why is this we come to hear about lots of hacks happening of such large amounts?

Success of an ICO is mostly about marketing and visibility.

Even competent and honest teams get their capacity caught up in rising above the noise of the 100s of ICOs happening at one time. And so they spend less time on actual security.

We now have weekly huge hacks and losses.

Still no Update from Bitfinex and Enigma about what happened to the Funds

I am curious if they are fast enough to Freeze the Funds or the Hacker just got away

did they stole it from the ethereum wallet? like myetherwallet or which way did they use?

Nothing wallet. Scammers take control on site and one of admin account in slack and noted that preICO begun with self wallet number. Due to FOMO people rush to send money on this scam wallet.
And now team write that will refund to all scammed.

Is it Frozen or the Hackers got away?

I don't think they can catch the hackers. Hackers started a fake ico using the admin account on their slack and got away with all the ETH. Security should be maximum in all the ICO's

They can't because my thought that the hacked job already done by the inside person. That makes don't senseless to say the team will try to catch the hacker as soon as possible. But you can't just the security problem will always be related to the hacked case.

The hacker tried to sell about 200k of the stolen ether on an exchange and it was caught and frozen. Kind of a dumb move.

Sounds like Enigma is planning to reimburse the people who were tricked. I'm glad for those people, but I hope they know how lucky they are in this circumstance, and I hope they will be more careful in the future since this sort of thing seems to happen a lot.

lucky the exchange caught the hacker btw did the exchange gave back the ether to its owners or they just keep it. i hope enigma would give free on their coin to those who invested while they got hacked so it would be fair.

could have been a disaster like last years bitcoin heast.

The hackers Deposited the hacked ETH to Bitfinex. There is no doubt about that.

"Are they fast enough to Freeze the Funds?" This is something we dont know coz Bitfinex and Enigma are not giving any info

Enigma team work with spec ops in cybersecurity division. But if will be precedent of frozen it wiil have plus and minus. Where is freedom and decentralization? ETH and ETC? I think need to intercept fiat from this operations with real people but not accounts

Very bad news, unexpected enigma hack project to reach a total of $ 470,000 in Ethereum, I am following bounty does not seem to get anything from this project, also sorrow for this incident.

People lost almost half a million and all you are worried about is the facking bounty? this is facking great, lol sorrow I mean who uses the word sorrow anymore these days? that's for the books to use sorrow. there are lots of hackers on this forum lurking around to grab some cash very quick.

Quote from: BCTBF on August 21, 2017, 02:14:50 PM

I'm very shocked at what happens to the enigma and this is very bad news for everyone who has been involved in it, I'm still shocked that a company has been hacked and stolen a lot of money, whether the hacker can be traced and found? This is a huge loss for the enigma. Cry

Yes very bad, what is more bad is that you just dictate from some kind of script explaining the situation. another bad thing is that Ξ is the target of almost every hacking attempt lately, maybe there is something wrong with their security.

This is boring. The good thing is that Ethereum is possible to trace, but in the next update of Metropolis, I think Ethereum will be anonymous in transactions!

This shows that doing crime with crypto is not a walk in the park. If you steal millions you will get caught sooner or later... the amount of mixing and so on that you would need would drive you insane. I prefer to not commit any crimes and just do it the right way and be able to sleep at night.

The only time I mixed coins I did it to test it out and see how it works, but im not going to mix my coins because you never know if you are getting tainted coins back from the mixture.... like it or not, fungibility in BTC sucks.

I must agree that these guys are very lucky that they will be refunded. How many times have hackers stolen stuff, and people are just left alone in the dark. Hopefully the makers can contact the people holding these frozen funds. I think this is a lesson also. If ICOs can have preagreements for escrow or multi sig wallets that are only sent to investors, this will make it extra difficult to be fooled.

how is the condition now? Has the hacker been caught? And what will investors' funds return to their owners? It's really stupid that hackers make money instantly without wanting to feel the pain of making money on the internet, if I am in the choice I choose not to have money than I use other people's money in a way that is very unlawful.

On the issue of Enigma projects hit by hackers, does anyone know why this happened? I am very sad when I heard this news from this thread and my friend. Cry

centralized services always hacekd thats not a suprise.
If you put thousands and millons of dollars in a webservice hackers will work very hard to get all of them.
