support: Vircurex get hacked Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: jackofspades on April 05, 2013, 04:30:51 PM Nooo, all these BTC related websites need step up their protection.
TO all hackers reading this, hack North korea intranet servers not BTC related servers!! Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: psybits on April 05, 2013, 04:35:55 PM From BTC-E trollbox: support: Vircurex get hacked From the trollbox! Not the most reliable source. Let's just wait and see Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: DarkHyudrA on April 05, 2013, 04:36:07 PM Seriously?
Do you really need to make a thread about one sentence in the trollbox? Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: btbrae on April 05, 2013, 04:39:02 PM The BTC-E trollbox is about as reliable as a pair of clown shoes in a minefield.
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: rayneh on April 05, 2013, 04:42:05 PM ye but btc e down aswell know thats pretty strange
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: paultramarine on April 05, 2013, 04:43:41 PM It wasn't just trollbox, it was btc-e support saying that vircurex was hacked. So maybe a bit more reliable. Then 1 min later btc-e went down.
Hopefully just DDOS on both... Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Notanon on April 05, 2013, 04:48:21 PM Quite a few Litecoin pools not responding either. I smell a rat...
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on April 05, 2013, 04:49:49 PM Damn it...just after ppcexchange.bitparking.com announced that it was shutting down and asked people to use vircurex and it get's hacked...even if it aint, why is it down?
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: paultramarine on April 05, 2013, 05:12:58 PM Update: https://twitter.com/@Vircurex
So... hopefully not a hack. Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: pyra-proxy on April 05, 2013, 05:16:40 PM There has been no formal news of any vircurex hack, quite the contrary, some recent downtimes have been UI updates etc. from the vircurex team themselves. Is btc-e rightfully starting to fear and fud vircurex now that vircurex is stepping their game up and growing market share hand over fist?.... It's the btc-e trollbox for a reason....
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: DigitalDoom on April 05, 2013, 07:07:45 PM I just trusted my wallet to Vircurex yesterday to buy some DVC. Knowing my luck, they probably did get hacked. :'(
Good thing I only put in what I could afford to lose. My bet is on DDOS...they've been happening frequently....We were all pimply faced little brats at one time ;) DDOS attacks, while disruptive and irritating, are nothing of any grave concern. Probably not a server in the world that hasn't been hit by DDOS at one time or another. No sense in hitting the panic button just yet. Things like this are for the better of the entire currency system really, it helps make networks more secure. Of course, I agree that all the effort would be much better spent on disrupting the threats to our world. But then, who knows for certain what the real threats are? Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on April 05, 2013, 07:09:37 PM Vircurex is back up with the following disturbing message:
Quote The system is not available, we are aware of the issue and are working on it I hope it's not the case of "The coins are not available(not anymore)". Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Mike Christ on April 05, 2013, 07:11:05 PM Glad I got most of my coins out just the other day :P Hopefully what I left behind is still there.
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: psybits on April 05, 2013, 07:13:39 PM Their server was overloaded due to traffic spike over the last two days, they are switching to a dedicated server as we speak. This is from their twitter account and the official thread.

Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: TsuyokuNaritai on April 05, 2013, 07:16:43 PM The coins are fine. Virucex has tweeted saying the wallets are safe, they haven't been hacked, and they hope to be back up by Monday.

Well it was fun for the 45 mins I got to play. Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: glendall on April 05, 2013, 07:24:44 PM OP should prob update the thread title to 'not' hacked. could save someone a heart attack :)

This made me laugh so hard. srsly, ive got tears. Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Hippie Tech on April 06, 2013, 12:30:28 PM The crypto currency world seems to be under attack.
A couple of days ago, Canadian Bitcoins had their new bank acct closed for no apparent reason. Could this be related to the exchange and pool shut downs ?

Or is that someone else.. maybe Bitfinex. I may be getting them mixed up.
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: psybits on April 07, 2013, 09:48:23 AM Official announcement from Vircurex is that it will be back up today at 14:00 GMT Sunday 7th April. They are making some changes and switching to the dedi server to handle the new traffic load :)
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: TheDarKnight on May 10, 2013, 09:46:28 PM So, has everyone been screwed by this hack attack? Or is it just an unfortunate few?..
Title: Re: Vircurex gets hacked Post by: Walter Rothbard on May 10, 2013, 10:45:18 PM Could everybody please stop handing out fake Vircurex twitter accounts? The last time Vircurex had an issue, this happened, and kumala confirmed that wasn't a Vircurex twitter account.
The only source of info I know on Vircurex that is genuine is kumala's postings here on bitcointalk. |
