Official Binance Announcement

*PLEASE READ* Regarding Unauthorized Market Sells

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.

Withdrawals are temporarily disabled at this time

>tfw didnt bother using API

lmao

all withdrawals disabled

while i wait for the value of my btc to tank

fml

lol

serves you right for trusting chink "programmers" with security

post pic or it dident happen

could you please explain an API to a brainlet?
My alts are all intact, but it'd good to know what to avoid in the future

An API allows you to interact with a web service through a third party program (such as a trading bot, or portfolio tracker in the case of crypto exchanges) instead of a web browser. An API key (basically a password the web service generates for you) is used so they know which user is accessing the API, so they know which users' account to access. What happened here was someone got access to people's API keys and was able to access their accounts to buy VIA at hightly inflated prices. This was more of a problem of end-user error (they were careless enough to let their API keys out) than a fuck up on Binance's part.

kek

YOU'RE GETTING CONSCRIPTED INTO THE VIA MARINES FAGGOT NOW HOLD THESE BAGS!

can someone greentext what actually happened?

How come it only happened on Binance, was the bot for Binance only?

jesus christ, my acc was spared. but even from my point of view, this post hurt like hell..
i truly feel for everybody affected...
let me tell you, since this is the last time you'll hear it from anyone on here...

i wonder, tough.
how many posts are legitimate and how much is opportunistic FUD aimed at binance as an exchange?

>we are now all VIA marines.
>we are not fucking selling

I actually have all my alts as they used to be, why didnt I became a VIA marine too?

Presumably because Binance users' API keys were the easiest to get. It might not even be directly related to trading bots, since I know the Binance API can also be used for accessing trade history and balances, for things like portfolio trackers or tax preparation software.

I guess I'm holding VIA now, can someone shill me this coin so I don't kill myself?

what's your btc address OP? Investor in Bitcoin here from the early, early days when there were constant threads on /b/. I'll send over 2 btc if you can prove your story

why'd you give your API details away? shoulda known better bro

Just hodl it's solid project

It's not too late to jump on this train user

larp, you'd have at least 90 viacoins

Absolutely JUSTed

>new exchanges coming
>mainnet launching soon
>whales are accumulating

It's absolutelly via-ble hold in the current market.

PLEASE BUY MY VIA BAGS THEY ARE HEAVY

you don't need third party to access an api, you can access from a browser via http.

Thanks user that made me kek

Kek

Lol literal LARP

whatever you do...
don't look at the developer profile pics on their website...unprofessional as fuck, to the point of me thinking it's a scam coin

Binance is dead guys, trust or don't but chinese whales just told us they lost around 500 millions.

it only affected people using a specific trading bot

That's true, but interacting with a website from something other than the browser is like 99% the reason APIs exist.

Kill yourselves via hanging

This.

Via is the new Bitcoin killer. Just hold till 2038.

Which one

You probably think you're funny, right? Don't worry though, karma has a way of biting people in the ass.

Been warning people about binance for the last 2 months, even digibyte accounts on twitter were warning about it, its not their first hack I dont know what you guys are doing but ok...

Just hold. Strong fundamentals and a good team.

It'll be $20 by EOY.

BINANCE.COM is now behind whois privacy but here is what the last whois had:
Shanghai Bijie Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd.
Shanghai city Chongming County Town East River No. 68 building F room 250 (Shanghai City Economic Development Zone)
Shanghai
CHINA

That is mainland China. What they claim now is irrelevant. Trying to hide their location or lie about it doesn’t seem too honest.

The hackers sold literally at 25x of the normal market price
Good luck getting 96% of user's balances refunded

>Daily volume 191,756,000
Via didn't even hit an all time high in sats. This was a fairly small hack. It only affects the people who lostmoney

bitcoin is slow as fuck
they didn't exchange btc to eth or ltc

2k eod

Basic rule for Hodlers, you fuck. For daytrading it´s a useless rule. Also DON´T LET YOUR COINS ON SHITEXCHANGES AND DON´T USE API.

Good you not trading piece of shit.

Level the playing field.

All my coins are fine because I don’t bot

>MFW

96% of users use API? Are you brainlet? I have my coins comfy at binance and nothing happened.

HAHA

I have API and nothing happened.

Nice digits.

Buy. This is a great buy opportunity

Also again, fuck cheating ass botters

sorry bro. godspeed

Most of it is fud. The same shit was thrown around during the visa stuff. Never underestimate people's greed by lowering market prices.

How do they actually make money with this though?
They just pump and dumped to themselves essentially?

kek

...

We’re still having shit like this happen..and they are saying we’re late to crypto.

hacker had a shit ton of via. set large via sell orders. pumped users btc into his sell walls to get around their 2fa and exit binance on his own account

you could go skycoin instead

>Start *sweating internally*
>log into binance.com and make sure url is correct
>do the little puzzle, beat 98% of users
>enter google authentication stuff, realize google can wipe me out
>figure out if they haven't turned me into the fbi yet, I should be good
>check balance to see if anything is gone
>BCPT Airdrop
>WTF?
>Oh shit, I'm hacked.
>realize everything is there plus binance gave me $3 worth of bcpt for having some of their crypto
>logs out quickly, trying not to jinx it

My fucking sides

Binance didn’t get hacked. A trading bot that uses Binance got hacked.

>literally at 25x of the normal market price
You mean 100x

>whales are accumulating.
I’m dying ova heah

Good riddance. You botcunts are worthless.

to be fair you deserve it for keeping storing crypto on an exchange hahahah KEK KEK KEK

>tfw got ada, ark, req, link all on binance
>too lazy to set up 3-4 different wallets
if there was one universal wallet where I could safely store all my shit I wouldn't have it all on an exchange but fuck this convoluted mess that is wallets currently

Luckily for you, Jibrel Network is releasing their universal wallet later this year, and the beta is set to come out in March.

time to buy the dip

kek

Best explanation so far is pic related.

AHAHAHHHAHAHAH

the jWallet thing?
from what I see it's only on the ethereum network tho?

hackers picked the shittiest coin to dump bags on ppl with lol well done

Thanks for the lulz OP. But no one should believe this post, he's clearly a larper.

even if he had bought at ATH he still would have bought 80 VIAcoins, not 2.

At first yes, but they will make it a multi-blockchain wallet in the future. I guess it'll work like an exchange account except you'll own our private keys.

he could have had a shitload on bittrex also. Arbritage sets in, sold his Via there and withdrew his BTC from Bittrex. Sent it to Bitmex and then 100x shorted BTC.
Heist of the century if true.

...

...

nice, that's exactly what I'm looking for
>releasing their universal wallet later this year, and the beta is set to come out in March
I don't see this in their roadmap tho, where did you get this from?

wrong one.

It was explained in the Telegram and in Medium posts iirc, the roadmap will be updated later this month, it was made quite some time ago.

Kek

Fucking hell. I didn't get fucked but now Binance won't allow withdrawals. What coin should I buy while I wait?

via obviously

the refresh accounts for months is retarded...they could have just generated an API key and store it...and today use a rest client to trigger massive sells

That's probably what they did

lmfao
FOOLS

U CANT STOP THE BOT
