do we buy into REP, ETH, FCT, XMR and the other coins that are getting dumped?
Which will bounce back and which will take a permanent loss due to their reputation being permanently damaged?
I dont understand your logic.
Someone who own a coin did not secured it enough to lose them. What this has to do with coin reputation? This only give reputation to this person who lost coins and you would rather avoid him to store your coins.
The Hacker is also saying that he has the database of REP. dont know what sort of database...
Maybe the sale.augur.net database but I don't hink augur smartcontract/platform has been hacked, it's a problem of weak security of a single large rep holder (whale).
I may think if is it the personal hacked,
Yeh I've read that the rep whale was the specific target, social eng. + low security (he was using second verification with sms instead to use google authenticator 2FA). So the augur.net site has not been hacked and the list of those email addresses were taken from the slack channel (where basically all the email are visible).
No, I don't think there will be any hard-fork to rollback the transactions .
