I'm seeing some posts in Twitter about BitPay being hacked. Over $80,000,000 worth of bitcoin gone. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is true that's terrible when the new years was starting off so well. Shit like this will discredit bitcoin more than countries banning it.

edit: link from reddit-- http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1uexyh/bitpay_hacked_early_reportsstay_tuned_anyone_with/

So no sources other than Twitter and Reditt?

And I need glasses as I thought the title said Bitcoin has been hacked  Cool.  

Again some dumbass jumping to the wrong conclusion. A load of rubbish imo


This is why I put a question mark in the title and asked if anyone here could confirm. Not trying to troll or spread FUD. I'm glad this is turing out to be false

LEAVE THE CAPS LOCK OFF AS WELL

Can a mod amend the title or delete the thread?

Ammend it to what? It has been amended to a false alarm.

honest mistake.  Unfortunately the market manipulators prey on that and when a rumor get out of hand it can have significant financial consequences.

bitpay.com is one of the major players and tony is one of the good guys.  Lots of ney sayers would love to see a successful bitcoin business fail.

Fortunately it was nipped in the bud. 

Hopefully they catch the guy who started the rumor.

BCB , please remove his negative trust.

He did change the title and it wasn't an intention to scam.
Check his user history , I don't see him being a troll or a fudster.

I see my trust level is -6 now whatever that means... you guys are assholes  Cry

No we are not.  Deleted.

Thank you.  Cheesy

It's sad but inevitable that people will stoop to these dirty tricks and fake news campaigns.

I hope those responsible are made to face the consequences.

thebitcoinnews.co.uk should be questioned on their reporting ethic at least.

As for the guy who started this thread +1 IMO.  It helped me steer round the BS when the link was posted on btc-e seemed to calm alot of nerves.

*edit*  or should I add the answers in the forum from trusted members helped me see the news was fake.  Thanks guys.


This is why i posted here to see if the news was real. People here know a great deal more than me. And the only reason I wanted to know is so I could sell some coins and pick them back up in a few hours at a lower price

Other question. Is Peter Wynn twitter account has been hacked? If not, he should pretend it or he will become Fontas²

I think that's more feesbile. A lot of the stuff that is being typed on that account right now doesn't seem like something that someone with his alleged experience and knowledge would be saying. Next thing you know, he will claim MTGOX and Cryptsy were in on it too.  Shocked

Am I understanding this Peter Wynn dude right? He's claiming Zynga and BitPay conspired together to steal his BTC from BTC-E??? Huh?

It's hard to filter through all those twitter comments he's been making, but that's what I gained out of it?

He spending the weekend in Denver???

Good job. You changed the topic
Its good now.
It's simply not true. Please edit the title of the post to make this clear now.
Yes, it should change to "GOOD NEWS: bitpay has not been hacked?" as this is the overall consensus on the twitter-sphere the past 5 minutes.

Haha good idea.

Do Bitpay have a twitter?

Lol somebody neg-bombed Dafar because of this thread.
Yes they got Twitter its @bitpay

Bitpay have no any official information on it and as well as that blockchain information is nothing. Its just securing bitcoin. So don't just troll.

What would make one thing they were "hacked" and BTC being stolen? That account looks just the same like any exchange accounts, etc. Nothing to see here, move along.

this is the reason for the "notice of hack".

https://blockchain.info/address/1Facb8QnikfPUoo8WVFnyai3e1Hcov9y8T

BUT BITPAY DO THIS EVERYDAY, THEY SEND THE BALANCES TO THE CUSTOMERS MANUALLY FOR SECURITY REASONS. -.-

You cant withdraw from bitpay, they send you your coins when they can do it, for example, the blockchain's url up here.

Dont troll the newbies LOSERS.

80 000 000 gone?
Just check the address history , some of those 80 000 000 were transferred a long time ago from it.
Also 82 mils is the total sum the address ever received , not the sum that it was in it .

FTR, I have gotten no confirmations from other @bitpay customers confirming a hack, and an email from their CEO says everything is fine.
