Topic: What if most of the hacking of exchanges is the government? - page 2. (Read 2591 times)
Government would probably not be able to hack bitcoin if the owners uses airtight cold storage and choose a hosting provider that is trustable and a team of trustable employees. Most of the time, it's the inside job, not a actual security vulnerabilities.
All of them.
You might not believe me but there are people paid to take down Bitcoin or to hurt it every step of the way.
They know just how dangerous Bitcoin is to the Rothschild/Morgan banking cartels.

every day you hear a new article on bitcoin on a not so famous news website. what is this, a Conspiracy theory. and what next tinfoil hats 
Why would govt involve in this
If they are against it , they can just issue legal orders or if they really want to do it , they would do bigger hack , so the exchnge goes totally down not small stealings

They probably will do that in the long run and try cripple bitcoin via regulations and laws etc but those things take time to pass and bitcoin isn't really a threat at the moment, but I doubt the gov is stealing people's bitcoins though maybe someone who works for them could.
Yes Snowden showed everyone what governments are doing and what they can do if they are not stopped ^frown^
Do you think it is individual people within governments or a whole group within special sections?

Whilst I don't really believe the government was behind such hackings, this sort of thing could easily happen. All you would need is a rouge NSA employee who sees hoe easy it is to spy on certain bitcoin companies and take their coins at his own will. We already know the staff at the NSA have abused their position looking at and sharing personal images they shouldn't so theft of money or data is the next step up and could make them very rich so greed can always take over.
read the article in the OP ... crazy! not surprised though, Trojan's and viruses in the firmware/bios of hardware.
I wonder if it was possible to make a scanner to scan bios's and firmware on the motherboard and hardrives?
I would try it out for fun, although it would have to be from trusted sources for obvious reasons lol

Some but not most.
Another tinfoil case.
The sites were hacked because there is no dearth of hackers trying to make money.

Marginalization is a common tactic of a government shill.
The OP brings up some very important dynamics we all need to be aware of. Calling them "tinfoil case" only reveals your own ignorance.
To think the power structures behind central banking won't use every tool at their disposal to protect their interests is just plain ignorance.
Quite possible, I see govt hackers as key players interested in exploiting vulnerabilities in the btc ecosystem

This is not probably happen as I hope they have more important things to do 
. I am in doubt there is a logic reason for goverment to do that.

Then all the more reason to hurry up and get these decentralized P2P exchanges up and running.

I'm sure any big government's cyberwarfare division could hack any bitcoin exchange they want whenever they want. However I think they have more important things to worry about and probably don't care about bitcoin. I strongly suspect most of the big hacks on exchanges are inside jobs.
You could be right but I disagree that Governments or at least those in real power financially don't care about Bitcoin as it threatens the system they rely on.
I think its being grossly naive to think that Governments dont "care" about Bitcoin.
A system that doesnt centralize power is very dangerous to the powers currently running the show.
If current governments used BTC instead of the magic monopoly money they never stop printing, there would a lot less wars.
If you have to account for every single finite measure of currency, things get real interesting real fast.
It would be real interesting to live in a country where every single dollar spent by the government was visible on the blockchain.

Maybe just some low rank people that wanna make some money?
Might be too tempting have such non existent tech and don't use it to get some personal advantage

Well they do worry about bitcoin. As an alternative currency it could be very well competing against fiat and what they worry most is when transactions are all based on bitcoin and could lose control over the monetary system. However having said,I agree that it is unlikely that they are the one who carried out the attack.
yes jobs can hack the bitcoins...but its also yry that many compnies are accepting bitcoin as a payment too...so why they are using it when they can hack it
