They make a withdraw request which triggers the email.
As a result of an UN requested withdrawal the customer gets spooked and immediately changes there security settings in belief that this will help secure there account.
However, this is a trojan horse that that allows the withdrawal confirmation request to be disabled.
Thus, the original attacker is able to capitalize on the ignorance of the individual who is thinking there securing there account by enabling there 2fa security measures.
Using fear to trap the individual into unknowingly let there defense down and be luted by either hackers or some one on the inside or backend of the freebitco.in site.
It's genius really but completely f***** up
Either way, security or no security measures anyone can be targeted rendering this website
Extremely dangerous for anyone who has a balance.

We can speculate all we want as to whether or not the websites secure .
But the fact that the matter is there's a few of us that would like to get the hard-earned money that we won.
So we can keep talking about what's wrong with the website or we can discuss how we're going to make reparations to these individuals.
However, if it's an inside job, there's little chance for recovering the funds other than reporting to the FTC and financial crimes units.
Mr. Quinn in my opinion is either part of The problem by allowing this to happen or he's directly involved. Either way, he's guilty by association because he knows his website's faulty and he fails to do anything about it.
Hi! I also became a victim of the substitution of the deposit and withdrawal addresses. The fbc support is silent and does not try to make up for my loss. This is completely out of the fault and the problem of the site. The users are not to blame for anything here. Fbc have security holes in the site and should be responsible for it. It is necessary to demand from them the refund of the stolen.
Do you think there is a chance to return the stolen btc? Will the Fbc reimburse the losses?
