VIA COIN

OR STAY LEFT BEHIND

they are pumping rlc now

I can’t be the only one hoping they’re holding the hackers next exit pump coin

THEY ARE PUMPING LOW VOLUME COINS

DO SOMETHING ICX YOU PIECE OF SHIT

calm down, calm down

....that's not how it works. Bots aren't "third parties". They're your own software, that you host somwhere. Like a website.

And regular users got hit too.

how will he/they cash out all their profits? isn't there a withdraw limit on binance? withdrawals are blocked now too

public bots my man

Creating accounts is free. Before executing the heist he created a hundred accounts, sent some VIA to all of them and had them put up sell orders at an insane price.
He already got everything out the same minute the dump happened.

thanks
the funny part is that binance made huge money out of fees today

Gone. He probably followed some pnd group. I was looking at his posts b4 he deleted and he didn't seem to be responsible.

I guess.
they hacked from apps in ios/android

This just majorly fucked the entire market. See you anons in 2019.

Goddamnit, I had 1000 link there.

Romano strikes again, he put too much modafinil down his japseye and clicked market buy by accident instead of pornstars twitter pics

probably the best move now is to tether and wait for btc to drop?

My 2k linkies are safe and so is my ETH

I believe the news of this “hack” to be 30% bot users and 70% FUD posters/ trolls

i just tethered up. Fucking Binance like we werent already fucked enough.Bear is strong today

yeah we did well user
what a day

Fuck this market, cant even remember the last time we had two good days in a row.

It's the second half of january all over again
with this fud bitcoin could go very very low

Why the fuck is everyone panic selling? The hack is already over and it does absolutely nothing to bitcoin itself.

We are investigating reports of some users having issues with their funds. Our team is aware and investigating the issue as we speak.

As of this moment, the only confirmed victims have registered API keys (to use with trading bots or otherwise). There is no evidence of the Binance platform being compromised.

Please remain patient and we will provide an update as quickly as possible.

Edit: Withdrawals are temporarily disabled at this time.

If I haven't been hit by now, I'm safe right bros?

so nothing happened except some people with bots got fucked lol

all the panic sellers will fomo into btc later again.

mother of rekts

Buy the dip

well. at the MINIMUM, assuming he used 100x leverage which is improbable, he just loks 47k dollars
sucks

Yes. The hack was performed instatenously in one minute so as to ensure he could withdraw before binance caught it. If you didnt get fucked yet you won't get fucked.

Please god I need to get rid of these GOOK bags

Just checked on my stinkies on Binance, all good. Continuing to hold.

>50x short with 1 BTC the moment I heard about the API shit
>Closed short at $10,050 right before the bounce
>Bought back BTC on Binance at $9900

Thanks for the cheap coins, whichever idiot panic sold at the bottom.

This is exactly why I don't use apps.

Oh, and I'll tell you fags the most likely scenario as for what happened.

>Some faggot spreading malware, somehow, probably an exploit on an ICO page
>The faggot lies in wait and collects API keys of Binance users
>When the time is right, he directs all of the API keys to sell everything and buy his shitcoin
>He's rich

Simple as that. People who weren't using bots were affected as well.

Also, keep in mind that this is the only thing the malware faggot can do when withdrawals are blocked by 2FA.

It's brilliant.

going sub 9k?

Another point, could the affected people been victims of a phishing site?

well the binance guy on reddit says it's possible

Jesus, this is a tripple whammy of assraping
>Binance/Bitmex situation
>Japs regulating/banning some exchanges
>Mt Gox lawyer cashing out millions

yeah... but how did he collect api keys?
people are saying they didnt generate any

Most likely not. I've been warning people about going to random ICO websites they find, or see here on Veeky Forums.

It's the perfect delivery vehicle for malware when your target is crypto users.

Don't forget the Harvard lawyer saying Bitcoin is gonna be $100. This bear is going to be a long long one. Seems like a co ordinated effort desu
Got my VEN and REQ in a cold wallet, gonna try and leave crypto and check back in a few months

What's your VEN wallet? Ether-something? I got my NEO out long ago, but i still have VEN and GVT i want to get out

You can generate an API key if you have access to the user's account. It doesn't require 2FA.

See what Binance is saying. They're saying every affected user, whether they say they never used APIs or not, had APIs enabled.

The attackers must have somehow activated the API by finding a way around the 2FA.
It could also be an attack directed towards desktop platform users, since APIs are used there.

Either way, everything points to malware, and not faults in Binances system.

...

>Keeping money on an exchange

Darwin spared you

Don't worry. This isn't Gox.

This is a few hundred retarded people either getting malware'd or phished.

VEN is still an ERC20 token meaning you can store it on any ETH wallet. I use metamask and myetherwallet to access it.

How the fuck do people even use fake URLs. I always type the right address in the address bar.

Is it safe to try and check my binance account?

And, what if I gave API permissions only to view my trades (bitcoin tax). Am I fucked or ok?

If something happens to Binance, all of crypto is going to flip upside down anyways.

Right, myetherwallet. Never got around to using it but i'm not gonna take any more chances. Twice Binance has had me worried.

Two more years. Disgusting bear market.

yes its safe to login

Yeah. This isn't a problem on Binances end. Just a few hundred users either malware'd or phished.

you prefer that to mist? I'm new to ether wallet, please give me advice. The hack didn't get me and I'm scared that if I move my link off binance to a ether wallet it will get lost. How do I avoid this?

Get a fucking ledger.

Anything that means you have the private keys on your computer makes you an easy target.

Don't ask me, i've only got a NEO wallet that's active (for gas production), but gonna make a ETH wallet and whatever GVT needs.

I tethered through eth, expect a pump.

And it's not a fucking hack, lol.

Unless you have an absolute sterile computer that has a fresh OS to store your private keys on, you're almost better off leaving your stack behind the 2FA.

Once you remove them from behind the 2FA protection and the private key is exposed on your computer, you're fucked if you're already affected by any sort of malware targetting crypto users.

MOMMY MOMMY MAKE THEM GIVE IT BACK MOMMY THE BAD MEN TOOK MY COINS MOMMY MAKE THE HURTING STOP MOMMY MOMMY

LOL, the Binance telegram is filled with Indians asking where their money went

confidence is low right now. very low.
i noticed last night that every small downtrend was overextending about 20% farther than it should have, and the volume was much higher in the back half of every downtrend. this is because every time people saw a small dip, they panic sold. now with this large dip, panic selling has barely even begun.

I hope they pump chainlink to $1000

It was a one time event with VIA. They had to do it all at once, and get the BTC off the exchange as soon as fucking possible before Binance had time to react.

Either way, now is the time to buy back into alts for whoever sat in BTC/tether before this event. Before all of these poor faggots have to buy back in.

Jesus fuck, smart+vicious is a dangerous combination.

kraken.com/

kraken down??

Same here. No way am I using an app to access crypto accounts. Only one I use is delta to check balances, but that has no access to real money.

Most people are dumb.

I really don't mind keeping all my shit on Binance for the simple reason that my withdrawal limit is 2 btc per day. I will never raise it. My portfolio is worth like 25btc, so 2 wouldn't be life ending for me.

I've legit seen hacked records of login deets on Tor over the years and you be fucking seriously surprised at how retarded a large majority of peoples' passwords are

This maybe related to fake Binance referral links but I'm not sure.

Binance CEO response:

hope it recovers soon

Hahaha all funds are safe????

erm how about if the exchange is hacked...your 2 BTC withdrawal limit isn't going to save you then

It's not Binance Scamming Fuck.

this
lol

Does anyone think this is primetime to fiat-buy some eth?

I really hope I get all my ENG back.

Did you fomo on VIA brother?
I'm not judging you.

Everything got sold for VIA. And I've never used bots, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Fill a ticket at Binance Support.
I really hope, you get it back.

Yeah I'll be doing that when I get home from work. Shit sucks man, thanks though.

damn this guy is a savage

Do you use the mobile app?

Yeah, that seems to be what everyone has in common from what I've been seeing.
