Topic: A Group of Hacker trying to trace HashOcean (Read 1060 times)

by reading article above, now I wonder how FBI can cooperate with hacker and how Ponzi owner could have seven datacenter in different location,this article is a joke,even he's the real hacker,what will he doing after tracing this? cooperate with cyber police around the world? LOL
I guess the hackers are also a victim of hashocean  

It's too difficult to track them some institution is trying to break the bitcoin anonymous and not successful. I sure to take an act is not easy same just making opinions. I'm very exciting to wait and see another news from this cases. I feel so funny to read about this news.

Thanks to my inside contacts I managed to get video of current hacker's progress

You are welcome.

That article is 100% bullshit. I would also not be surprised if the group claiming to be close to "hacking" hashocean are actually scammers hoping to get donations from victims of Hashocean's scam.

First of all, it would be fairly trivial for the operators of hashocean to disconnect whatever servers they were using from their domain and otherwise make them publicly inaccessible. I personally have my doubts that any evidence remains of the IP address of where Hashocean's servers were located.

Secondly, the location of Hashocean's servers will most likely reveal exactly nothing about the operators of Hashocean. It is trivial for anyone to purchase a VPS (or even a dedicated server) from some hosting provider, while not having to provide the hosting provider any verifiable information. It would also be trivial for someone to delete any information on the VPS/servers being rented/leased once the operators of Hashocean decided to pull an exit scam. It is also likely that the operators of Hashocean ceased providing payment to the hosting provider, which would often result in the hosting provider loosing any backups that they might have had of the servers. Even if this group were able to find the hosting provider of the servers, the hosting provider might value privacy and decline to release any information to anyone that they cannot verify to be the owner of the information, and if they would release any information, they would most likely only do so after receiving some kind of legal process.

Thirdly, the article mentions that the group thinks that Hashocean has actual mining hardware and was not a ponzi because hashocean was able to make regular and timely payouts. This is most likely not true because Hashocean appears to have been paying out it's customer via BTCC, which is a fairly large mining pool, but this is also where customer deposits appear to have ended up, so the operator most likely used customer deposits to fund customer payouts. Also the nature of cloud mining means that if exactly one person were to buy a cloud mining contract, that the operator of the cloud mining company would have the ability to process payments from the contract for several months even without owning any mining hardware.

At first I was interested to see how it will go and if these Kypertech guys are for real, for one moment I believed so. But then I came back to reality , there is not much any hacker can do from a backdoor of a domain name. Also it is very suspicious how they found out the location of the data centers, did they maybe fly to all of these places indicated on the google map and searched around ? I don't think so. What adds more doubt to the story is that the owner of Hashocean after scamming in a perfect way is such a naive person that have send this group an email asking them to stop tracing him. Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous but if you know what you are doing you can make it anonymous,truly anonymous. Taken bitcoins are on a wallet which must be a really well secured one, as someone else have said in other threads should be a hardware wallet. They can use mixer services in order to mix the bitcoins and separate them into different wallets. This group is only offering vain talk and false hope. Nothing can be done unfortunately to get your money back.
People only need to learn from this website and raise self awareness to not invest in such sites.

That was the other fishy thing about these so called hackers. Why announce your intentions to the bad guy before you move? Like saying the FBI is preparing to raid the datacenters. I'm sure the perps calmly look around and say " Look here old chaps, the police are coming to raid us soon. Perhaps we should wait around to welcome them around the place? There are alot of cables here, someone might get hurt.."

The whole thing seems like a show. And that only furthers one agenda: getting away with the money, cleanly. Although as I have said before, I don't think this was spur of the moment, so I feel they have an escape/exit strategy in place.

This is really interesting, if scammers from Hashocean offered bribe to stop Kypertech Hackers from uncovering their whereabouts then they must be really worried.
I don't believe that people who invested in Hashocean will ever see any refunds but this is unexpected twist. I wonder if they really can track them down somehow.

Unfortunately the hackers can not do anything to the wallet holding more than 5500 bitcoins of Hashocean as they are holding them in a hardware wallet with 99% of the chances. The backdoor route maximum can find the guy/guys who bought the domain and this still doesn't mean anything because they may have paid someone else to buy the domain for them. These guys Kypertech are only trying to get some publicity, I never heard before of them and all of a sudden they are here playing the heroes.
