I thought that they were fixed already, again there's another problem that I've encountered with them and it's no data showing. But upon refresh, it seems to be normal.
Well, the binance take over doesn't seem to show the stability of cmc as before. They've made it even worse than it was before. Hopefully that with these encounters, they'll hear the feed back of everyone to do better.

CMC is hacked ? Just work up and see i have more money than elon musk in my wallet .

1 Bitcoin = 799,988,888,678
Lol, this seems like a good funny thing, I wish I took a screen shot of my holdings at the time but CMC doesn't provide a portfolio type of deal just yet, it provides just the prices. In any case people might had some little heart attack when they see that, I am sure that everyone understood it was just a mishap and not the real deal.

Hopefully we will reach insane numbers one day, when I first got into crypto even these ATH prices that we had looked like insane and nowadays we are talking about how we "dropped" to 50k and all that, when in fact that was something unimaginable at the time when I started. I know we will not reach 800 billion or whatever, but maybe 8 million one day? That seems like a possible thing in the distant future.

I was a billionaire for a small time and I'm disappointed that I'm not a billionaire anymore today LOL. It was really quite surprising to see this. I was looking for what happened when I saw the portfolio but later, after visiting WO thread, I was confirmed that it was a bug. Either ay, it's good to be billionaire; no matter for how long is it.

It is not just BTCitcoin, the entire market went to new all time high and some of the coins went to zero, it is just a bug as they announced and i think it has affected some wallets that were connected to CMC and i think some of the swaps were affected with the bug. Not heard if anyone lost any serious amount due to this, but i have seen a few scammers popping up asking you to help rectify the issue Grin.

About hack, it is as usual, Coinmarketcap database has been hacked before and many users details were stolen by the hackers involved. The best is for people not to submit their personal information like emails on the site, else, hack should be expected.
It is natural that the coinmarket is being targeted by hackers, because very complete information regarding crypto developments is on the site.  Surely there are many users who register themselves.  The target for hackers is usually a user database which they will later access individually as happened to me a few weeks ago.

Whether it was a glitch or a hack, it was heartbreaking.

Now that I've checked, everything is operating normally again. Coinmarketcap, one of the most popular crypto tracking sites, has been down for a couple of hours. Price changes have been extreme due to the website's outage. People panic sell when such things happen, or get hyped as a result.

What was it like to experience being a trillionaire for a couple hours? Actually, I cleared my eyes twice just to make sure what I was seeing was real or not?
it was confirmed that it was a hack and they made a clarification on their twitter page. although this is quickly resolved, it still has a bad impact, one of which is the leakage of some user data which will make it easier to track.

But actually this will also be an advantage for those who really have to make the system even stronger because now with this it is proof that they can still be hacked.
I hope something like this doesn't happen again

hacking will always be a part of our life already. so it may happen again as hackers will always find a way how to hack a vulnerable and valuable system. it is not the exchange site this time but the popular tracking site, but who knows, these hackers are just testing their capability to hack other systems? so better secure your funds and not wait when the exchange where you are storing your coins will be the next victim.
That's right, As you said things like this will always happen and not only for big companies, this kind of thing can happen to us.
On the other hand, I feel this is a very valuable lesson so that we can be more careful in taking actions because when we are not vigilant we can lose assets and accounts or anything that is very valuable to us.
It's still better if it's just to test and let you know that the system is still too easy to break, what if hacking wants to do something bad. Of course, we have to take action again to strengthen the assets we have

If that pump is real, You will still never got richer than Elon Musk since he is holding much more tokens than you. That price will only happened in dreams since that amount is already a budget of a whole country so where the heck will that money will coming from just to pump that price at that point. It's a good thing that CMC got false hope bug just to temporarily change the feelings of people that panicking on the bearish trend.

Yeah, looks like it:

Maybe it's a window to the future  Wink
Seem back to normal now.

I also noticed that Coinmarketcap somehow has problems with the correct prices at Etherscan.
I just got confused for a moment because I checked one of my ETH-Adresses via Etherscan.



So I mean it would be nice to just get over 4 Million Dollar overnight.
But that would also be too good to be true, lol.  Cheesy
No idea where I even got this token from.

did not even take hours before the CMC forecast back to normal , but yeah I almost fell in Bed when i checked the price of Bitcoin but I know that this is just another update or program loss because after taking a shower and before going to work the price back to normal  Grin (How i Wish this is permanent)
                           ~~~~

These were long-term forecasts  Smiley

Now you know what the future holds for you.

CMC should not really be used as a single source of truth for these matters ... nor for any other to be honest.
Coingecko was working perfectly at the time. I was surprised that Trustwallet suffered the same fake price just as Coinmarketcap,  people saw their price balance on the wallet skyrocketed with the fake price.

And it was not really much of a problem for as long as there was no vital data that was leaked, or no trading or investing decision was made by people while that glitch happened.
I do not think it affected trading, it only happened on Coinmarketcap and wallet like Trustwallet, anyone that thought he can make use of the period as an advantage to trade and get bigger amount was deceiving himself because the normal onchain value would be the one that would later result to. On Binance, the price were normal. So no trading manipulation.

I saw a similar technical glitch a few months ago as well. I don't remember which coin, but they incorrectly entered a wrong value for the circulating supply (thousands of times higher than the actual number), and as a result for a short-while (less than an hour) CMC was displaying that particular coin as the cryptocurrency with the largest market cap. Here in this case, they seems to have wrongly entered the market cap of BTC as it's exchange rate. If I check the market cap right now, it shows a figure of $927 billion.

I guess it was more of a technical glitch than a hack, right? And it was not just coinmarketcap that experienced it as many sites and platforms are sharing the same sources.

Well, it was not something new. It happened a number of times in the past not just in coinmarketcap but also in tracking apps like Blockfolio and others. And it was not really much of a problem for as long as there was no vital data that was leaked, or no trading or investing decision was made by people while that glitch happened.

Do not die for Putin
It is a recurrent issue with coinmarketcap and other and it also happens to certain individual coins particularly if they have low liquidity or are marginal coins with weak programming and poor blockexplorers. it is certainly not the first time and won't be the last, so CMC should not really be used as a single source of truth for these matters ... nor for any other to be honest.

Regarding you having more than Elon, all I can say is that statistics say that between him and me we have billions.

Well, I feel it was a plan code distort to show people a glimpse of the future, if they can just hold despite the current market situation and a way of easing depression that may have been caused by the current correction. Well, it made people in my group that ceased joining discussion because of the market to laugh out yesterday. We are back to reality.
That's too hopeful but it goes to show that you will never know what happens next so you better have bitcoin in your possession if you want to get the profit as the market grows. Good to have some laughs now and then with all that's happening to the market recently, it might not hurt to have them.

This happened for all assets and I know and seems like it was just a bug, however it didn't affect the market or the value of the assets your hold. but still, due to the huge price movements, I got more than 999+ notifications on my phone alarming me about increasing the price and when I checked my walled I saw that I have even more money than Elon, As I said It was just a bug but this bug made us happy for just a few milliseconds when we saw the total funds we got and just for a minute we had a feeling of being a multi-billionaire.
The hacker seems to have a great sense of humor in this regard where he has managed to surprise a lot of people with his estimated asset. Yes, I also had the same feeling when I found out the estimated amount of asset I own could make me buy some islands in my country, and it tickled me a bit.

But the most unfortunate thing about this incident is the leak of user email and that is a bad thing in my opinion. Hacking like this can happen at any time and on any platform so nowadays all traders and investors need to reconsider how to safely store their asset. It will never be safe to keep it on the exchange because the exchange is the main hacking target of hackers.
