Topic: Enigma Hacked; Over $470,000 in Ethereum Stolen - page 3. (Read 3701 times)
something is wrong with some icos these days...
Yeah heard that news. If Im not mistaken the hacking start on slack after one of the dev/leader's slack account had been hack and post an announcement about the tokensale openning and give an eth wallet addy for investor's deposits. Seems like hacking amd phising is increasing on ICOs. Even slackbot always sending scam messages regarding whitelist and what so ever redirecting on fake mew which is a phising site to steal log ins. So all of us must beware.
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 ?
Its unfortunate that the ICO was compromised as a result of the Enigma CEO account being hacked, its high time people set secondary security protocols in place such as 2fa and basically make an effort of not using the same passwords as is this case. Hope all other ICO's learn from this and tighten their security in the best interest of its investors Very bad news, how to protect ICO from such invasions?
MIT Grads are just too DUMB not to use 2 Factor Authentication
Very bad news, how to protect ICO from such invasions?
Is this somewhat like coindash?
Is there no secure way (blockchsin) to pay an ico? Use Civic?
I wonder how the hackers are going to cash out all these stolen ETH though 
All coins can be mixed. When no mixer exists for the coin it can be exchanged to an anonymous coin or mixed in another form.Or, the hacker can just wait 10 years to sell.
Hackers are SMART enough to Stole 500K USD
But they are DUMB enough to transfer the funds to Bitfinex

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.
Ikr, slack is very fishy nowadays. And as far as I know, most of ICOs have been using slack.

Maybe they can mix it with other coins?

Maybe stop using centralized shit like website based ICOs and slack.
Dumb, lazy and greedy ICO gamblers deserve crap like this.

They will never learn. People want to get rich quick. Me too of course, who doesn't, but the difference is, I put some research on what I buy and I consider the risks.
The problem with ETH and why it will never be a good store of value is because of things like this. Hacks will keep happening. No matter if it's a hack or an inside job.. the point is, tons of ETH will keep getting stolen and dumped into the market, crushing the price. The more ICO's, the higher chance of a lot of ETH getting stolen and dumped, and ETH holders will suffer the consequences.
BTC is way simpler, so things like this don't happen.

Lol.... probably it will happen again and it's price will drop for like 10-15% like it happened before, but pretty sure it will be just temporary, so brace yourselves
once again.

I am now thinking it's a real hack or just a thief in its own team members.Who knows!
Another hacked ICO.
I thought it was just a rumor, so it was true, huh?
No wonder these few days I always got email notification from slack, all of it was the same email but with different senders.
They always asked us to secure our MEW over their given link. Seems like it was from scammers or hacker.
I hope this thing won't ever happen again.

Ethereum has to do something before things get out of hand. Hackers should be tackle head long in other for the ico that are using Ethereum token to succeed. Ethereum price has also been limit because of the fear of hackers people that see Ethereum as alternative to bitcoin have changed their minds because of hackers activities on their wallet.
Feel sorry for the victims and the projects, there are too many scammers around. Hopefully, there is a way to secure ICOs’ fund raising.
It seems this is another coindash event that the hacker stole the eth by replacing the correct contract address with the wrong one. Why not announce the address advance and use the block height to start the ICO crowdsale?
People should be more cautious when sending ether and learn from the past.
