We have conducted a thorough review and found no issues on the website. It is possible that specific users may have encountered problems due to viruses or plugins they installed, which are beyond our control.
Isn't it too much coincidence that many high rollers who won the wagering contest (and only them) had their accounts legitimacy compromised by a malicious script which was deflecting their funds to external unknown wallets?
If the issue with malicious script were a generic issue faced by random users, then we could think that it had something to do with external plugins installed by the users themselves (probably plugins related to gambling bots).
But since only specific whales were targeted, it really seems to have been a more elaborated attack against determined platform's users, who the hackers knew to be more profitable to steal from, instead of focusing on random accounts from micro earners containing dust of satoshis, for an example.
I have 2 remarks:
1. The deposit and withdraw attacks were not just targeted against (recent) high rollers. I have not wagered on freebitco.in in months, and my account was still affected. Fortunately, I did not lose any bitcoin, because I did not try to deposit or withdraw when the attacks were taking place; but for a period of ~24 hours my deposit address switched to some unknown address. I have had the same deposit address for years and have not changed it recently, and so I knew immediately that something fishy was going on. After about a day, my deposit address changed back to my normal address.
2. This was absolutely not caused by "viruses or plugins they installed". I have 3 different devices that I use to log in to this site, and my deposit address was switched on every single device. Are you really going to argue that I had the exact same virus on all 3 devices?
I have ~100 messages on this forum, and in nearly all of them I have spoken positively about freebitco.in (they gave me a lambo!). I have to be critical here, though. Blaming users for these recent issues is not cool.
Some of you already know me. I was one of those robbed. 2 times. one depositing because an incorrect address appeared in the official page and another withdrawing because although everything was fine on the screen, all my funds were deposited to another account.
I am very happy if the Client Service becomes proffesional and really answer our issues. As many of you knows, i sent graphical evidences about the issue and the malicious scripts and even i offered my account to Freebitco.in for the investigation.
The issue was not caused by a virus. It was a 100% security issue in Freebitco.in (i prove that because i used different PCs, networks and devices) but after causing the loss of all the funds of some users and having sent emails with evidence of the hack:
- no one from Freebitco.in responded to any of my emails.
- nobody from Freebitco.in have contacted me.
- of course, we still don't know if they fixed the critical issue or hackers can attack again at any time
.
Nor has the user @TheQuin responded to the private message I sent him. For me, the answer from freebitco.in has been... horrible, shameless. They have laughed at us.
Now, I would appreciate someone from Freebitco.in to calm us.
In fact, i have returned to the page but i am afraid and review the page code every time i need to deposit or withdrawal because i don't know if we are still in danger and the hackers can come back whenever they like.
