Post by: tolikkk on January 15, 2016, 09:44:36 PM
Following months of uncertainty & customer withdrawal difficulties, Cryptsy has revealed that it can no longer go on, in its current state.

The digital currency exchange claimed in a blog post today that it was the target of a bitcoin wallet theft on July 29, 2014. The ‘critical event’, as Cryptsy deemed it, has the exchange alleging that 13,000 BTC, approximately, was stolen. The exchange also claimed a theft of 300,000 LTC, approximately.

Cryptsy alleges the developer of Lucky7Coin behind the theft, claiming the developer placed an IRC backdoor with Trojan or command and control capabilities.
