Here is a statement from the man himself about today's phishing fiasco.

http://blog.cryptsy.com/

He also says another statement will be coming out within the next couple of days.

I know it isn't much, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.  I just said I'd post as I got info and I was just told of the blog post.

One was via SMS, using our provider Twilio and gained entry into our logs and sending ability via a weak password on that account.
   
Grossly negligent, you would expect more from a company responsible for a big amount of user funds...

Regarding other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months, I will be making another post to explain what has been happening in the next couple days.

So an expected "hacker attack" was required to force BigV to communicate with his users?

i bet with you that bitebi9.com is run by Cryptsy (BigVern) maybe they use a chinese sock puppet to get the "ownership problem" solved.

Everything fits, BigVern is in China and if he would just have sold the website there would be no reason to be there.
And who would buy a site like cryptsy? the trading engine sometimes leads to impossible market states like the first buy is higher then the first sell.
And even after months of withdrawal problems they told the people that the new withdrawal system is so complicated that they need more time to understand it, which means they developed something that they don't even understand (but i guess this excuse was just used to get more time ripping off customers that were still allowed to deposit)

bitebi9.com even mentioned Cryptsy multiple times, like on the coins sponsors page (they fixed this by now) but a picture showing this, was posted some time ago in this thread

Wouldn't it be stupid to run another site with the same design and probably bugs in the code? I mean, who knows, but it wouldn't make sense.

Previously I commented on bitebi9.com sending confirmation e-mails from the same mail service as cryptsy for log ins and so forth.

Anyone think there is a connection to that and whats happening now?


To think I would not have been involved if craptsy had let me take my funds A MONTH AGO...

Important System Notification

Phishing Attempt:: There is a phishing attempt going around prompting users to go to a cryptsy-refund website. Do not go to this website or give your login details on any website other than the official Cryptsy website. There were two avenues of the Phishing attempt. One was via SMS, using our provider Twilio and gained entry into our logs and sending ability via a weak password on that account. The passwords on this account have been secured. The other avenue was via email using the same mailing service we use (Mailgun), but was not sent using our account. It is uncertain where the email list for this Phishing attempt was attained from, as we do not show any unauthorized access to our Mailgun account nor our internal systems. We are still investigating this matter. If you were a victim of this phishing, you should log into your account at Cryptsy immediately and do the following: 1. Change your password and enable 2fa if you don’t already have it enabled. 2. Check your pending withdrawals, we currently have withdrawals disabled so if you see one that shouldn’t be there you can request to have it cancelled. Regarding other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months, I will be making another post to explain what has been happening in the next couple days. BigVern UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF THE PHISHING ATTEMPT, ALL WITHDRAWALS ARE PAUSED



even if they got hacked, nothing changes. Withdrawals are broken since months.

The stuff at Crytsy seem to be the most incompetent people around. They need months to fix problems (which are still not fixed) on wallets that work fine on every other exchange.
At least one can be shure that even if they get this mess fixed, their reputations is gone (hopefully, otherwise new traders that know nothing about this fiasco will loose money at a later point in time).
And hopefully these fraudulent actions will lead to legal acations against Cryptsy (BigVern) and hopefully some time in jail Smiley

This is getting ridiculous.

A scam aimed at disgruntled Cryptsy customers is addressed within hours, but the "other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months" will be explained "in the next couple days".

I've finished my popcorn.

I am reasonably certain that cryptsy has been hacked by the people behind cryptsy-refund. They have gained access to at least some or all customer email and phone numbers. They may have gained access to more personal information than just that including SSN's and DL #s if that was available unencrypted.

This is a shitstorm.....

I know they got at least email addresses since I just recently changed mine to a domain I recently registered. They also text messaged the phone number I have listed there. Fortunately I never gave them my SSN or DL#.

This breach of may cause crytsy to incur big fines from the federal government if SSNs have been taken?

Supposedly the service they use to send email and text messages may have been breached...at least that is the latest I have heard...take it with a grain of salt.

well i had planned a pleasant evening of vigorous masterbation but after seeing this it will be an angry jerk !

From the text of the email, I think someone just wanted to broadcast the idea that coins were stolen from cold storage. Hence, the use of capitalization on cold. Also the grammar is strange suggesting that they may not be a native English speaker.

Regarding the list of emails/phone numbers, this could only have come from two possible places:

1. a hack of cryptsy or a partner
2. employee theft

Interestingly, if we think it's likely that the primary motivation for the mailing was to spread FUD and we look at why a Cryptsy employee may have been motivated to send out such a mailing, making it look like a phishing attack may simply been the best choice to allay suspicions away from it having been an employee.

This "phishing attack" might all just be staged in order to hide the fact that the owner of Cryptsy has run off with the BTC before his estranged wife gets her hands on them.

Confirmed, Cryptsy stole all their user's money.

https://archive.is/hxGqy

Classic scam underway. Boohoo we were hacked. Roll Eyes

CoinMarketCap also removed this scam. The only exchange that happened in the last few months on Cryptsy exchange was exchange from users to BigVern pockets. If you had any money there, time to write it off.

@rossh174:the court has frozen wallets until divorce case is resolved - its not a scew up in that sense
timotheederetz126

This is the real reason, folks.  Roll Eyes Tongue Roll Eyes

That's bullshit. The cold wallets aren't Paul's person asset and stash its customer funds. The only thing that would be frozen would be pauls personal addresses and good luck them knowing which is which.

There is no way that the divorce case is the result of the cold wallets being frozen. There is a lot more going on than just a silly divorce settlement.

Documents were already posted PROVING you wrong !
Project Investors was named in the court proceedings..
AND YEAH that includes Cryptsy CHINA.
Read the topic.. just go back a few pages and read it.
did the documents say cold wallets seized? i dont see entire funds being frozen of customers for a divorce. pauls property is fees off trades not thetrade values themselves. im not debating a divorce settlement occuring but i doubt half customer funds go to his wife and half to him. those are customer funds!!!

Due to the owner of Bob's Custom Sofa getting a divorce, half of the fully paid for custom sofas may be delivered while the other half will be going to Bob's Asian wife as a divorce settlement. Same true for all deposits on-hand that had yet go toward the purchase of materials to start on clients' custom sofas.

Please read Dave's article in Sofa Monthly to learn the truth as to what's happening at Bob's Custom Sofa during these trying times.

Seriously? That can't be right... its a completely messed up world if any business you deal with you have to worry about them staying afloat on top of their marital problems at home....

For an exchange though aren't the crypto deposited not the exchanges property? I.e. they act as a holding ground who hold said coins on your behalf to allow you to utilise these in trades? Its still customer property right? I'm not a lawyer and don't have any experience in this field but it seems like a massive abuse loophole... whats to stop someone starting a business raking in a crap load of preorders... having their wife "fake divorce them" go bankrupt filing then run with half somewhere...

Would the wife in this case also inherit half the orders to fulfil? Seems stupid to me.

I love how your trying hard STILL to work your Cryptsy defense rhetoric into some workable theory.
But i suggest you get your ass in school and learn about law and economics etc.
Ever heard of the housing marketing crash ?
Recall banks going out of business unless the US gov propped them up ?
I can go on for ages about that but let's just point out that when the
world seen the crash the made a bank run.. why ?
Because the banks control your money.
You can sit there on your ass babbling on about theory until your blue in the face..
but the world works how it works and nothing will change that.

That is some shit Jagropolite would say too LOL
And the evidence is astounding when i look.
Like fuck.. you have been harping on the same EXACT arguments all along on Cryptsy chat ROFL

I blew your cover and have caught you lying and this bothers you for a number of reasons..

A times you have been bad mouthing Cryptsy while simultaneously kissing their ass.
And you know damn well your ties to cyberpinoy, Terrik, Stakeminers and NET are going to get you in Trouble.

Hell i bet HippieTech is already sniffing at you NOW ahhahaha
After i looking.. who was it that decided to sit on the NET topic ?
pinoy & Terrik's chat buddy Jagropolite AKA: o0o0 the NET Team member LOL
Why would this matter because you were on that topic harping endlessly about cyberpinoy's picture being faked.
Then proclaiming you were friends with them and had video chatted with them.
Just like Jagropolite..
Did those 2 scammers know your here bad mouthing Cryptsy too ?
It makes sense there is another guy that jumps in with the 'pinoy drama and we see who now.
Pick your friends better buddy..
Cryptsy, Stakeminers, cyberpinoy, Terrik, Horus, Mullick, and JShock are not the best of choices ROFL
You haven't blown my cover because i'm not that person. I offered to prove it and its up to you to take that offer and I'm still willing to do that.. help me help you show I'm not that person.

I haven't been bad mouthing cryptsy then kissing their ass. Ive been frequently banned for questioning them on things as stated. I have no ties to cyberpinoy nor terrik and stake miners other than they hold netcoin and I do too. That would be akin to saying I'm involved with mt gox because I hold bitcoin as to which I do as well.

My listing on the netcoin page is due to snappy of the netcoin team. He added that on his own accord not my request and come to mention it I will request its removal. My addition there was due to when I first got some netcoin going I got into speaking with snappy and advised and talked to him about rearranging the coin team. I provided some basic word documents on holocracy and helped him organise their meeting. I am a large netcoin holder as well so I wont deny that. I acquired this due to liking the staking mechanism as its continuous reliable time based rewards nothing more. I tried hyper stake, hobonickels, tek, clams and others at the time to find the staker I liked best.

I argued on bigj's picture being faked because I talk to bigj and I don't believe him and cyber to be the same person take a look at the pics.. of course the cyber Leroy whatever pic is faked he put his head on some president sitting at a desk whatever... hippie didn't take up a video offer to see them both.

I never said I was friends with cyber and terrik, I said I talk to bigj. I've had arguments with terrik so I'm not sure how that constitutes friends... on the contrary I think its funny how he was pro cryptsy and now decides that cryptsy isn't so awesome. I'll say it to his face.




Again I can't make this any clearer and its easy to resolve all this once and for all... if you know who Jagropolite is and agree its what gleb pointed out... then I am happy to provide some proof of your choosing to the contrary... please take me up on this offer?

The only thing I ask once you are wrong is your retractment without removing your posts and an apology.. is it that hard to want and pursue the truth or are you more interested in just posting what you think?

Now to be fair, I do not "amass" Identification. I have access to applications to work in investigations. None of the servers are even here in Canada as far as I know.
Lame that you run out of facts and throw speculation around. Team is investigating what happened as we speak. They will find out and when they do we will email and Ill come here and fill you guys in as I find out.

Horus,

Who posts as the vern avatar from twitter? I think it is only fair to users that this be announces via twitter as a lot of people are taking it as vern is speaking when he truly isn't... in the interest of ethics shouldn't the twitter handle be cryptsy without verns picture etc?

Are you able to say who posts as that vern picture because it is very deceiving.

At this point, we don't even know if Paul Vernon is still alive. If possible can someone post a picture of him holding today's newspaper? I think it time to produce some proof of life.

I agree 100%
And i have posted comments saying what id he is in custody via Fed investigation etc
With funds seize to..
Although they all still play dumb about the 6 million dollar wallet.
