Topic: Cryptsy Hacked? (Read 1651 times)
This issue seems to have been resolved. People can believe what they like. Thread locked.
Upgrades that require service interruption are announced before they occur. This event was not, and yet Cryptsy announced after the exchange went haywire that it was an upgrade. Either they are lying about it being an upgrade, or they are incompetent idiots who would not warn customers before stopping service. Believe what you like.
With all the backlash cryptsy has received from us lately I'd understand why they wouldn't want to announce site-wide maintenance prior to it happening. How would that stop people like you spreading fud? For an exchange that has never been reportedly hacked, I'd say that Cryptsy is on a pretty good standing.
We were not hacked. We had a redis server go put on us and was returning some bad data. We added some additional checks to make sure that wont happen again. As well as replacing the server. Still working on cleaning some things up. But there was no hack and customers funds are safe.
I shut down all of our wallets until the issue was resolved

so much thud going around when people see upgrades being made post total opposite and smack talk saying sites down it been hacked.
The only thing I see funny is 5 deposits made to my account for TRC on the 14th that I never deposited on account before and where only just recently done. I don't have much in Cryptsy anyway so if it goes tits up am not at a loss. Maybe the deposits where missing or in loom or come from some old accounts or mining sites but to be honest am not really bothered as its little satoshis for me on it.

lots of FUD from mr Revere. Ive been trading on cryptsy for some months now and they fix their problems pretty fast. im sure there will be an official statement but they had a hardware malfunction today and it took some hours to get that fixed. after that they had to do audits on all accounts and handle the individual problems. almost everything is back to normal now except the withdrawals and deposits. look at things from the brightside, new UI is coming on cryptsy along with some server upgrades etc. things can only get better.
"Things can ONLY get BETTER?" That is without a doubt the stupidest thing I have read today. Shill harder, bro.

Best of luck to everyone with altcoins left on Cryptsy.
Wtf is going on? Is that sketchy message the only awayable info?
..
"Something" happened. Crash/Hack-etc. The "hardware swap" excuse was tossed out after things went haywire. You would think that if they planned on being down while swapping gear it would be announced ahead of time, so that people could pull open orders and such.
This is why I always suggest to don't keep own coins on an exchange "Something" happened. Crash/Hack-etc. The "hardware swap" excuse was tossed out after things went haywire.

Mr. Revere has a legitimate bone to pick with Cryptsy, because of their involvement in the Paycoin scam, you see. But he ought to know perfectly well there was no hack. This is just how Cryptsyworks operates is.

There is also the detail of Cryptsy holding a public poll to decide the fate of the Paycoin Prime Controller they were "given" which I won and then they refused to make good on the deal.
Not the first time Cryptsy goes on a site-wide maintenance 
Is this an example of your "Freelance Writing"?
What are you attacking him for?
Having being around for sometime and dealt with various exchanges, Cryptsy seems to be the most reliable. Sure, they can be immensely frustrating at times and also cause losses on potential gains, but I never had a Satoshi missing from there.
I do not see an attack anywhere. Not sure what you were trying to imply.
Also: Cryptsy is openly involved in the ongoing Paycoin scam. If an exchange being directly involved with coins that it lists (ESPECIALLY brazen fraud schemes like Paycoin) does not bother you then go right ahead and put your coins there. It isn't like an exchange could manipulate the price of coins to promote scams or engage in naked shorting of coins using customer deposits or anything.

What is the "cold wallet address" of Cryptsy? According to walletExplorer is :
- https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/Cryptsy.com/addresses
but I think they have another address with a lot of coins (only to check if something is wrong , however I do not think the site was hacked and bitcoin were stolen).

Something I posted in the GAW/Paycoin scam thread. It is openly acknowledged that Cryptsy is involved in the Paycoin scam, but whether they are manipulating price and volume on their own exchange is yet to be proven. Customers have not been able to make trades on Cryptsy for several hours now, and yet Bot trades continue on. My guess is that these must therefore be operated by the exchange itself.
And the beat goes on, on Cryptsy:

Funny how nobody is able to trade on Cryptsy right now (Several hours already), yet these bots keep doing their thing over and over. Things that make you go Hmmmm. My guess is that these are Cryptsy's own Bots manipulating the XPY market. Opinions? Is this direct proof of Cryptsy running Bot traders on the Paycoin market of their own exchange?
