible that the coins actually are virus??just think about possibility.A virus disguised as a crypto and disappeared after a set period of time or send itself to some pre defined address?That would be really scary

these are the screenshots i sent

I would recommend you do a fresh install of your operating system

that aint gunna my cash back?

mbalance
[9:27 PM]
and about the lost PIVX, if they are not in some other wallet that you have they are pretty sure gone

mickeyspit [9:28 PM]
this is bullshit

mbalance
[9:29 PM]
It is not recommended for non technical members to setup their masternodes and never ever invest more then you can afford to lose in anything

[9:29]
I understand your situation but see it as a lesson learnt (edited)

mickeyspit [9:33 PM]
so thats it huh?>

[9:33]
i lost 20000 AUD??

mbalance
[9:36 PM]
If you don't have the PIVX in some other wallet probably. Please go through the wallet FAQ just to be sure https://forum.pivx.org/t/faq-for-wallet-issues/

Sorry judging from what I read you should go no where near this technology, if you do don't invest more then you can afford to lose

mickeyspit [8:54 PM]
Are you serious? That's a terrible response from a developer

[8:54]
I did nothing wrong

mbalance
[8:54 PM]
You are using windows, any kid can hack windows 7 without you taking notice

[8:55]
Just to name one issue

[8:55]
And I'm not a dev!

mickeyspit [8:55 PM]
Well I was unaware hacking win 7 is so easy

[8:56]
If it's so easy can u please explain how it was done?

mbalance
[8:56 PM]
You where unaware of many other things as well, you can not just put 20k on your HD and think its safe without doing your homework

mickeyspit [8:57 PM]
I did my homework. I know what I'm doing.

let me know when i can help you..

Very rare case on which you have been getting hacked while doing nothing since you are a computer techy guy and you know already the possible things for being hacked then you do know the things to be avoided but you didnt skip or passed on this one.Possible suspect would really be on that slack channel,im not programming expert but the hacker is definitely there. 10000 PIVX is too much equivalent on 15 btc,sorry for the lose i think no one would really make those coins be recovered.

What details were posted on Slack?
Were you recommended to make any changes to your configuration or download any files?
Hopefully someone with knowledge about setting up a Pivx masternode can look at the info you were given and determine if anything would have lead to a compromise.

Why would I want to create fear in the PIVX community?
I have enjoyed chatting to the members on slack it's a great community and very helpful.

I just don't believe I was hacked there's no evidence that supports the hack has taken place.

Can anyone inform me of what type of hack exploit this could be as I did not open or receive any malicious files?

Running win 7 with Malware bytes and eset smart security

When you talking about this mysterious disappearing of your coins my thoughts are focused on the different side, to become suspicious about this code, and i hope whole this topic is not about creating confusin and fear..This wont reflect good on oure investments.

I have ran malware bytes root kit and kl detector and found nothing. My win 7 is password protected and i dont allow rdc. I'm 95% sure I was not hacked. I don't see how my wallet.dat could have been transferd from my hard drive to a hacker?

Sorry to hear that, sounds impossible mission for the hackers because you didn't download or click some suspicious links, weird, but you have to face it. Buy coins in exchanges, not keep them in your pc.

Yes I have updated to 2.2 and spoken to the lead developer. Infact I was chatting to the devs at the time of the hack.
I just need some proof that the hack occurred. Anyone know of a white hat hacker that can confirm I was hacked?

A key logger is possible. But transferring a wallet.dat file from my c: drive ain't easy to do but maybe possible?

There must be some evidence on my pc that the hack occurred. Happy to pay to find out how this happened.
Im really in mourning over my stolen masternode
