Title: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: leigh2k14 on April 02, 2016, 03:35:12 PM Mine and another member of this forum have been hacked today, I lost 8BTC worth of alts, i'm not sure how much CosaNostra lost.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1416068.msg14399775#msg14399775 And before you ask, no I did not have 2fa set up (lesson learned). Have any others been hacked? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: bathrobehero on April 02, 2016, 03:50:52 PM Not me, but I just wanted to say that people reading this should really use 2FA before they also learn the same pricey lesson you and I did (it was a long time ago for me).

I would like to know as well, we're still trying to figure that one out. Make sure you have that 2fa enabled. So far it's only two of us. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: defined on April 02, 2016, 04:36:15 PM How did the hack happen? Did your computer get hacked or did someone guess the password?
I always get an email to confirm a withdraw, does that mean 2FA is active? I never asked for it to be activated. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

I always get an email to confirm a withdraw, does that mean 2FA is active? I never asked for it to be activated. I'm guessing they either knew our emails and brute forced somehow, or we have a keylogger installed on our machines. It doesn't matter about the withdrawal, they set a high price on a coin that they own and dump your coins, then buy the coins from them selves, so no withdrawal. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: onlinedragon on April 02, 2016, 04:51:19 PM Sad that you are scammed today and good you earn us to use always 2FA protection.
When you use 2FA is this always going without problems. What happens when you lose your phone can you still enter 2FA? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: shinep on April 02, 2016, 04:53:15 PM Always use 2FA guys...Its a wild world out there
Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: sandiman on April 02, 2016, 04:55:58 PM Thanks for sharing your experience, going to set up 2FA right now (was lazy as well).

Well, at least you shared the word and I respect you for that, use 2FA guys, 2FA! Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

Even though it is not the most safest method, I always save the qr image to my backup folder, just in case if I loose my phone. Writing down the private key would be the safest method (I don't remember if they show private key on Bittrex while generating QR for 2fa) . Test that private key to restore the code, to make sure you did not make any spelling mistake. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

I hate setting up 2FA actually mobile isn't my thing. I wouldn't mind if I getto login to the site regularly but if not, I would simply avoid setting it up. I don't login much to my bittrex account i just login in there once and got out since I prefer to buy coins on polo. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: andyatcrux on April 02, 2016, 05:40:30 PM Sorry to hear this happened to you. Yeah, 2FA is a MUST. But if you do have a keylogger you should probably get Spyshelter and then change all your passwords using a manager like Lastpass.

Post by: traK4Ubitl on April 03, 2016, 01:17:49 AM but to check first of course check your last skype contacts, any remote access users youve allowed.
I cannot see brute forcing bittrex a possibility. even if they had your username somehow. spoofing the site would be much easier, so if that's the case then others should be aware of a fake bittrex site. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Spoetnik on April 03, 2016, 02:40:15 AM it wasn't random.. you were targeted but by whom?
First guys i would suspect are Bittrex staff.. but i doubt they are behind it. But IT is possible ! And if you use similar passwords on other sites then i bet one of the other sites staff targeted you. See how these places can not be trusted? Or you got nailed with a keylogger maybe.. they get posted here occasionally in wallets. downloading any sketchy altcoin wallets? If my password was compromised Bittrex would be getting blamed.

Ryan Hentz (Bittrex) Apr 2, 19:51 Hi, We have looked into multiple accounts that were hacked in the same way as yours. All of the orders placed on these hacked accounts were done so from the users own machines as we have login data that shows this. The attacker also immediately withdrew the stolen funds via the api. The attacker seems to also be using a VPN as their account has lots of different ip's for the login Have you installed any wallet software within the past couple of days? Another one of the users said they had installed some items and even saw that the attacked cleared their log files (they were on linux), it could even be something like a browser extension.

If so what version, it may have been the earlier version were also infected and no one caught it. Did you confirm the check sum when you downloaded the original ISO? (If the check sum of your ISO , does not match , odds are that was your infection point.) Is your PC connected directly to a Cable or DSL modem, with no hardware Firewall in-between?

Then you don't type in the passwords and key loggers never see what your typing. Even with my 2fa I wait till the last second to type them in incase I'm being logged. I think these days rootkits can be very sophisticated and hard to detect. Not sure it would help but there are things you can use to help thwart more simple keyloggers. I once put one on my own PC to spy on my slutty ex-girlfriend. The one i used was called "Steel Keylogger" and it was free etc. (worked good too) ;D Point being is i know you could see it running in the processes list. So a good thing to know is what every process running does and then verify them all.. keep tabs on them! Another thing you can try doing.. Windows comes with a pre-installed onscreen-keyboard you can use your mouse to click on letters. Kaspersky Password Manager and Antivirus etc has one too pretty sure. (any OS should have something similar) I like Password Depot for many reasons.. First off i think you can use it free perm with up to 20 passwords (or buy / pirate it) The Android version is free though and cool too. One of the cool things it has is an easy to use high quality password generator. (right click tray icon & hit generate password) It also monitors your clipboard for spying (will alert you if something is sniffing your password & prompt you to act) The Manager window is pretty cool too.. nice layout and easy enough to add entries manually. It has browser plugin(s) Chrome/FF etc but even if those don't work or are not wanted you can still tap on the tray icon once then right click the pass entry and hit copy name / pass etc So you can choose to have them auto filled out on sites or do it manually. There is tools for security out there learn them and use them ! If you can remember the password it's probably crap LOL One thing you can do is Run Sysinternals Sigcheck (Windows) It is a command line tool that check Authenticode Digial Cert's on various files (also supports VirusTotal lookups) So it would give you a list of suspicious files to go and Google etc Just an example of how much stuff is out there.. Sysinternals + Nirsoft are great free windows programs. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Aesthete on April 03, 2016, 12:38:20 PM yesterday my bittrex account was also hacked

I feel sorry for all those who have lost funds. We need to immediately start a new thread here to deal with this issues. First thing is to get information from people who have lost to this hack. Second, they need to think and try to explain what they have done in the past two weeks like downloading apps, new website visits, browser extension installs, email subscriptions that they have made. So far, Bittrex since its beginning didn't fall into hacks. But it is happening now. People, please address your issues immediately.
Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Za1n on April 03, 2016, 01:15:15 PM I had a small amount of alts on Bittrex that wasn't touched and I also didn't have 2FA enabled. I have since enabled it, but may move my few coins off there anyway. Cryptsy is still too fresh in my mind.
Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: CosaNostra on April 03, 2016, 01:24:55 PM Here is the answer I've got Bittrex:
Quote Ryan Hentz (Bittrex) Apr 2, 19:08 Hi, Our records show that all orders placed on your account were done so from your typical login ip. This means the attacker somehow has access to your machine. Have you installed any new software recently? This includes things like browser plugins. The attacker also immediately withdrew the coins from his account via the api. There is no way to recover the funds. Please make sure to enable 2fa to protect your account from being breached in this way. Thank you, Ryan The whole day I'm trying to find any traces in my local machines. Nothing so far :( Any findings, leigh2k14? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: BitcoinHodler on April 03, 2016, 01:35:36 PM this really sucks, i have to remember change my password and enable my 2fa, good thing is that i currently don't have anything on bittrex

That makes 3 accounts accessed so far, there is a pattern forming. Have you been in touch with bittrex? Hmm, I'm starting to think that bittrex has been compromised. I'm going to ask for proof that my account was accessed through my machine. I suggest you do the same. This could be a bigger problem, than we think. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 02:26:57 PM I just mailed the following to Bittrex:
Hi, Please could you provide me with the logs my account as I wish to check weather or not my account was accessed from my machine. So far there has been three people that have lost all their funds, that doesn't sound like a local machine thats been compromised. Leigh. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 02:29:14 PM The thing is, that I haven't installed any wallets in the last few weeks, i've been keeping my coins on the exchanges.
Now there's been three hacks, it's puts suspicion that problem is on bittrex's end. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: defined on April 03, 2016, 02:34:13 PM It doesn't matter about the withdrawal, they set a high price on a coin that they own and dump your coins, then buy the coins from them selves, so no withdrawal. This makes sense. It also means my exchange accounts are less secure than I thought.I even see how anyone can profit from this: set a very high sale order on rare alt coins, and wait for a hacker to buy them all. I have never heard of a keylogger existing on Linux Keyloggers exist even in hardware:https://www.keelog.com/images/wifi_hardware_keylogger_01.jpg I have 1/8th of a bitcoin at bittrex, and it already makes me nervous having so much at an exchange. People with 8 to 14 btc must be trading a lot, otherwise it is much safer to withdraw to your own wallet. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 03:07:42 PM Just got this reply from bittrex:
Ryan Hentz (Bittrex) Apr 3, 07:38 Hi, It doesn't matter how many have lost their funds, if you all downloaded the same software it makes perfect senses. I'll get this to someone who can send you the login history data. Thank you, Ryan Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 03:09:57 PM The thing is that I stupidly been keeping my coins on the exchange, I haven't downloaded a wallet for several weeks, even then because i'm a linux user, I always compile from github source.
Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Aesthete on April 03, 2016, 03:10:48 PM .. no :'(Did you have 2fa enabled? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Namrekka on April 03, 2016, 03:11:44 PM Did you use a public wifi spot?
Is your wifi in your house protected? How many persons do have access in your (home)network? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

I'm on my home network, cable only, wifi is disabled, I don't like to use it. Due to the security and health implications. Only I have access to the network. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 03:18:28 PM I thought so. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Spoetnik on April 03, 2016, 03:27:03 PM hmm interesting how this is turning out.
I have sort of known Ryan and chatted with him a bunch of times last few years. And best i could tell he seemed like an honest guy. I last talked to him i think on Cryptsy's Freenode IRC channel. Where i do know Bittrex-Ritchie hangs out (and i believe is higher up than Ryan) SO you *may get answers if you go on IRC and find Ritchie. So i checked my account and it was fine and i have no 2fa either. I also have maybe $20 worth of coins LOL But this got me thinking if a hacker is trying multiple accounts why has no one come forward saying they got alerts from failed login attempts ? Like how would you know the account has 2fa or not unless you TRIED logging in? Like i have used my email on places and i notice some attempts randomly to get into my Steam account (all failed) Point being is i get a validation email + warning etc. So if no one is getting any alerts then how the fuck does the hacker know how to choose only accounts with no 2fa.. unless they work there LOL I could work at an exchange then rip-off all kinds of guys and i would of course pick the guys with no 2fa then i would tell them all well you got hacked noobs.. fix your Norton + updates yur Bitcointalk !

Means this is a cross platform attack, and the attack was from user IP's (yet to be confirmed) some sort of browser plugin hack makes more sense. Just checked my browser plugis in firefox, I didn't see anything that wasn't supposed to be there, that being said they could of modified an existing plugin. please mail the effected users with their login logs so we can double check that it was an attack initiated from our local machines. So how many accounts have been effected? I suggest that all people effected reformat your OS, it can't be trusted anymore. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

If our servers were compromised, there are way easier ways to get your money out. It doesn't make any sense. Sure, but they are also ways which make it apparent the site has been compromised. If an employee does it the way described above, and cleans a few accounts every now and then and everyone blames the users getting hacked client side, he can keep low profile and keep earning a little extra on the side. Or, a conspiracy theorist might think it's the Google's way to push people to link their identities to exchange accounts via the 2fa service.

Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: Spoetnik on April 03, 2016, 08:29:05 PM This is a weird mystery and where is the report(s) of failed login attempts.
AKA:email notifications on 2Fa users.. get it? Apparently i am FUD'ing.. I like to call it Scientific procedure. Being an inside job at Bittrex has not been ruled out. Nor has Bittrex itself being hacked. Sorry Bittrex guys but that is the truth.. your "word" is just not going to cut it. I wish i had local access to all machines to check them out for you all. I'd like to see the OP maybe build a profile of sorts. Start by listing any downloaded/Compiled crypto programs such as Miners or Wallets. And maybe list your Browser + OS too.. and if 2FA was on. (plus IP's of course) What is it here now 3 guys that have come forward? From the sounds of it i think the blame is either on Bittrex or the local users. And more & more i am thinking it was a staff member behind it. Maybe skimming account funds for ages with "you got hacked" stories. But who ever is doing it, started doing it too much lately. Bittrex you don't get the benefit of the doubt.. nobody in Crypto does. That is what i call common-sense. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 08:29:36 PM Does anyone know if it easy to disable 2FA in case you lose your phone? You need to write the private key on some paper and store it in a safe place, doesn't matter if you lose your phone then. Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: chiznitz on April 03, 2016, 08:30:07 PM Does anyone know if it easy to disable 2FA in case you lose your phone? I do pretty much all of the 2FA resets. There are 2 options here. When you enable 2fa we display the Secret Key. If you write that key down and keep it in a safe place you can use it to enable 2fa from a different device or a new phone when you get it. The second option will require you to provide us with some information about your account. Please provide us with the following information. Note that the higher the account value, the more details we will require. 1) Recent ip addresses you have logged into site with (You can find this by visiting, https://goo.gl/X3dxsh ) 2) Recent transaction ids for any withdrawals and deposits you have made to Bittrex 3) Recent balances in your account For Accounts valued at over $1000 USD we will require additional information for proof of identity. 1) 2 forms of government identification and a selfie of you holding one of those identifications where we can match your face. Please make sure the text on your ID is readable in all photos. Lastly, for those of you turning on 2fa, please make sure you do so from a computer that may not be compromised. If the attacker has access to your computer they may be able to see the secret key when you turn on 2fa and add it to their own device. So again, please make sure you are turning on 2fa from a freshly installed OS or a machine that was not possibly part of your accounts compromise. Thanks, Ryan @ Bittrex Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: leigh2k14 on April 03, 2016, 08:36:12 PM This is a weird mystery and where is the report(s) of failed login attempts.

I hope that your theory is not true, bittrex has been a pretty solid exchange, but if it is true then it would be the end for them. Even if it was true, how would we prove it? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today. Post by: richiela on April 03, 2016, 08:44:02 PM Firstly, please stop trying to generate fud; its completely unproductive. If our servers were compromised, there are way easier ways to get your money out. It doesn't make any sense. What I can tell you is that there have been multiple accounts hacked with the same pattern, all within the last 48 hours. I can also tell you that none of the affected accounts had logins from suspicious or unknown IPs which leads us to believe it is a rooted machine vs credential lost. Lastly, this isn't specific to an OS based on the UA strings we've seen which points to some kind of browser plugin/toolbar. Please crowdsource this to figure out commonalities and please turn on 2fa if you do not have it on. Thanks richie@bittrex Looks like i was mistaken... after a couple ticket responses and going back further in some cases... there have been login from IPs unknown. Please focus on finding a common denominator to these attacks. @spoetnik: it is complete fud and you know it. scientific procedures requires actual proof. I can tell you that we have not been hacked because the ramifications would be way worse and more evident. It is also not possible for it to be an insider because there are only 4 (3 founders + chiznitz) of us that work here. All of us have much easier ways to steal money if we wanted to. If you have actual proof, please provide it; if not, lets focus on a common denominator. I'd like an answer to this as much as everyone else. richie@bittrex Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

And i have seen you crying FUD on IRC too.. so i think you have a history on that already. FUD = an attempt to smear a coin or service with untrue information. That is what we generally think it means (although i disagree entirely and stand by the classic definition) Which is = F. U. D. What would those there words mean in the Context of Altcoins and their associated services and would it be relevant ? YES. With the track record of supposedly Legit exchanges you bet your damn ass FUD is warranted. And no sorry no there is no way in hell Bittrex deserves the benefit of the doubt. No exchange or service in Crypto does. And know what Bittrex-Ritchie? These guys all agree with me but they just won't say it. So you can drop this whole crying FUD routine buddy that shit is not going to fly and if anything will make you look overly defensive. Further more i would expect someone who runs an exchange to be a bit smarter. The procedure of Science has not changed for 100's of years since Al Hazen literally wrote the book on it. I know all about it and you DO NOT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Hazen He is the FATHER of science and wrote the rule book on scientific examination.. Which is precisely what a smart person does when confronted with a mystery. @Ritchie you have shown us you do not comprehend much here bud. You do not collect proven FACTS to examine info to see if it's a fact ;D That is bloody retarded beyond belief and i can't fucking believe you would even say that. Ritchie you said that and it's fucking stupid.. so stupid i can't even be bothered to read the rest of it. You lost you credibility with me now. You are coming across super dumb here. And overly defensive which may or may not be a bad thing. Quote @spoetnik: it is complete fud and you know it. scientific procedures requires actual proof. Scientific procedures DO NOT require ACTUAL "proof" Because the entire point of Scientific procedure.. IS TO FIND THE TRUTH ! There is no debate here.. i was right here all along and your railing on against me is a waste of time. So let me recap yet again for the 3rd or 4th time. - I am not saying Bittrex did anything ..just saying it -IS- possible they were hacked or an inside job etc. Which is defiantly plausible enough to warrant investigation or the users consideration. The only thing that would oppose that is you Ritchie demand we take your word for things. And fair enough we will but your being an asshole about it. WE ALL will take your words with a grain of salt.. do you know what that means? Get it? I do NOT hope Bittrex is bad and i have had great luck with Bittrex so i am not trying to FUD them. It's just that if we end-users do not look at all possible things we may miss something. Did you forget how i was right about Gox before it closed? And how i was right about Mintpal BTER and Cryptsy? I have had a 100% success rate at calling it and the proof is my dated comments. I am not giving a get-out-of-jail free card to Bittrex simply because i like the staff or it worked well or me. Fanboyism or Cheerleading has not place in Science and that is all we have here to go on. Cryptsy's JShock way back posted here a rant mouthing me off saying they had never been hacked when they had been multiple times.. he lied & so did Vern and their staff that vanished. History has shown us guys that strut around all legit & shit and they rip us off.. the list of them is endless. It's irresponsible of you Ritchie to demand we trust you fully 100% And it 's stupid if we do. All i am saying is we should look at ALL possible explanations for the mystery hacks / thefts. I made no judgements ! Lastly, if anyone got this far down? I can vouch for Chiznitz being Bittrex-Ryan. And i will say again i have little bad to say about Bittrex but i am not trusting & nor should anyone be. I am hoping Bittrex is 100% innocent in all this. We have had way too many exchanges go down scammy. @Ritchie think of it this way.. to me your are coming across not to smart here. Are you the guy who checked your servers for Malware? because you trying to come off making it look like your users are noobs and your the expert. When in reality both are on equal footing and both are subject to the same security practices. Why should we take your word for it you servers are malware free? Think about it.. your basically calling your users computers noobs and blaming them for it. So tell us what did you do specifically to rule out YOUR MACHINES were NOT infected?

Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Spoetnik on April 03, 2016, 10:52:32 PM Mine and another member of this forum have been hacked today, I lost 8BTC worth of alts, i'm not sure how much CosaNostra lost. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1416068.msg14399775#msg14399775 And before you ask, no I did not have 2fa set up (lesson learned). Have any others been hacked? before this topic you said.. Quote Some low life scumbag just emptied my bittrex account of 1300 rads, 800 exp and 15000 aur. They dumped my coins, but there was no withdraws in my withdraw history, and no withdraw requests in my email? I changed my password straight away. I mailed support@bittrex.com, i'm waiting for a reply. And for some reason they bought a load of EXCL and dumped EXCL: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-EXCL Fucking gutted. I have no idea how they got in. I'm going to format both my towers. Anyone have richie from bittrex's user name so I can PM him? So i am curious was your coins taken off the server lost? This sounds like the Cryptsy points hack incident where Cryptsy claims no coins left the server. See what i mean? Did some hacker got into your account OP and then make trades but did not withdraw your coins? Title: Re: Two Bittrex accounts hacked today.

I know your just exploring all the angles here, I ain't no scammer, far from it, i'm the victim. I worked hard trading to get those coins, I put a lot of time and effort in, only to find disappear into the either. Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: richiela on April 03, 2016, 11:00:32 PM Ritchie i am trying to be nice but your being a fucking asshole man. And i have seen you crying FUD on IRC too.. so i think you have a history on that already. FUD = an attempt to smear a coin or service with untrue information. That is what we generally think it means (although i disagree entirely and stand by the classic definition) Which is = F. U. D. What would those there words mean in the Context of Altcoins and their associated services and would it be relevant ? YES. With the track record of supposedly Legit exchanges you bet your damn ass FUD is warranted. And no sorry no there is no way in hell Bittrex deserves the benefit of the doubt. No exchange or service in Crypto does. And know what Bittrex-Ritchie? These guys all agree with me but they just won't say it. So you can drop this whole crying FUD routine buddy that shit is not going to fly and if anything will make you look overly defensive. Further more i would expect someone who runs an exchange to be a bit smarter. The procedure of Science has not changed for 100's of years since Al Hazen literally wrote the book on it. I know all about it and you DO NOT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Hazen He is the FATHER of science and wrote the rule book on scientific examination.. Which is precisely what a smart person does when confronted with a mystery. @Ritchie you have shown us you do not comprehend much here bud. You do not collect proven FACTS to examine info to see if it's a fact ;D That is bloody retarded beyond belief and i can't fucking believe you would even say that. Ritchie you said that and it's fucking stupid.. so stupid i can't even be bothered to read the rest of it. You lost you credibility with me now. You are coming across super dumb here. And overly defensive which may or may not be a bad thing. Quote @spoetnik: it is complete fud and you know it. scientific procedures requires actual proof. Scientific procedures DO NOT require ACTUAL "proof" Because the entire point of Scientific procedure.. IS TO FIND THE TRUTH ! There is no debate here.. i was right here all along and your railing on against me is a waste of time. So let me recap yet again for the 3rd or 4th time. - I am not saying Bittrex did anything ..just saying it -IS- possible they were hacked or an inside job etc. Which is defiantly plausible enough to warrant investigation or the users consideration. The only thing that would oppose that is you Ritchie demand we take your word for things. And fair enough we will but your being an asshole about it. WE ALL will take your words with a grain of salt.. do you know what that means? Get it? I do NOT hope Bittrex is bad and i have had great luck with Bittrex so i am not trying to FUD them. It's just that if we end-users do not look at all possible things we may miss something. Did you forget how i was right about Gox before it closed? And how i was right about Mintpal BTER and Cryptsy? I have had a 100% success rate at calling it and the proof is my dated comments. I am not giving a get-out-of-jail free card to Bittrex simply because i like the staff or it worked well or me. Fanboyism or Cheerleading has not place in Science and that is all we have here to go on. Cryptsy's JShock way back posted here a rant mouthing me off saying they had never been hacked when they had been multiple times.. he lied & so did Vern and their staff that vanished. History has shown us guys that strut around all legit & shit and they rip us off.. the list of them is endless. It's irresponsible of you Ritchie to demand we trust you fully 100% And it 's stupid if we do. All i am saying is we should look at ALL possible explanations for the mystery hacks / thefts. I made no judgements ! Lastly, if anyone got this far down? I can vouch for Chiznitz being Bittrex-Ryan. And i will say again i have little bad to say about Bittrex but i am not trusting & nor should anyone be. I am hoping Bittrex is 100% innocent in all this. We have had way too many exchanges go down scammy. @Ritchie think of it this way.. to me your are coming across not to smart here. Are you the guy who checked your servers for Malware? because you trying to come off making it look like your users are noobs and your the expert. When in reality both are on equal footing and both are subject to the same security practices. Why should we take your word for it you servers are malware free? Think about it.. your basically calling your users computers noobs and blaming them for it. So tell us what did you do specifically to rule out YOUR MACHINES were NOT infected? This is really the last time i'm going to respond on this topic. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I have a problem with unfounded accusations. If you want to have it out with me, feel free to join me in slack or irc. 1) FUD = Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. If you are causing those things without proof, I do believe it is exactly what I called it. As for track records, we are one of the only exchanges that has never been hacked or compromised. Sure you can compare us to other exchanges and past performance is no guarantee of future yada yada yada... By that logic, every business will fail because others have. So yes, i do take offense to it when people start claiming it without any data. If any data exists, I'd be happy to look at it and investigate. 2) Your logic about malware is flawed. Do you think if any of our servers were compromised in any way, all you would see is a couple of non-2fa'd account drained using a bad trading method? It doesn't make sense. 3) Lastly, I am not calling our users noobs, but we collectively are the experts here when it comes to security and how exchanges work. I'm not sure how anyone can claim something different when it comes to how an exchange works. I also get paid to do security for a living - I assert, rightly or wrongly, I do know more about this topic than most people. When faced with a problem, the most obvious answer is usually the right one once you have ruled out the others. Instead wasting our time with this entire line of discussion, I'd rather have users figure out what the common denominator is and narrow down what caused this. There's an obvious pattern; i'd like to find it. -richie@bittrex Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: richiela on April 03, 2016, 11:03:00 PM Mine and another member of this forum have been hacked today, I lost 8BTC worth of alts, i'm not sure how much CosaNostra lost. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1416068.msg14399775#msg14399775 And before you ask, no I did not have 2fa set up (lesson learned). Have any others been hacked? before this topic you said.. Quote Some low life scumbag just emptied my bittrex account of 1300 rads, 800 exp and 15000 aur. They dumped my coins, but there was no withdraws in my withdraw history, and no withdraw requests in my email? I changed my password straight away. I mailed support@bittrex.com, i'm waiting for a reply. And for some reason they bought a load of EXCL and dumped EXCL: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-EXCL Fucking gutted. I have no idea how they got in. I'm going to format both my towers. Anyone have richie from bittrex's user name so I can PM him? So i am curious was your coins taken off the server lost? This sounds like the Cryptsy points hack incident where Cryptsy claims no coins left the server. See what i mean? Did some hacker got into your account OP and then make trades but did not withdraw your coins? If this wasn't clarified before, your assertion is correct here. In all cases we've seen, the attacker traded down the balances and withdrew on the other side. No withdraw's were done from the compromised accounts. If that isn't accurate in any cases, please let me know. thanks, richie@bittrex Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Spoetnik on April 04, 2016, 12:01:47 AM The attacker traded down, and withdrew on the other side richie.

Thanks, Richie Hi Richie, Since the only common denominator for us who had coins stolen is absence of 2fa, could you provide detailed info on the attacker? Only you have a full picture of what happened or happens now. How many accounts compromised out there? Is that multiple or a couple? Do these accounts have anything in common except absence of 2fa? Are all the accounts of the attacker are new or he used some old accounts? Are all the IPs of the attacker are different each time? What coins and exact BTC/alts addresses were used to withdraw the funds? And the last question: Why in your opinion only Bittrex accounts were compromised? Meanwhile, I would strongly advise to turn on immediate e-mail notifications for all users on each entrance to bittrex with the detailed information like time, IP address, browser info and such and perhaps even on each trade the users complete. Needless to say this step would prevent further losses of your customers. I would also appreciate, if Bittrex, as a responsible business, would compensate my losses at least partially.

That's a lot (at least from my perspective), but it would be stupid for Bittrex to risk their reputation for such amount. Imho, Richie is right (I'm not kissing your ass!) to act somehow diplomatic and not to reveal some things (such as how many accounts were compromised). Bittrex also didn't announce it on Twitter, which is again the right way, because otherwise it may cause unnecessary panic.
Guys (those who lost your coins), I can only imagine how you feel about this and I'm really, really sorry for your loss, but it seems like nothing can be done here. :( Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: CosaNostra on April 04, 2016, 08:32:29 AM I don't think this is an inside job.

So far the only common denominator has been Bittrex. It seems like a 3rd Party should be called in to investigate everyone's claims. As far as the local PCs, you guys should make an sector by sector Image backup of the whole drives, to preserve what is called the Chain of Evidence. In case this goes to court, you can contact a lawyer to verify that. Bittrex should give as detailed an account of what they believed occurred with a Timeline of the occurrences. For example : If their logs show the trading went on, when the user knows his PC was Off, we know the Local PCs were probably not compromised. But Bittrex should have detailed Logs of the IP Addresses and Times, plus what coin addresses were used. Also Direct Question for Bittrex, this was a cyber theft , what law enforcement agency will you be reporting this too, as the victim's should receive this contact info so they can talk with the investigator. 8) Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: CosaNostra on April 04, 2016, 10:02:26 AM You can keep guessing what happened or do what Richie said and start trying to figure it out.

Now, when I set 2FA on all the exchanges I trade and changed the passwords all over, made a thorough examination of all pcs, updated antiviruses and firewalls, and bought me another big pack of condoms I can say that if my local pcs would be compromised the attacker would steal much more money from me easily :-X Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: spartak_t on April 04, 2016, 12:59:14 PM So far the only common denominator has been Bittrex.

If anything does go wrong with your account, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN! Bittrex in no way will except any liability at all. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=463202.msg14402160#msg14402160 Seems my account has been hacked. Unique password, only existing in my head. Coins seem to be dumped and then the hacker bought YBC and dumped them to himself for a low price because he couldn't withdraw... AMP and RBR both gone... Fuck... It cant be that good password if he guessed it or he had a keylogger on your computer. You should use 2FA to protect you from this. Haven't typed the password in over a year, was cached in browser. Scanned my PC with every available tool (+ is protected by ESET) but no keylogger found Password was unique for Bittrex and 14 characters long (random generated). But 2FA was not setup... my account is the same... password 12 characters with big small letters and numbers... 2FA not setted too :( is there some way to get contact with some bittrex support ? i like to see login history. Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: leigh2k14 on April 05, 2016, 07:45:22 PM More accounts hacked, this should concern the whole crypto community.
As one of the largest exchanges has had a massive security breach. We need to get the word out to as many crypto traders as possible. Richie has no clue, or is covering up, this is really sad indeed. I hope there's not more people that have had their hard earned funds stolen from them. I asked richie in the destiny slack channel if he had any news on who hacked our accounts, and he told me I should report it to proper authorities. Truely sad as he won't admit that the attackers found a way into his system, and won't admit any liability at all, it's quite clear that this was not a local machine hack, but a bittrex hack.

Feel free to have the authorities contact us. thanks, richie Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: CosaNostra on April 06, 2016, 08:05:36 AM I have hardly played quiet... i've been in here every day trying to help figure out how < 10 accounts got compromised; but at this point, it is not productive nor a good use of my time. Feel free to have the authorities contact us. thanks, richie Could you please tell me how exactly you did this, except sending everyone logs with the same info? Allright, you say that you guys are experts in security. First you say that all IPs were known and usual for the users, while even in the logs it shows as Unknown IP. So, after TWO DAYS you said that you were mistaken and IPs were unknown. First you say that there were multiple accounts hacked, and then you say it was a couple, now you say you don't care, because less than 10 accounts got compromised. You would feel better, if we would be talking about 1000+ accounts? I guess I shoud repeat my questions here: How many accounts compromised out there? Is that multiple or a couple? Do these accounts have anything in common except absence of 2fa? Are all the accounts of the attacker are new or he used some old accounts? Are all the IPs of the attacker are different each time? What coins and exact BTC/alts addresses were used to withdraw the funds? Why in your opinion only Bittrex accounts were compromised? Now, the most important question: Why you haven't enforced 2fa, haven't published any alerts, or introduced email notifications on each login/trade? When people say you played quiet, they mean that you did nothing to prevent more people from loosing their money. No announcements, no alerts, no e-mail notifications... Nothing! Have you put your exchange into maintenance mode or paused the trades? No! Why? Because I guess you care more about your profits, not people! You were silently watching people being robbed all these days :o That's all I wanted to say about it. Quote Ryan Hentz (Bittrex) Apr 2, 19:08 Hi, Our records show that all orders placed on your account were done so from your typical login ip. This means the attacker somehow has access to your machine. Have you installed any new software recently? This includes things like browser plugins. The attacker also immediately withdrew the coins from his account via the api. There is no way to recover the funds. Please make sure to enable 2fa to protect your account from being breached in this way. Thank you, Ryan Firstly, please stop trying to generate fud; its completely unproductive. If our servers were compromised, there are way easier ways to get your money out. It doesn't make any sense. What I can tell you is that there have been multiple accounts hacked with the same pattern, all within the last 48 hours. I can also tell you that none of the affected accounts had logins from suspicious or unknown IPs which leads us to believe it is a rooted machine vs credential lost. Lastly, this isn't specific to an OS based on the UA strings we've seen which points to some kind of browser plugin/toolbar. Please crowdsource this to figure out commonalities and please turn on 2fa if you do not have it on. Thanks richie@bittrex Looks like i was mistaken... after a couple ticket responses and going back further in some cases... there have been login from IPs unknown. Please focus on finding a common denominator to these attacks. richie@bittrex 2) Your logic about malware is flawed. Do you think if any of our servers were compromised in any way, all you would see is a couple of non-2fa'd account drained using a bad trading method? It doesn't make sense. 3) Lastly, I am not calling our users noobs, but we collectively are the experts here when it comes to security and how exchanges work. I'm not sure how anyone can claim something different when it comes to how an exchange works. I also get paid to do security for a living - I assert, rightly or wrongly, I do know more about this topic than most people. When faced with a problem, the most obvious answer is usually the right one once you have ruled out the others. Instead wasting our time with this entire line of discussion, I'd rather have users figure out what the common denominator is and narrow down what caused this. There's an obvious pattern; i'd like to find it. -richie@bittrex Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Aesthete on April 07, 2016, 08:51:03 AM Richie, I would have asked to give the information about how the stolen funds had been withdrawn, on what e-mail, on what bitcoin addresses and generally as much information about this account
Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Keketarac on April 08, 2016, 11:47:18 AM I have similar problem with bittrex account hacking.
2fa was disabled. I haven't logged couple days and when I tried to login today, I was asked to enter 2fa code, which, obviosly, I don't have. Looking at transactions from my FTC wallet in explorer, I noticed payout of ~350 FTC on 07/04/2016 and two times ~150 FTC day or two before, which I havent initiated nor approved. That is all available funds over funds that were reserved in trading order. Now I can't login to my account nor withdraw ~4000 FTC and 0,1 BTC I have. Also, FTC wallet on bittrex is in maintenance mode now, and BTC market also is blocked, no trading since 07/04/2016. Something big is happening.

That was not my money. I had ~4000 FTC and 0.1 BTC there. Somehow with those transactions they made 50 BTC and took them away.

Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Keketarac on April 08, 2016, 05:48:41 PM Bittrex is monitoring this thread, they say my computer is compromised, and that is not so. My bittrex account and mail were compromised, but still I haven't recieved IP adresses used for login on April 1st and 2nd.
They are refusing to take any responsibility in terms of bad security and refunding mere 0.2 BTC, although they should have forced use od 2fa, not leaving it as a option. Furthermore, talking about security, they unlocked my account's 2fa after just one email, so even if I had used 2fa, if my mail was hacked, bittrex account could have been not only hacked but unlocked by staff. Also, they haven't announced how many accounts were hacked. Looking at many coin price charts, there is evident and huge price drop on April 1st, so it must be huge amount of coins, which can't come from a handfull of accounts. This must be something going on on a big scale. They are making fools of themselves for cheap. Classic assholes. I don't care about 0,2 BTC and bloody bittrex, but it's thing of principles.

Yes, Bittrex, being an exchange, stores the funds in cold wallets. The withdrawals are processed through their hotwallet. Tracking your address won't work, as once you deposit your funds, they are transferred to the hot/cold wallets on the next sweep. ;D Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: orryde on April 09, 2016, 07:11:05 PM So what is bittrex doing about this?

(That why Law Enforcement has to be brought in, they can get a warrant for the cell tower records. ) 8) I guess I'm following you around now. You obviously don't understand how most of the exchanges 2FA works. Polo and Bittrex both use google authenticator which has nothing to do with your phone # and doesn't talk back to anything, so what you are saying isn't even valid. Reviewing this thread it looks like a very small amount of people clicked on something and gave an attacker their password. This last guy even says someone turned on his 2fa, which is impossible without having access to his email account, which a few posts before he mentions an unknown IP logging in to his email. Here you are the expert spewing foul, when its fairly obvious these users clicked something stupid or installed something stupid on their machines. Lol less than 10 users out of thousands and thousands and you think its the exchanges fault. You sure do beat up on all the exchanges out there. What is your favorite exchange? Seems you think they are all corrupt, maybe you should start a legit one.

You'll be asked for something else Then, a code will be sent to your phone via text, voice call, or our mobile app. Or, if you have a Security Key, you can insert it into your computers USB port. See Phone, in the above quote. Or if they used the security key instead , doubtful, but even so Google could cross reference it and give your some of the accounts the key is connected too, such as Gmail, Google, GitHub, or Dropbox accounts, which would lead to more IPs , which one of them will lead back to the thief. You are not one of those people that actually believe you can do anything on the internet and remain anonymous , are you? FYI: Even Tor won't keep you safe , if the right people are looking for you. Also what is this unknown IP crap, you guys keep passing out , network access and connection require an IP address, even if they are behind a VPN, you get the VPN IP Address, from there you hit the VPN provider with a warrant and get their logs which lead you closer to the thief. Even if they do it 20 times that next address is there to follow. 8) Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: kiklo on April 11, 2016, 01:35:36 AM Imho, its the victim's fault for losing their funds, but this thread should not be turned into in "I know better" type of opinions.

That is not the same as using the google 2fa open source code that does not link back to google at all. The exchanges are using the later. Oh anything can be traced if you have enough manpower. Looks like Bittrex gave the users all the information about who logged into their accounts. If those users want to find out who stole their stuff they should file police reports and get the process started. The problem is this isn't women at the shelter because their husbands smacked them around. It's because they were sleeping around with a trojan horse. Their machines were hacked, not bittrex, the burden is on them, bittrex is just one piece of information that they can obtain, contacting the FBI would do nothing for these people as the FBI wouldn't even bother doing anything with this.

My tablet doesn't have phone capabilities. If you did it this way the original Phone # is stored with the account. Quote Use Google Authenticator on Multiple Devices The Authenticator app is available for Android, iPhone, Windows Phone and BlackBerry mobile phones. If you however carry two or more of these devices, like an iPad and an Android mobile phone, you can configure the app such that same code is generated on all your devices. This is handy because you can then pick the one-time code either from your phone or the tablet for logging in. If you did it any other way then your Google Account is stored with a link to the 2FA account. Which means Google can list every IP, including hot spots your tablet accessed, and maybe even the GPS coordinates in the tablet depending on the brand. Also any Devices that have used that Google account can be cross referenced , Office/Home PC Internet IPs, & any Mobile Phones #. (More Tracking that anything 1984 ever dreamed up.) Any of which can be traced back to you if you used 2FA. So the only real question , is when are you guys that claimed to be robbed going to report this to the FBI, so we can get this show on the road. 8) Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: chilly2k on April 12, 2016, 12:07:13 PM I use Google authenticator, on my tablet, for Bittrex.

You also can use "WinAuth" and has nothing to do with Google. You can use it on a normal PC and not a phone. Also OP and the other victims mentioned that they didn't use 2fa. The intruder only used 2fa to get the API keys for his bot. The IP numbers are in the logfiles. But IP numbers doesn't say a thing, more....doesn't say anything.
The question stays how on earth did the intruder get the login info.

The victims must report the crime. The Tablet's only link is the Google account to the 2fa, so any other device that also has accessed the same google account, such as any mobile phone # that checked a gmail registered to that google account can be cross referenced. Example: If you ever checked your Gmail or access your Google account from a PC or cellphone that information was stored and can be cross referenced. Google can tell exactly which device you are using each time. But all our speculation here does nothing to actually catch the criminal. The victims must report the crime. 8) Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: kiklo on April 12, 2016, 05:52:35 PM I don't get the discussion about 2fa and Google.

Well if your email accounts got hacked too, it is because you were using similar passwords across the board, and they got hold of one (either from your mtgox account or your mintpal account) and used it as a base to figure out how to access your stuff. Make sure you use completely different passwords for every single account you have.

So how did the hacker withdraw without getting approval via that link? ??? That's a good question. Also interested in this. It looks like they traded the coins (rather badly) with another account. That other account could then withdraw. So in the below case. He had XMR and AMP, but ended up with sling. Its not save with Bittrex, my account was hacked too. Password: uniqe to Bittrex! No 2-factor auth. No other compromised account, no hacked e-mail as i know. Using linux on all systems. Lost about 7 BTC in AMP and XMR. Bittrex: no help. Insider Job? What i have learned (very old advice): leave no money on exchanges! For your information: Code: Login Time: 10/21/2016 06:50 then they did this transactions: Code: Closed Date Opened Date Market Type Bid/Ask Units Filled Units Total Actual Rate Cost / Proceeds Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: gloana on December 08, 2016, 12:32:31 PM Thanks for explaining this.
Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Strongkored on December 15, 2016, 03:56:41 AM Setup my Bittrex account with 2fa now, i just think email verification for withdrawal is secure but double safety for my account is the best way, i hope all member should understand about security, always make different password with another account/make uniqe, setup account email with phone number verification, use 2fa for all exchange account
Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Aesthete on January 13, 2017, 08:23:59 AM I have this version - I had an account on Crypsty with the same login and password. May be this database accounts from Crypsty came to bad guys?

Have any others been hacked? Many people will start activating 2fa to their account after seeing your post, really very bad for those stupid who hacked. Many hardworking people used their mind to make some profits in trading, but these stupid people simply hacking account it is really unfair. Better send a support ticket to them atleast you will get back your account. Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: DesertDuke on March 20, 2017, 02:09:18 PM I just saw this thread. I lost BTC on Bittrex too when I inadvertently clicked on a site that looked like Bittrex after I had googled 'Bittrex'.
Basically I was phished, the login page looked exactly like the Bittrex login page and when I entered my PW and 2FA I noticed that the miscreant then also had access to my Bittrex account and had placed all of my altcoins on AutoSell, it was frightening watching all of my coins get sold by someone else in real time !. I was lucky however, I just managed to insert my own BTC address from another exchange and transferred the resulting BTC to it before the miscreant could transfer them out, with less than a second to spare. I lost some BTC from the autoselling which sold my coins at a knock down price. Of course, in hindsight I could have just blocked the account by clicking on the auto email sent when I logged in but I panicked and wasn't conscious of that option at that time. That was a frightening experience and now I ALWAYS check that the exchange website is the correct one. I ALWAYS use the virtual keyboard in the OS, ALWAYS use 2FA and different PW's for all accounts, ALWAYS use a completely separate email for exchanges than for day to day correspondence. Good luck out there, it's a dangerous world ! DD Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: ccs5t on May 04, 2017, 03:19:34 PM Just had my account hacked too.

Good luck out there, it's a dangerous world ! DD I bought a 2D barcode scanner on ebay. You can get them used for 20-50 bucks. I created a 32 character password that is random gibberish, put it on a QR code, laminated it, and that's my lastpass password. All of my website passwords are random gibberish created from GRC's random generator and I don't know any of my passwords (except forums, they are set up on a way where I can type them in). The ones for these exchanges are probably 15-20 characters long. An example password would be "S,!60$9RF.UN`_=0P Lastpass fills them in so any fake websites the lastpass won't detect the site as valid. 2 factor is enabled on everything. The backup QR codes are stored in my safe deposit box. My lastpass recovery email address is a dedicated gmail account with it's own 32 character password, also protected by 2 factor authentication. I don't store that password on lastpass. Basically everything is as secure as I would make it. To steal my shit they'd need my 2 factor authentication device, an old droid phone, my qr codes, stored in my wallet, along with my lastpass login email address, and they'd have to get all this and use it before I had a change to go and change the passwords. I already have backup replacement passwords ready hidden in an undisclosed location of my house. Everything's as secure as I can make it. :) Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: majsta on May 10, 2017, 03:53:40 PM Last night lot of strange things happened. In total about 168K of FTC, 17.5K VTC and bunch of other alts were stolen(destroyed) on bittrex from me. In total 11BTC worth.
All of this happened just after I applied for enhanced account verification, well maybe day after, and that is strangest thing. Yes I didn't have 2FA, my bad but still I don't get what happened. He didn't do any single withdraw, instead he was dumping my coins and buying them again at higher price. He was doing that for one hour, imagine that! before that he was logged in for 3 hours into my account doing nothing. This could indicate buy - sell rotation and that in fact he was sending my coins over his bittrex account without withdrawing them then from there to send them over his account. Final "sales" happened on ETH and REP. Question is also this, how is possible that two persons can be logged in the same time to bittrex. Because I m always logged in, I didn't shut down my computer since last year, so keylogger or something is not an option. How is possible that someone could hack password who was unique and used only for bittrex. There is also captcha verification and he could pass it only if he had exact password, so brute force word list or something is also out of the question.

This was purely to destroy them all. Any thoughts on this matter? The way I understand it is that they have orders in (on their own accounts) on some obscure coins that are far outside of the normal trading range. If the market depth on those coins is low, then they can use another account to buy through the depth and hit their own posted trades. So for example they have shitcoins listed at 1 BTC per shitcoin. Shitcoin only sells for .0000001 BTC but the entire market depth of real sell orders is less than one BTC total. So they use the stolen account to buy up all the shitcoins including the ones they have listed for 1 BTC from their own account. Then when they switch back to their own account they have a profit from selling shitcoins for 1 BTC each. Basically any coin that has low market depth can be used this way. Bittrex is one of those exchanges that lets you be logged in on more than one computer at a time. I sometimes have my work computer logged in even though my home computer is already logged in. As opposed to poloniex which logs out any currently logged in session when a new one is logged in.

Same on what happens to me i never setted up my 2fa until i've been hacked by unknown guy who spread some bounties and asking our email to received his freakin freebies and the result of that he breached unto my bittrex account and learned so many things after that hack. Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: bosamfo on June 20, 2017, 08:19:06 PM So i was not crazy after all. The same thing happened to me yesterday (19th June, 2017) night too (close to midnight) although i have 2FA enabled with a verified account. Yes i have 2FA enabled even as i write, unbelievable but it happened. I posted in a group to warn members of my plight so they atleast move their hard earned money to their offline wallets and they laughed at me, and blamed for my loss 🙁
I did some search and realized i was not the only one on that day. Check this out: http://highoncoins.com/cryptocurrency-trading-tips/do-not-use-two-factor-authenticatoin-with-bittrex/#comment-12347 (http://highoncoins.com/cryptocurrency-trading-tips/do-not-use-two-factor-authenticatoin-with-bittrex/#comment-12347) I hope in the future Bittrex enables the possibilities of withdrawal confirmation emails even with 2FA, so at least one would stand a chance against the hacker if once email account is not already compromised. Such is the case in Perfect Money and Coinpayments So my advice is to please keep your hard earned coins/btc offline esp those you are holding for long term and not trading with. Thank you NB: please do not belittle my comments, call me names, call me a liar or worse and think or say to yourself "this will never happen to me". Ask me last week and i would have sung the same song. This hacking business is real and it could happen to you. Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: M4nUnit on June 21, 2017, 12:04:41 AM Hi all!
I got hacked on 19th June too, around 1am. The hacker sold around 0.7btc of Altcoins to buy Bitcoin. 2FA was not enabled, I did it right now. I don't understand something, I cannot see it in the login history. The orders were sent around 1am, but nobody logged in during this 19th of June. How is this possible? Any chance to recover these altcoins with Bitrex? Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: enta2k on July 27, 2017, 02:44:06 PM I guess you mail got compromised too.

Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Nicol3 on July 27, 2017, 03:26:52 PM I think it's the safest thing to do in you enable 2fa on your bittrex account especially now there are a lot who have been hacked. So to be safe and won't regret afterwards then better place a 2fa asap.

Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: Blake_Last on July 28, 2017, 01:40:28 AM I received a message from Bittrex that my account has abnormal activity generated from an unknown IP address. I had it protected with 2FA so I don't know how it was possible. The fact that I'm only using one IP address made it a bit strange. Does anyone here also receive the same message or notification from Bittrex? I've sent all my balance to different wallets and disabled my account for the meantime, but I still plan to create another account with them in case this security issue is solved.

I am beginning to get paranoid also about those hacking news, a lot have been hacked either Bittrex or the Poloniex site and I am beginning to get scared of this hacking. There are numerous phishing sites that currently show up as advertisements if you use a google search to find our site. The recommended solution is to make sure you always type https://www.bittrex.com into your browser so that you can be certain you are on our site. You can also check the certificate to make sure it's issued to us. Please make sure you also have two-factor enabled on your account. These phishing sites are advanced and get the user to enter their 2FA code twice so that it can be used for login and withdrawals. Visiting https://www.bittrex.com directly is the best route always to get to our site.

Also, is there such a thing as a browser add on that monitors for urls containing 'bittrex', and automatically redirects to the real bittrex? If not, could you do this in the windows host file?

Title: Re: Multiple Bittrex accounts hacked everyone enable 2fa Post by: claustro101 on August 30, 2017, 11:04:06 AM My account in Bittrex was hacked and I did not have 2fa activated, 2 BTC stolen. So I warned all my friends to activate it 2fa. I doubted their usefulness, they stole everything in 3 seconds.
A month later it is confirmed what I say. To my friend they have hacked the account having activated the 2fa. The 2FA is not worth anything at all. The thefts in Bitrrex are consented by the company. The thefts are produced by Bitrtrex employees and former employees. In Spain a group is being created to denounce this company.

I have activated 2fa since the beginning but I have an important question: Since one month I had the coming "problem ca. 5 times: After typing my code there came sometime an error note like: code is wrong, please check your timezone (time is correct and Im typing the code correctly and fast). The first times I was scared to type a second code after this error note, because i knew about this phishing things.. Does someone know something about this problem??
