Title: Bitfinex hacked? Post by: BasementMiner! on February 13, 2013, 11:43:51 PM I'm a user of Bitfinex. I noticed a huge amount of sells on ClarkMoody's Bitcoin app. I then tried to go to Bitfinex to go with the ride, however it seems it is currently down.
Could a cracker have gotten into Bitfinex's code base, and sold all the coins through MtGox's API? As a Rails developer, I was aware of zero-day Rails vulnerabilities released to the public 2 days ago. Could Bitfinex be suffering the same fate as Bitcoinica? Title: Re: Bitfinex hacked?

My guess would be that just a lot of people tried to benefit from the price swing. Maybe also a huge load of stop loss orders were fired The site was operative just while the first sell broke to 24.8 -- thus I think the selloff was not initiated from bitfinex itself Title: Re: Bitfinex hacked?

Post by: myself on February 14, 2013, 12:59:58 AM Not liking the looks of this... huge dump on gox at the same time the site goes down, reminds me too much of another hack i have a read only API key and the money is there @3k BTC and 76k USDTitle: Re: Bitfinex hacked? Post by: Ichthyo on February 14, 2013, 01:05:03 AM ....the money is there @3k BTC and 76k USD Ah thanks, good to know. So lets just lean back and relax and watch the BTC rate and consider how to deal with the situation when the smoke has cleared up a bit.... Title: Re: Bitfinex hacked? Post by: myself on February 14, 2013, 01:14:18 AM also seams orders got executed (last trade was at 00:51 UTC, 5BTC @21,72USD) so i expect that ppl who got stop loss are out of the market more details will be needed from Raphael
