For those who's accounts were hacked, shouldn't you take responsibility for that? Use a password manager, secure your computer, etc. Passwords don't just "get stolen" unless something else is going on. Is your computer rooted? Do you have a key logger installed?

Ultimately, the answer is for people to not be stupid, like I was. There are systems in place for exchanging value and this forum (clearly) is not a good system for that, especially with the "remember me" login feature. Reputation and identity are incredibly important. After this event, I've learned to not trust any identity here unless signed messages are involved.


This is the first time something like this ever happened to me.Maybe it was because I was logged in forever.My computer is virus free(I don't download stuff,and if I do it is something that comes from a valid source)I think the OP was the person who hacked our accounts or somehow got into it.I understand why you feel that way but if you think like that then your being unfair to other people who are really honest(A lot are honest people that are being called scammers) but thats a whole nother conversation lol.All I can say is everybody be safe!!lol

Can anyone explain to my why people sell their XRP outside Ripple for 11,000-12,000 per BTC when the price is better on Ripple and you only have to trust Bitstamp + Ripple?

Bitstamp lets you buy xrp, not sell xrp

They changed mine. I had to use the forgot password to change it. Then I went through all my posts, and deleted the 2 that I didn't make, both of which were related to trades I didn't make.

My problem was treating XRP like monopoly money and pretending it had no value. That was stupid. I never would have sent anything of value to someone without escrow, etc. Lesson learned. I had a momentary lapse in the "trust no one" policy because I didn't really care about the XRP I got free. That was dumb.

Here are the other accounts that should be marked as scammers:

crystalharmon13
fluffypony
kidcudi09
Brewins
alpha523
Kevlar

Can someone help with that? I guess I'll just report them all. Might not be a bad idea to track the IP as well and see how many other similar accounts have been set up.

Based on this: https://ripple.com/graph/#r9h3FfkBwHXmvZ2RGdbQdgGbBuJvu7r4gM it looks like they already transferred out their pirate booty.

For those interested in what a scammer's PMs look like, here's the dialog (note the timestamps to see the conversation in sequence):




It is sad to think how much time and energy went into this for just a few hundred bucks worth of value. Not to mention the complete lack of integrity on display.

Please take my name off that list.I didnt do this.

...

Yeah, same here... I'm changing my password too.

What a dilemma. If it's true, it's very likely that OP's account got compromised, too.

One should:

- ban those sock puppets

- or find out how three bitcointalk.org members got hacked.

"Oh, my password was stolen." How are we to know the truth? So frustrating. We're left with "trust no one" which, in my mind, seriously hinders real community development.

FYI, if anyone's curious about ripple's official response on this:

Sorry there is nothing we can do about this.
You can use this: https://ripple.com/graph to see where your xrp went.

My assumption is you don't get involved. But, considered Ripple is currently centralized, I figured I'd ask anyway, in case you had ways to reverse transactions. I was stupid and am out 30,000 XRP.

I'm not sure if you have a real person attached to the address used in the scam, but that would be fantastic if a real person could be held accountable.

My incoming address is rCwA5qtgwDtkvdf3uZk8ZnekHoqf1qMvC if anyone there is feeling generous. I don't expect to be rewarded for my stupidity, but it never hurts to ask, right?

Good luck with Ripple. I recently signed up for the developer's mailing list and will be following it closely.
