Title: Elaborate Scams through Hacks Post by: R_Block on November 21, 2017, 10:34:47 AM Hi all I am increasingly being frustrated at the number of hacks popping for Cryptoprojects. With Mt Gox CEO's still being allowed to keep millions from his company and Thether, Parity,etc losing their money. I wonder how easy it might be to collude with someone to swindle people out of their money claiming that "oh there was a hack...".

This was poorly executed testing of vulnerability.
I agree with the other statements though. However big time hacks and steals are nothing new in crypto I can remember number of 1000+ BTC hacks/scams from the top of my head. Irreversibility attracts all type of fraudsters. |
