Topic: Do Hashocean company will close (Read 23672 times)

Yes, many hoped that they would return but if they were just a ponzi scheme (criminals) and did not have mining rigs then it was inevitable.

It's totally close Don't expect It's just hurt you.

in my opinion i think Hash ocean will close down, there are a lot of scam accusation toward this site since a long time, I think if it still possible please withdraw your money immediately

People often use the same logins across multiple sites. That's how I got my first intrusion

I don't know why, but the owners of HashOcean are working on the website: They have said it will be back on 29th or 30th (not sure if true)
Last update of database: Tue, 28 Jun 2016 18:49:55 GMT (this is ongoing for the last few hours - time keeps changing - they are busy updating database of the website)

Why are scammers trying to get HashOcean members login information?

I ve been posting to this and other Hashocean threads at least 50 times over the last few months telling you naive and greedy noobs to stay away from magic coins mined by hashocean. Was insulted so many times cause of that, called troll and who knows what.

So, what s the problem now? Should I say "I told u so"

Really sorry for your loss, learn from this and never help finance crypto scammers again.

Please check this out, i didn't start this but might be worth a try: This is a petition on change.org directed to the FBI. We just need to gather enough ppl and we actually might move sth!!!

yeah that's true they just want to take advantage and using this issue just to also rob a money from the members of hashocean just like what have said before it is just a trap 

Yes, even with a VPN (hiding your real identity on the net) you can get infected. The problem with these ransomware virus is:
Most likely they come in the form of a PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS (Microsoft Windows data types). After opening these files you see a message: "macros disabled, please activate macros for fully seeing the document". After the activation of the macro, a tiny script is launched. I have encountered different ransomware, starting with a simple visual basic script, going over to a json (java) to a lua (lua worst case "language", because it can be used to infect nearly every system, most PC game cracks are programed in lua). The script is downloaded the "real virus". The download is most likely moved to c:\temp or %temp% (user temp folder) and starts to encrypt all your files. I repeat: ALL your files includeing wallets, personal photos, music, movies... After the encryption you have the possibility to pay about 2 BTC right now (price is very different, starting from 0.5BTC going up to over 3). If you dont pay, you will, in most cases, never get your files back encrypted.
These virus are (thats a new version) also getting put into flash videos, yes Adobe flash videos!!!

But please keep in mind that this is nearly a worst case szenario. But still, even with Norton (or general antivirus) and a VPN you can have an infected pc.


First of all, i am no "hacker" or "white hat", but i have some experience.
The problem is your emailaddress. You can imagine your emailadress as your last wall of defense. If anybody is able to get into your emailaccount you used for facebook, okpay, poloniex,... he can simply use the "forgot password" on all the desired pages. Even if you say: Hey, i have secret questions, he can't guess them:  That's not true. With a bit google work and/or a bad facebook profile (everyone can see nearly everything) these questions can get solved.

So in our szenario the hacker has taken control of:
- Your emailadress you used for hashocean registration
- Your password you tryed to login on the phising site (for example hashocion.PHISHING), even if its not your master password, it's a password you used!!!
- The hacker/attacker might not be able to take control of all emailaccounts, but he will be able to hijack atleast a nice amount of the emailadresses
- Keep in mind that "forgot password" feature can be used on almost EVERY website!!!
- Worst case: your mobilenumber with active two factor authenticator. I am not 100% sure how this can be done, but it is possible to setup a "fake" google auth with your phonenumber so google auth thinks that this is rly your phone!

I hope this made the situation more clear about.
This "warning" isn't only for hashocean: If you want to login to a page, and you see: hm, normally it is PAGE.com and now its PAGE.io ======>>>>> DOUBLE/TRIPPLE/QUADDRO/PENTA check if this is just a different domain pointing to page.com or if this is a new, infected/phishing sate.

Those are random people taking advantage of people who invested in HO, not HO itself. As you can see they create dummy HO websites for the possibility of getting their real account of HO. Hahahaha

I have checked the btc addresses stated on that website.  Some dumb peoples already sent the money to those scammers.

Vpn it's only hiding your IP and location but Norton only give a little chance to protect your desktop against the virus, better to avoid suspicious link or file maybe include the virus in them.
