Many Coins (Blockchain) got hacked recently, 51% attack included.
Yesterday, we had a bad news from Syscoin & Binance. #SYS price was pumping so fast before #Binance went down for "maintainence" - I think Binance also got hacked. That is too bad.

There is a bad scheme applied to Blockchain users
So any Blockchain user that got hacked have all went through A phished email sent to them
It is their fault

Secondly I do not believe binance, they are manipulating lies lately whenever there is a sudden pump and it does not favor their whales
Someone bought 20sys for 96Btc, how is that an hack ??

Let’s just trade and be safe

yup, smaller coins are vulnerable to 51% attacks.
Binance had a problem with sys coin, one of my friends had sys at binance, I'm gonna ski him wether he was able to gain some profits, I would say no, or it would be reverted.

Recently there is a report of hacking of an exchange firm. This is major problem, as investors will lose trust in the market and other exchange firms. Cyber security must be upgraded to ensure a better future of the crypto currency market. this will lead new people to invest in crypto currency.

It's not a hack or a 51% attack. It's just a minor bug in the API. And maybe Binance will maintain it again in the near future to fix it.
You should read the information carefully and contact the support of any exchange to clearly ask everything before writing an article like this.
Often, a false statement or rumor can cause FOMO not to be.

It was not a 51 % attack on the SysCoin Blockchain or even a hack. Maybe it was a coding error in the API Code of binance - maybe can happen on other exchanges too.

I have just got an email from Binance team:
Dear customer,
Due to irregular trading on some APIs, Binance has removed all existing API keys as a precautionary security measure. All API users are requested to recreate their API keys.
Another announcement regarding the re-opening of trading will be made once the maintenance is complete. Please stay tuned to our official announcement channels for further information.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience.
Thanks for your support!
Binance Team

I wasn't an hack in any firm of the word hack. It was just problem with the Api I believe. That can't be called an hack.

In love with Bitcoin!! 💓💕

Actually Syscoin was not hacked by the 51% attack, but by some vulnerability in the blockchain itself. It is said that the hacker generated 1 billion Syscoin from 1 block itself, and then listed it on Binance. Note that the total supply is somewhere 900 million!!
Then the hacker made a big sell order and bought 1 Syscoin for 98 BTC using BTC of other Binance users. And it pumped the price of Syscoin. I think these APIs are very dangerous to use and can be easily exploited by hackers. This has happened previously also. But it does tell us that new blockchains are so risky. Tokens on ETH network are much safer.

I think 51% attack is a mining hack and not a coin / blockchain hack. It's more a trick to fool the system to get faster rewards.. But the coins are perfectly safe

So this is the most altcoin face problems, most of the tokens, only by a few node management, then the code may be a BUG, so may be liable to the invasion, POW mechanism tokens, could face a 51% of attacks.

The altcoin has a small number of online nodes and small networks that are vulnerable to attacks by 51%, big coin like Bitcoin, DASH or LTC is not possible!

Yesterday I also saw the pump of SYS in Binance. I also think the API has a problem. But I do not know the reason why.

Maybe binance detects that API is unsafe and there is a security risk. The previous API needs to regenerate the new API. I think this is for security reasons, not by hackers. A temporary maintenance announcement has been issued. Now we can only wait.

They have just announced that the maintainence has completed but I still cannot create a new API
Error: You have to enable Google Auth code or SMS code to create API key.
(While I have already had it all enabled)

Haha
