Topic: Diamond 5 Stake, account was hacked - page 5. (Read 1268 times)

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.

The phish occurred that morning of the 17th at 553am so they waited two days until there was a balance. Full responsibility for sure and I’m living w the consequences but the security was truly pathetic and I had been raising alarm bells to the owner for a month on deaf ears

It says when the acct was created. I’m at peace w the mistake but there is definitely responsibility both ways especially when they were warned for a month about several scams being targeted etc. tbh if someone can help me at least disrupt anything to do with the coins I would sleep a lot better. I failed stake for sure by clicking but they absolutely failed me as well by not listening or caring about all the warnings. Tipping some new acct 165k within 2 minutes is absurd. They handle very very big clients which means very very big money. Gotta be more secure than to let an eternal theft occur.

track this ETH address (just in case scammer will use an exchange you can try to recover this sum)

The lost funds in your balance in the account of the gambling site you are playing on are also quite large, but you yourself said that you clicked on a link that caused your account to be hacked.

      But what happened to you is worrying, even though 2FA is enabled, it is still possible to disable it like what happened to you. Then I don't think that can do anything and you won't be able to catch up with what you lost because for sure it has been moved to different addresses.

the point is not that i am not taking responsibility for clicking a link and i know how stake works and their bonuses work. The point is i asked to change my username after dozens of extortion attempts both on and offline and doxxing and we denied, now they are eager to do it. Also tipping 165k to a brand new account, which by the way is not something i have ever done, 14 minutes exactly since my 2fa was stripped is not proper security. They changed their protocol today and it should have been tighter from the begining. Keep in mind they had no information to make an actual withdrawl from my account or i would not be complaining this was all done because the internal security didn't exist. This is after the email leak a few months ago and countless phishing attacks on all of its users over and over. So opinions are welcome and it's my burden to lose that money but a company accepting millions of dollars from me every month or so should have some kind of security to not allow someone to drain my entire account in a tip to a new account that was made five minutes earlier with no history and also this to occur 14 minutes after my 2fa stripped. That was my gripe but now I am focused on trying to track the coins if anyones able to help any further. I don't need a lesson on how the site works, I am fully aware of what I did wrong, just shocking that it didn't reject a tip of that magnitute or have some internal alert that it was instantly suspicious.

It is a little strange that they didn't make your account incignito.

A lot of members which you can see in the top 10 in the daily races are incognito, so that's a normal thing.

Your fault happened, we all make mistakes, but that security should really flag suspicious tip transactions to newbie accounts, I don't understand how this could happen. From time to time here we read of accounts that get blocked "for security reasons" in suspicion of multi accounting or whatever but real fraud in 6 digits doesn't get found out, that's alarming.

Well looking at stake history of things like that ( I am very active in stake's forum and read about strange cases a lot ) I think there is nothing that they will do to refund you. A little bit of a shame since you are almost diamond 5 and therefor have wagered almost 500 million $, what a crazy amount.

I am platinum 4 and also ran into problems in the past where I didn't get help, for some reason though I always stick with stake.

Both the OP and stake have some blame to share, however in the case of the OP I agree with you that somehow he was already being watched by those scammers and they have been probably sending him links for some time waiting for him to fall into their scam, and while stake is also to blame, on their defense I do not remember ever seeing this particular kind of scam, instead of withdrawing money directly from the hacked account they sent tips to a new account and then withdrew that money from that account, so it makes sense they were not ready to stop such an unusual attack.

From all indications and points of view, ops are to be blamed for everything because he click a phishing link and it's possible this is not the first time he has clicked the link and his account may have been compromised long before the hackers cashed out.
-I am sure his activities have been monitored for a long before the hacker finally struck when he has seen enough cash-out.
-The only place I see stake fault is where the withdrawal was approved even though the 2FA security was removed, because, in the change of any security details, the account should have been placed under 24-hour restrictions.

So sorry for your lose, I also hope the right thing is fine because seriously, times are hard and we need the little we can get to survive through

But, if it's not possible, accept it as your loss and try to be more cautious and courageous.

Yeah so, a month or so ago I started getting messages from players on the site demanding money or they would dox me or they would do this and that, sending images of family members and so on. I wrote in and asked for help in making my account incognito or some kind of privacy and was denied.

What has happened is that my telegram where I get the notifications from stake was found out, someone sent me a link on telegram so it popped up on my computer looking just like stakes messages. I clicked it and the rest is history. As far as withdrawls and kyc no stake doesn't have any kyc on withdrawals up to 60k i believe for instant. In any event, clicking was idiotic but the 2fa being stripped and money not being withdrawn but tipped over to a new account is pretty shocking. They stopped 105k and are congratulating themselves for doing so but I lost 100k in the process of them cashing out a bet and stealing the funds.

Was hoping due to my level at the company they would reach some kind of agreement but it's simply 'we can't pay for stolen funds'

that is where the coins ended up. Anyway to tell if this is a private wallet or an exchange wallet or what exactly this is? Not expecting ppl to work for free.

Surely someone from the forum member knows... ask about this urgently here as well please:

crypto isn't really my world hence being on here. Any advice or ways to lock the funds or wallet and I'm all ears. The funds were stolen from stake on stake, calling police and saying what? Its a jurisdiction thing and it's not my company or my wallets that were hacked. The address info above I can't tell if that is accurate and those are the coins that were sent out or not. I am super interested and motivated to at least go down swinging here, so if theres some advice pls let me know. Definitely not taking it lightly at all.

whats done is done. shoulda been a quick solution but its done. anyway has anyway to flag or do anything to the coins let me know. me calling the cops saying stake was robbed isnt going to do much.

As I've said a million times...  Stay off telegram.  It should be branded the chat network preferred by scammers.

I didn't alert them to the last poster. It was caught only because the hacker tried to withdraw over his limit. I guess they should be applauded for that, depends how you look at it really. Draining your highest profile sports account in tips to a brand new none kyc account and losing 60 plus grand doesn't seem like the highest level of security to me really.
