Hacker κλέβουν 1000 Bitcoin από ανταλακτήριο της Κίνας
Hacker κατάφεραν να κλέψουν 1000 Bitcoin κατά την διάρκεια προγραμματισμένης συναλλαγής από το κινεζικό ανταλλακτήριο 796. Οι hacker όπως έγινε γνωστό είχαν παραβιάσει τους server του ανταλλακτηρίου τις προηγούμενες μέρες και είχαν αλλοιώσει την διεύθυνση όπου ήταν προγραμματισμένο να αποσταλούν τα Bitcoin. Ο CEO του ανταλλακτηρίου Zhu Rong έβγαλε ανακοίνωση στο weibo ότι ο πελάτης τους δεν είχε καμία τελική απώλεια και ότι τα Bitcoin του μεταφέρθηκαν αργότερα κανονικά στην διεύθυνση του ενώ και τα hot και cold wallet του ανταλλακτηρίου είναι ασφαλή.
Δηλώσεις για το θέμα έκαναν και οι υπεύθυνοι του ανταλλακτηρίου στο cointelegraph
“We have been constantly monitoring the hacking activities on our servers and 3 months back then we took the precautionary step to migrate our servers to a highly secured cloud site. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop the incident from happening last night. In the last 24 hours, our security team worked around the clock to trace back the codes and processes. At this moment, we have a pretty good idea of exactly how they did it. This was not a generalized attack. The hacker’s strategy was precisely calculated and well targeted to compromise a certain weakness on our server.
Anyways, I would like to emphasize that 796 intents to keep our business as transparent as possible to our customers and shareholders. You can always find the public addresses of our wallets and our monthly revenue numbers on our website. If you do the math, you can always keep track of how our business is going. This spirit goes to all levels in our organization. Once the loss was verified, our CEO, Zhu Rong, posted an announcement on his Weibo at his soonest possible time. This is how we commit to our customers and we make sure this will continue as long as our organization exists.
Precisely speaking, the wallet system is not affected at all in this event. The theft happened during the transaction of the fund. That’s where the hacker attacked.
Due to this nature, major shareholders have carried out their obligation to our customers in covering this loss of fund. The remedy came from the major shareholders’ unpaid dividend.”
