glad I got most of my csc out, but still had 4-5 btc worth of other coins in there 

This warning now up at Cryptsy:


Important System Notification

Phishing Attempt:: There is a phishing attempt going around prompting users to go to a cryptsy-refund website. Do not go to this website or give your login details on any website other than the official Cryptsy website. There were two avenues of the Phishing attempt. One was via SMS, using our provider Twilio and gained entry into our logs and sending ability via a weak password on that account. The passwords on this account have been secured. The other avenue was via email using the same mailing service we use (Mailgun), but was not sent using our account. It is uncertain where the email list for this Phishing attempt was attained from, as we do not show any unauthorized access to our Mailgun account nor our internal systems. We are still investigating this matter. If you were a victim of this phishing, you should log into your account at Cryptsy immediately and do the following: 1. Change your password and enable 2fa if you don’t already have it enabled. 2. Check your pending withdrawals, we currently have withdrawals disabled so if you see one that shouldn’t be there you can request to have it cancelled. Regarding other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months, I will be making another post to explain what has been happening in the next couple days. BigVern UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF THE PHISHING ATTEMPT, ALL WITHDRAWALS ARE PAUSED


Nice cover story...

So has Cryptsy became another Mt. Gox? This is something similar that what happened before in the past and damaged Bitcoin's reputation. That is why it is advised not to leave any of your coins balances on an exchange and move them to a safe place like a paper wallet immediately. Only deposit the amount of coins that you would want to trade and after a successful one, withdraw everything right away.

Too bad again, the industry continue to mislead people .... this time not me, because I learned with GOX and GAW, (unfortunately this limited me the resources to CSC, but still I'm glad to get the carriage on "economic" of the CSC train ....)

Cryptsy is pretty close to closing up entirely. Is there a rough estimate how many CSC they will have when it happens ? They might have a substantial amount that might cause issues in the future (or at least give them a lot of money). So if you can, get your coins out. Not only will you get your money but you will also prevent them from having it.

To add to the ever continuing discussion, .... CSC is by no means a short term money maker, ... if you are only into trading and making a short term profit you are looking in the wrong place! Of course it would be nice if CSC picks up in value but if CSC stays arround $0.02 per coin for the next 2 months i am fine with that as well. We are creating a lot of new software and features here that allow this coin to move forward in the future and we are working in the background on a mindset change for an entire industry. Invest in CSC for the longer term, say 1+ years, and not hoping for a quick win in 1 or 2 months as that will not happen. Sure CSC needs to be able to be traded but we do not need Cryptsy for that. Currently AlcurEX and AlterDice stepped up to the challenge so why the rush to get more exchanges?

This coins sole purpose is not to be traded on exchanges as are 99% of the the other crypto coins out there but we are working on it being used in a real life application. Therefor its future value will not be determined by the grace of the traders but by a multi billion market that is looking for a tool/technology that helps them solve some industry problems. I wonder why most people still do not grasp that concept .....

Will it succeed? I do not know, the future will tell. Nobody guarantees anything here, ... we just indicate the future potential value. What i do know is that the most stock exchanges made some 3-5% profit over the last year. If you invested some $1000 you would have made some $100 on that if you were lucky and had some dividends as well. If you now invest some $1000 into CSC it could well be that in 5 years you can celebrate your early retirement or you could have lost your investment, .... are you willing to take that change?

Ohh and on the Cryptsy problems, ... we already started saying early november that you should NOT LEAVE YOUR COINS ON CRYPTSY so if you did and you loose them i am very sorry for that but by no means a big surprise ....
 

it took me 10 days to get 100k csc out from cryptsy a few weeks ago, requested 20k received 3k and so on. only 4k left but it seems it will stay there

Someone dumped over 31K on cryptsy right before they closed trading.

I received the same phishing email.  Clearly, Cryptsy has been hacked and all the user information stolen.

If you have used the same password on other sites, change your passwords now.

What is scary, they have all the user verification data, such as proof of ID, proof of address etc.


Then again, this might all just be staged in order to hide the fact that the owner of Cryptsy has run off with the BTC before his estranged wife gets her hands on them.

No worries nothing to hide here  
(i didn't want to pay extra again to hide the details)

haha Dude, you know your name, address, phone number, etc has been leaked all along. You have some sloppy whois entries for other domains linked to casinocoin.org.

In better news, it looks like another 100k coins were shaken free from the tree today. hehe

You are right this is a major shitstorm now. Especially if people's details were not encrypted.
I believe the most they have is my full name which I am not afraid to reveal.

The fact that the website is already offline is very fishy.

I got a mail too. no SMS.

Someone I know filled in the form (he's not so technical) and asked Cryptsy to suspend his account. So now he'll need to go through some retrieval process.

It's probably really lucky for people that withdrawals have been broken for months. Really limits the payoff from an attack like this.

This is quite possible, it is also possible they accessed the number used to send out messages but even then where did they get my number from that would be some serious back tracing. I'm trying to dig a little deeper to find where the servers are located so far I know this is the host which is a reseller using reseller club: http://www.myorderbox.net/en/

It seems they do infact have a hold of cryptsys information as I have now received an email from [email protected] with basically the same as the text message(edited post on page 103 for more details)

wow that is scary, wonder how they got your number. Was cryptsy hacked and they got peoples personal info?

THIS IS NOW A CONFIRMED PHISHING ATTEMPT: https://twitter.com/cryptsy/status/687125569159467008

Weird - I just got a text message from the same number that sends out Cryptsys two factor auth code with this message:



I would take EXTREME caution when entering any details on websites that have not been confirmed ie the link they sent me(don't enter your cryptsy details as there is no actual confirmation that this website is even owned by cryptsy) I checked it out and this is a screen shot of the page.



Cryptsys website still looks the same probably still accepting deposits. I don't want to speculate but if this is malicious then they have access to a phone number I use which is unsettling.

EDIT: I have now received an email from [email protected] with the following:

Again please be cautious with any links you may click.

Hi, Cryptsy ceases its activities in the wake of the theft of most of Bitcoins from the COLD storage.

You can start a refund procedure at the link:


Please accept our apologies.

Cryptsy

Just don't leave any money there. They aren't being forthcoming. Anything you leave there, you should be prepared to lose.

You guys must have depleted the hot wallet funds on cryptsy. 

...I still have a few thousand there myself.
