Topic: Cryptopia has been in "maintenance" for the last 14 hours! - page 4. (Read 1607 times)

The question I have is:

how many such cases that some hacker stole funds from some exchange and was caught and recovered the funds?

I do not know the statistics, but I know that I do not see every day the news channels say they found the hacker X and recovered the funds of some exchange that was targeted by hackers. following this logic, they may have stolen themselves because they know there are few chances of being caught by the police.

If Cryptopia's management was actually behind this hack, they'd not be cooperating with the police at this time due to fear of being jailed. I still think that Cryptopia's bad security caused this hack, not the Cryptopia's bad intentions.

Cryptopia is hiding behind the announcements of the police.

On top of that one shitty exchange "Mercatox "asking for money to stop hacker to sell stolen funds in their exchange. However, they denied that their representative is involved in this conversation. Still not a good sign.

That implies the thief has full control over all those funds and always has and Cryptopia has none.

I doubt the police cyber-crime division even knows how to secure and sweep wallets.
Lets hope they sweep the remaining un-hacked wallets into a police wallet at least or get the right people to deal with it well assuming that cryptopia has the keys ...

I'm quite sure that there'd not be that many miners sending their Ethereum (a total of 1675 ETH) to Cryptopia. This looks like a fresh sweep by hackers, and literally, shame on police for not taking good care of the remaining un-hacked wallets.

Incompetent police.

The Cryptopia Hack Is Not Over, Another 17K Wallets Drained - Report

https://cryptonews.com/news/the-cryptopia-hack-is-not-over-another-17k-wallets-drained-r-3284.htm

If the hackers have really managed to hack the remaining wallets again, I'd say that it should be New Zealand Police's duty to pay for that. They stopped Cryptopia from providing the updates, and clearly mentioned that:


Incompetent police.

A priority for police is to identify and, if possible, recover missing funds for Cryptopia customers; however there are likely to be many challenges to achieving this.

There should be some info from cryptopia, what had been stolen.
I like to know what of my coins there are gone.
If and how to get access to the funds.
Its understandable they cannot straight reactivate the website if safety is not set up new.
But they should inform about whats now and whats next.

Can't imagined how will Cryptopia will deal on these.

The investigation into the alleged unauthorised transaction of cryptocurrency at the Christchurch company Cryptopia has continued today.
 
The inquiry is still in its very early stages and police are continuing to work with Cryptopia to establish what has happened and how.
 
Police are not yet in a position to say how much cryptocurrency is involved, other than it is a significant amount.
 
A large team, including Canterbury CIB and specialist staff from the police High Tech Crime Unit, have been assigned to the case.
 
There has been a visible police presence at the company’s Colombo Street headquarters throughout the day as police take the steps needed to progress the investigation.
 
While police are unable to go into details about specific steps being taken at this stage, we can say that our focus includes commencing both a forensic digital investigation of the company, and a physical scene examination at the building.
 
We are dealing with a complex situation and we are unable to put a timeframe on how long the investigation may take.
 
We are also aware of speculation in the online community about what might have occurred.  It is too early for us to draw any conclusions and Police will keep an open mind on all possibilities while we gather the information we need. 
 
A priority for police is to identify and, if possible, recover missing funds for Cryptopia customers; however there are likely to be many challenges to achieving this.
 
We would also like to make clear that Cryptopia are cooperating fully with the investigation team and a media report that police ‘stormed’ the building today is entirely incorrect.
 
Anyone with information which could assist the investigation can contact police by email at [email protected] (link sends e-mail).
