Topic: every exchange will be hacked? (Read 2825 times)

yeah especially smaller exchanger with lower security
minimum attemp is DDOS that website

they not response a day ago maybe they think its a phishing action . I suggest password change for everybody.

Every exchange undoubtedly is going to have an attempt at hacking it. I don't know if every exchange WILL be hacked although.

Blockchain's next, hurrhurr

That's called communism.  It's been tried and it generally has failed.

This is a mistake of mixing levels.

Humility and compassion are powerful spiritual principles,
however those principles are not mutually exclusive
with value-creation and business dynamics.

Most of the things that make life comfortable and enjoyable
are the results of competitive business and mass marketing.
(Even homeless people in America today are enjoying
their mobile devices.)

That didn't happen by accident.  It happened as a result of
people and companies wanting to make money by
creating products and services that other people
are willing to pay for in the marketplace.

Communist societies have failed because people
were de-incentived to work hard, rather than
being rewarded for hard work in creating wealth and jobs.

The solution is not putting all wealth in one account.
People are too greedy and selfish for that to work right now.
Perhaps in another eon, when we all have all evolved
spiritually.  

The "ratrace" dynamics are not
the result of capitalism because capitalism doesn't
exist anymore.  Instead, in America, we have corporatism,
which combines some free market dynamics with
a lot of beuracracy, regulation, and political cronyism.

This is essentially fascism.  Fascism and communism
are two sides of the same coin....ultimately both relying
on force and coercion against innocent value producers.

The deepest layer of exploitation comes from the money
system itself.  As Thomas Jefferson famously said:  "I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies."

It is therefore in Bitcoin that lies society's greatest hope
of evolving to the next level of freedom.

I will write an email to every email address from the short leak. I will show them all the informations (ip phone numbers, name etc.) what are included in the leak, if they said this is legit the pastebin is also legit.

I think every exchange will become the next one, sooner or later!

Let's send $500 to some anonymous guy who posted a pastebin, great idea!

What has been proven is that Bitcoin trading sites can be hacked.  
 There is more than one way a hacker could benefit. A hacker working for a government could steal the coins just to make them less desirable to own or trade in. Such a hacker’s motivation would be to eliminate digital currencies as viable. Numerous central banks and governments are so motivated (China?).A group who borrowed Bitcoin or shorted Bitcoin could profit from a hack as they repay their loans in cheaper Bitcoin. A hacker assisted carry trade.Finally there is the classic motivation to steal and turn your stolen Bitcoin in to paper currencies or other easily moved assets. 

changed my password on bitstamp for sure

That better not be true... Anyone got 1 BTC to spare? xD
Bad news if that is true for sure.

I think its a big news (or a big scam ), but nobody replyed. Should I make a new topic for this? Bitstamp was really vulnerable for heartbleed bug?

looks like legit

I sent him an email to show me proof. If he response i will post it.

Bitcurex has been recently hacked too, also c-cex and poloniex. Many exchanges have ridiculous security level on launch. I remember one that kept sending me funds for every page reload during withdrawal. I didn't even notice it (kept reloading because I was getting some timeout errors or sth), only later I found about it when the owner contacted me, so I returned the funds.

No, I do not believe every exchange will be hacked.
The ones with the best security will win (long-term) in a free-market.

Actually, this is a two edged sword. If you open up your code, you get peer reviews which is good, but you also give away in explicit detail how everything works including any vulnerabilities which are likely to get spotted first by hackers.

Open source exchanges will help with security too.

...Every exchange but the coming decentralized exchanges.

Because users hold the private keys a hack on a decentralized exchange is impossible.

In the meantime there's no reason central exchanges could not architect their system with multi-sig wallets... making a hack on them impossible too.

(For every problem there is a solution!)

It is cool that you run a bitcoin brokerage and are also active on the forum.  I appreciate your posts.
