Topic: Diamond 5 Stake, account was hacked - page 4. (Read 1372 times)

Was there really any need banning the account when the funds are no longer there?
I personally feel that Stake should have left the account open and accessible to the hacker who created it, we never can tell, a thing or two might happen which might lead him into trying to use that account again, and from there, he can be traced, as long as he is not using a VPN, But unfortunately, it's already too late.

But still on still, I don't know what importance the ip address the hacker used to access Stake, would do, I would have suggested you try to get the IP address used to access that new stake account from, if this can help to track and catch whoever is responsible.

the new account is banned and the funds gone. that was done as soon as it was reported.

Well, if this hadn't have happened to you, many of us wouldn't have known all this, but then, now we know, and I think it is time we all as a community urge stake to make an improvement on users account security.
But then again, even if they do, that our account is not hacked, is still in our hands, the long and short of it all is, for us to avoid clicking links, if there be any bonus stake is offering, try and locate the bonus page through the main stake.com website where your account is logged in.
But if we must click links, suspect it immediately if it asks for your login details again   it's likely a phishing link.

it's not on an exchange anymore. exchanges wont do anything without police reports and stake wont file one.

Definitely but phishing and its links wont be stopped. That's why I am saying the security was so far below standard. If my account had history of sending huge tips to new accounts and things like this it would be easier to understand. It could not be more blatantly fraudulent and they keep repeating how grateful I should be about the portion that was recovered. The only reason that didnt go out is the hacker tried to send over their limit in instant withdrawals. The simplest form of security in any financial world is when 2fa is stripped or a password updated there is a secondary confirmation whether by text or email. If this simple thing was implemented as is the minimum in security protocol I wouldn't have lost a dollar. They are not a new company and they implemented this 12 hours after my account was robbed. Should have been done years ago. Its moronic and displays just such a huge lack of respect for clients money and their protection. Companies should assume people are trying to hack their players accounts, this isnt a new thing. Links are going to be clicked, if my email and my secondary forms of verification were affected I wouldn't be complaining. This was just way too easy and way too blatant of a theft for it to be considered ok. The phishing links and attacks are so prevelant there because of data leaks that were never admitted and other sources of problems. I bet 500m in turn over in 5 months and they don't have any extra security on my account than they do on an unverified un kyc'd account thats bet 0. I was initially told by support that my complaint is similiar to someone falling off a bike six years ago and blaming a broken leg that happened recently on that. Thats how 500 million dollars of business was treated.

Another very pathetic layer of security is you get an email when you add 2fa to your account, making sure you did it but you get nothing and no notifications whatsoever when it is removed lol.

They do have measures against internal theft they have 2 factor authentication. This is not internal theft your password was stolen or guessed there is no other way. Stake can only verify withdrawals with email or a 2fa of your choice but email code is enabled by default. If both your Stake and email got compromised that means you are probably using a infected computer and could lose access to other things because the link you clicked could have installed a virus. I would recommend cleaning your computer. Stake is not responsible for people securing their own accounts it is your responsibility to make sure you use a strong password and have 2fa on all accounts.

That may be eloquent and my be true at the above post but as I mentioned several times if a company is responsible for taking clients who are depositing millions of dollars a day in some circumstances, not have any legitimate internal procedures to stop an internal theft is ridiculous. As many many other posters mentioned a stripping of 2fa and an immediate account clearance is the simplest form of crypto theft. Assuming I was greedy by clicking a link I get every day, is a big sssumption, careless sure but if you think businesses that take on billionaires of dollars of a profit a year shouldn’t have proper security and protocols in place when they were hacked and user data leaked two months ago… then I guess we can disagree. If I clicked a link on my black card and someone tried to take my money it would be stopped, likewise w binance likewise w kraken likewise w anywhere. It is the ultimate flag. The moneys lost, so be it but making a blanket assumption that I was greedy is childish. I get these messages many times a day every single day. My telegram was leaked by the ppl who doxxed me in which I pleaded for more account security because of this doxxing. Sometimes two things can be correct, I fucked up but let’s be honest a company taking in billions a year that can’t see the most obvious of phishing or crypto scams also fucked up. Still the point remains if anyone has contacts at tether or experience in this pls let me know. Opinions of who’s to blame are kind of irrelevant, I clicked the link, I lost money, end of story.

Binance isn’t a gambling company, if you gamble at a high level you would know that crediting 60k is not an issue, happens every week. The reason they won’t is they are afraid to set a precedent of covering losses due to theft. I’m any event that’s not my request I was hoping someone here would have some specialization in blockchain that might be able to help.

One more reminder that the most part of the hacks is due to our inattention.

As in the previous post add a warning sign along with the phising site link. Someone might click the link and they might also end up losing. Big loss and reaching Diamond 5 level is not an easy thing and all his efforts busted within seconds. The tricks these scammers play is really out of our thoughts, because the link looks same as what is being provided to claim bonus. With this incident everyone will be careful while clicking any of the links received.
