Topic: New Exit Scamming Exchange? - page 2. (Read 379 times)
Well you know we could always play the paranoid conspiracy theorists and say it was an inside job of some sorts. To what conclusion? Who knows, who cares, just keep your funds safe.
Is it the truth? What is the goal to DDOS an exchange with such low volume
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/graviex/ ($62 688,82 USD 8,54440269 BTC)
A pic showed they don't pay for the botnet but they own it, I still don't get it, why don't they do it with a medium or large exchange.
Or are they desperate enough to find something to do with their botnet?

They said that the criminals next target are the following exchanges. That is based on the conversation they have posted. So let's see, hackers find another loophole, they are not hacking the exchanges but a coordinate DDoS attack and then ask for a ransom money.

As you may've heard #Graviex was under unprecedented DDoS-attack. Now we're online. Btw in a chat while hackers were demanding a ransom (we NEVER paid!), they casually shared their "agenda": @Sistemkoin, @hitbtc, @HuobiGlobal just in case their support will find this info helpful

I'd say the usual recipe still allows deposits but has "temporary" withdrawal issues. I've never used them and have no idea what they have been like as an exchange. Regardless this is just another good reminder to not keep any coins on an exchange long term.
You forgot the zero trading but huge withdrawal fees which is also part of that standard recipe.
Though I currently have no reason to not believe they are under attack. A DDoS attack is a rather bad cover-up for an exit scam.
Well it's not nearly as big as a Binance but it still has a nice little daily volume of around 100,000 U.S. Dollars.
They have been under a massive attack and have been ask for a ransom.

You can follow everything from their official twitter page.
So we need to wait for further announcement if it's an exit scam or not.

This the reason that I don't left investment in any exchanges now especially if I plan not to trade for long. Hopefully not many uses these exchanges or didn't have many investment left on it as I didn't use this exchange even once.
Hopefully this can reach more people since its in the exchanges listing but still this is terrible news. I don't know if anyone remembers the more well known names such as cryptopia and the infamous coinsmarkets but it was almost identical in what is happening now. It's true always due your diligence and if you can take your money out of the exchanges as soon as possible.

The digital currency exchange Graviex.net has been down for some hours now with a 502 Bad Gateway Error, it may be in the process of being an exit scam. Please be warned. Any news or thoughts on what might be going is more than appreciated. Thanks.
