So is the enigma project stopped? And how the fate of the participants bounty ?, because I also included one of the participants enigma bounty campaign

I think it will continue since the enigma project got 20 million contribution cap from all investors. Besides they officially announce that all ICO investors who lost their money from the hack will get refunds.

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
Not only you alone who experienced it but I also experienced it, I feel sorry for those who invest in Enigma, everyone wants the truth, find hackers, find and bring it to the legal level. but that's not easy.

So how do we feel about Enigma's future?

Can't imagine being massively hacked will help inspire confidence in this project going forward...

Anyone know how these guys are getting through there firewalls and systems? I think 99% of it is an inside job, just a gut feeling  Sad
I'm too, that was pretty odd to see someone are able to hacked the site and put the wrong address to fool the investors, but i believe this just the inside jobn that linked to the team. I think that will be true.
I already watched the coindash.

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.

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.

So ico running fellows should have maximum security.
We are also at first afraid of it.
Now some basics from those hacks can help us to prevent it

Maybe stop using centralized shit like website based ICOs and slack.

Dumb, lazy and greedy ICO gamblers deserve crap like this.

If it's stolen yeah they deserve it but these stolen news are popping a lot of these days I'm starting to think that they are just playing "we got hacked" card while posting a picture on Instagram from the new island they bought.
This is what I am thinking too,
They can just put all blame with easy excuse to the hacker and hope for the investor to forgive them.

According to this comment by someone on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6v0vei/warning_enigma_website_and_slack_probably_hacked/dlwztnt/ Enigma CEO using the same password for all his accounts, that's why the hacker can hack enigma. Once again another hacker on ICO because of stupid things. Are they deserve the second chance ?
If this is true, how come a CEO act like this? Using same password for all his accounts is very very stupid things. This is just like a newbie who doesn't knoew anything how to secure his account.
My advice to all dev, don't use slack again because it's very suspicious for me. Just use this forum to update/chatting with your participants.

It's doesn't matter if it's slack, a forum or anything else. We can never know if its inside jobs or real hacks, and scams will continue to keep happening for ever. Even if ICOs are made illegal, there will alwas be countries where it will be legal to host them. All people need to do is to pick an VPN IP and then enjoy your ICO gambling.

People love to make a lot of money and quick, so the ICO madness will never end as long as there are buyers. The unfortunate thing is that so many scams hide the real serious projects, but that is your job as an investor to do research and pick the right thing. I don't want some regular to tell me what is or isn't a scam. That is the beauty of crypto, you must take care of your own money and your own investment decisions.

It is easy to make an excuses like we are "HACKED", this is the most common scenario of scamming practice pretending that they are the first victim. Now it is the right time that all future ICO proposals should be regulated and legalized so that we, the investors are well protected and can easily file a lawsuit or complaints whenever they run away. ICO investors today are just crossing their fingers hoping that their ICO investment may in the good hands.
Another scenario that this happen. Just like the coindash got hacked, though I just hope this would not happen the next time. And should made a security or make a ways nextime so the Investors will be in a good hands and they are at ease to invest in other Ico project.

This one spread via their official Slack channel. Some previous ETH attacks were also spread via Slack (like MEW phishing hack). This is the reason I'm staying away from Slack channels. Better safe than sorry.
The slack just like a place with a bunch of the scammers, Too many the scam message already come from the slack bot. Too many people still got scammed by the slack scammer at the same time we know the awareness about the slack bot just like a scam attack is everywhere. I think they need more orange juice.

ICO projects who have Slack channel or having a bounty about participating in Slack should mandatory added some warnings about it in their respective ANN thread not just in their Slack channel to raise more awareness. There are no ANN bountry thread today who having some active warnings about. Yes it's depend on a user but still it's good help for newbies.

Maybe there are things behind the curtain which probably we didn't know. Let's wait for the progress of this case.

This is the sadest news i have heard today. That ICO was growing too fast, i think that was one of the best around here, also they had a good campaing and a lot of people were happy with them, i am so sorry for the founders.
Well i think we all are acustumbrated to hear from Ethereum hacks, i dont think why every ico keeps using ethereum bassed for making their coins, there are better options at the moment.
Hope that this coin recover soon, that was a high impact for sure.

Dies someone know the exact mechanics of this hack? The only rumor is that Enigma's CEO had the same passports for all his services, but what happened exactly?
