Most of "hacks" are inside jobs or scam sites in first place but i have feeling govs, banks and speculators have their fingers here too. Bitcoin is money wealthy elite cant controll so they sure would like to destroy Bitcoin.

Most of users here are talking about users getting hacked i guess.

If you read opening post carefully, you can see what is this thread about.

Hey guys

What is happening everywhere !

As 2015 started i see only hacked bitcoins thread !

There are some possibilities !

Wallets are not so secured!
Exchanges stealed money and saying that they are hacked !
Hackers got much knowledge to how to hack bitcoin addresses i mean they learnt much about private keys !

Tell me which is right statement ?👈

Also if hackers are clever enough then thts for them 🔫

Hack hack hack. First there was that 150 car hack up in Michigan, because of all the weather hacks. Then those planes were hacked, and Ukraine's army was hacked. And with these prices, I get hacked every time I go to the grocery store. Hack you very much, Hacky new year!

First, exchanges are stupid and many still store funds in bitcoin wallet on the server (wallet.dat). Bad idea. If you do that, you will get hacked NO MATTER WHAT and lose all customer funds. It's GUARANTEED.

Second, many of these exchanges simply steal the money and blame hackers.

My first BTC wallet was hacked and i lost about $10 worth, it was a good cheap lesson to learn.
That was along time ago, now i only keep up to $50 of BTC in my online wallet and the rest is kept in cold storage.

Most people who have their private wallets hacked are just not protecting themselves enough i believe, we have all got so used to our finances being protected by our banks and if it's stolen then who cares it's insured, the bank will give it back.

Ah yes and the great 123456 password, not as safe as password1 but still great, Tongue

It's not about hacking, it's about people taking their security on low weight and then they cry after they get jacked but they password was 12345.

You forgot 2014? 2014 was a really bad year in hacking, I hope 2015 is not as bad as 2014 at least

Leading Crypto Sports Betting & Casino Platform

Exchanges are casino's and online wallets are like a wallet in your pocket (could be virtually pick-pocketed)... (analogy)

Never Lose a Coin w/ GigaBit - The Superhero Who Never Lost a Coin & Still Mines Profitably - Since 2012!! Grin

Become a hacker's (and banker's) worst nightmare in less than 1 minute!

Withdrawal Every EoTD (End of Trading Day)
Download the Core on a Standalone Computer - Only connect it to Sync
Use a very strong password that you can easily remember - Hint: $ = Money, @ = at, & = and, # = Hashing - Use caps & numbers too
Always double check addresses

Important: Paper wallets are overrated, so many things can go wrong, especially in a busy office.

If you're a pro miner, you should have a standalone mini and should only use wallet cores, no light versions; same if you're a trader.

Trade with AltCoins rather than Bitcoins.

Do everything as stated above and you're 99.99% guaranteed to never lose a coin either; in gold refining, there is no better than 99.99% but still a 0.001% chance of an accident.

In any case the bold part is not true because it defies mathematics. Apart from that, yes wallets are not so secured, because sometimes the random value is not so random or for Tx k is being re-used. That is why Multisig wallets are coming in place. Moreover, as some people have already pointed out, people should really come out of the idea of share market type bitcoin exchange. As long as people do this, these hacks will continue as exchanges will push FAKE BITCOINs in the economy and if price does not rise, they'll go bankrupt and claim to get hacked.

At the end of the day, you need to change a few old FIAT habits while you are using a superior system like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not hacked. It is your poor choice that is being exploited.

better everyday ♥

As long as there's no regulatory committee, framework, or bylaws to govern Bitcoin exchanges, then this will continue to happen by shady exchange operators.

Although regulation goes against the general idea of centralized authority, in this case, it is necessary, as Bitcoin won't move on from the "Wild Wild West phase" in it's developement.

Need to continue to grow and learn from all these mistakes and broken exchanges, to progress to more reputable, trustworthy, and licensed exchanges, to truly legitimize Bitcoin.

Probably similar to the way it was when banks first came into existence. Just another arms race between the forces of good and evil, film at 11.

Hacking my ass. Those bastard exchanges just stealing from themselves and saying that they're hacked.

Thats just another possible scenario also .
I mean , everyone can invst shitload of money and make developpers create an exchange and at the end of the day and when the exchanger become successfull , they can simply go to their host , make an HTML Page saying "We got hacked , bye bye ". and it's all done . No one can proove anything or say anything about it .

It really makes it hard. As you say, we have nothing but their word when there is a claim of hacking. I do think most of them are hacks though. Criminals are going to be attracted to digital money that the police don't even understand. It is a crime that one can get away with.

Just yesterday there was a report about online bank robberies, Apparently one group has stolen almost a billion dollars in the last year. A billion!

Yes well , it can be hacks and it can be not hacks . We will never though But you got a point too . Anyway can get away with scamming or hacking Bitcoin and that's why some people are taking Bitcoin as a bad thing which is sad to be honest
And yes , I know about that incident . I also posted about it on the Politics and Society section , you can see more about it here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hackers-rob-us-and-global-banks-of-millions-in-one-of-the-largest-heists-ever-959915

I couldn't agree more with you RodeoX.
Also , Most of exchangers that are getting shutted down (after getting hacked) are China based exchange website which I found it where , Either a CHinese hacking team taking them down one after the other or the goverment trying to find some kind of reasons to shutdown and ban Bitcoin for ever .
Also some exchangers simply don't use Multisig which means less protection for them.
