No that's a lie . Binance is going through technical works, nothing critical has happened . And its not broke , don't worry

Just stop believing in anything McAfee says.
He is a full fledged shiller now..
Binance has posted on twitter and reddit about their maintenance and upgrades and believe me such things takes time. Lets just sit and wait till we get back to trade.
meanwhile, they were opening a window for people to cancel there orders. This would not be possible if it was hacked.

I think biance is fine, I truly believe that if there was an issue, they would alert the public. They have good business practices and are strong with their communication. I trust they will be just fine and continue with their growth shortly after reopening trading.

He said 'rumors' so It shouldn't be taken seriously but I wouldn't be surprised If that was the case, as he have contacts with Jihan Wu who may have people from inside Binance. With that being sad, It will take more then a hack to take Binance down, the trading volume is on billions and they are making millions daily, even If they got hacked, they could easily refund their users.

Nope, this is official statement about that it has not been hacked: https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/961647955965915136

Please read it. It seems fair for me. Maybe it's just a technical problem. No reason to be panicked right now.

Mcaffee could be right. I have never seen a maintenance that happens without announcement to the users and why would it take about 12 hrs for an upgrade or maintenance. It is either Binance has been hacked or they detected a flaw in their system. We will know in due time


Title: Re: Binance: Hacked or not?
Post by: limmousine on February 08, 2018, 06:31:43 PM
if we look at the argument there, it seems that no serious problems are happening and I suspect that the offical account mcafee la is being hacked.

the binance site has been overloaded because its users are getting more and the system should be upgraded. this is a reasonable problem, because if there is no maintenance and not repaired, then the binary site may go down.

John was misinformed and he has confirmed the same tweeting about about that to the binance tweet. Just make sure that you should not keep coins that are meant for long term hold at exchanges.

McAfee is not even claiming that they are hacked. He is just throwing the rumor out there, that there are screenshots being circulated (where?) which are possibly shopped, which may or may not indicate that binance was hacked. It's not even a statement, he's just saying something for having said something. I have no idea what his purpose is.

and take a look the official account of binance is https://twitter.com/binance_2017/
but if you take a look at the bottom that account is just a fake account https://twitter.com/blinance_2017 it contais small Letter of L
and that fake account already collected more than 3 ETH

I don't really care about what John McAfee said :)). He's delivering FUD to all other traders. LOL. He's received money to tweet like that, IMO. And it's not the only tweet that he tweet for money. I'm still waiting till the end of 2020 to see he eats his own dick on TV when Bitcoin price still doesn't reach to 1m$. LOL

Oh, is McAfee the only one who uses his twitter as a promotion platform???
My experience tells that at least 95% of celebrities does it, not only in crypto.
And don't worry about McAfee's d.ck, I'm sure his wife takes care of it. ::)

This is why we must support decentralized exchange,
Centralized exchange like binance or any other major exchange will be prone to attack.

Recent binance down might not necessary be an attack, but we must be prepared for such event :)

Definitely not a hack. I don't think there's a well respected exchange would lie about such a lie if it happens. There's nothing to hide if it's an attack, as this would ruin their image and super negative from public relation point of view. John McAfee probably got nothing else to do in his life other than getting paid to tweet whatever he's told to.  :-X

They are just having some system upgrade so they can accept more accounts in their website,binance is the best exchange nowaways and it requires less fees than these major exchanges bittrex and poloniex,and binance's security has been always excellent.I dont think they are making this up they arent hacked like what McAfee said,he is just making this hack thing all by himself.

The maintenance of Binance seems to have been announced before, not hacker attacks and scam as the news. Binance maintenance to avoid the occurrence of unfortunate events such as hackers attacked appropriated the entire property. And now Binance is back to normal, eliminating all previous rumors.

Post by: romero121 on February 08, 2018, 09:13:51 PM
With each and every exchange there is possibility of hacks. It is our responsibility to keep it in a secure manner enabling the features available to decrease the chances of hacks. Binance today went on a scheduled maintenance, that too might have interpreted as hack. The media does such kind of work and I don't know what benefits them in spreading news in the opposite manner to the reality.

I would really take McAffee's words with a huge grain of salt.

But yeah, no hack.  This is where the magic of blockchain tech really shines.
It is an open source ledger so anyone can view the blockchain to make sure things are fine.

A logical explanation for this shutdown, is that there was a spike in trading activity that the servers could not handle.
I imagine it had to do with the small mini pump in prices we saw yesterday along with them listing 3 new coins in two days.

For me, I think it is fantastic that they shut it down to fix the problem and communicated with the community.

Other exchanges that have been having problems dealing with volume lately do no such thing *cough cough poloniex *cough cough hitbtc
They just let deposits and withdrawals hang in limbo, incorrect sell/buy orders be displayed, and server lag.
You need to realize that it is actually binance that is losing the most money by shutting down, and them doing so to fix a problem gains confidence.

Let me share my version of what happened. Binance widely uses trading bots, which, for example, makes completely impossible to trade on spreads there. But even the best bot algorithm can't anticipate all cases, and my guess is that someone found Binance bots vulnerability.
Now Binance developers probably patching their bots. ::)

Post by: Stradivarioos on February 08, 2018, 10:27:00 PM
No, they did not. By the way, I like that Binans has chosen a fairly good time for upgrading and other work. I mean - for many who keep the coins and now in a panic do not know what to do with them and want to sell. Binance, so to speak, restrains them from stupid steps.

People are just speculating too much and too worrying about the hacking event of an exchange, maybe they just got traumatised by Mt.Gox while I'm here, even if the exchange is hacked it won't harm me because I always saving my assets in my own cold storage or paper wallet.
However, if this exchange turns out to be "really" hacked and getting closed down, there will always appear a new exchange just as you see, so many exchanges trying to compete with these.

if Binance was hacked, they would not have dared to show the world their blockchain wallets.

For those who are experienced in IT.. you would know that delay in system upgrades is not uncommon.

Especially for complex systems such as an exchange software. I rather they take their time than to rush and

be hacked later due to a human error.

For those guys who get worried when such a small delay occur, they are the ones who sell at the slightest

bad news and will never make the kind of 100x profits...be patient

Mcafee is really trying to be a relevant person in this game, i hope he stops with all these fud. Let the binance team do their job and i'm pretty sure no one will lose coins there, a big exchange will not jeopardize their reputation by making lies to the public.

Binance is not hacked. All the rumors about the hacking of this exchange are a deception for the purpose of manipulating the market. This is another attempt to throw bitcoin to the bottom. Do not believe these rumors. I am sure that the exchange will soon begin to work after the maintenance.

Best of luck to them!

First of all, McAfee is huge shiller, i stoped following him long time ago, it just doesnt make sense. On the other hand its wierd that binance really went off like that without prior announcement, because it is one of the biggest exchanges right now, so they should be working like the best do, always transparent, we might wait and see what happens but there are small chances that it was hacked right now, its not impossible, just not likely in this case maybe

Binance provided on Twitter both their Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet addresses as a prove that all the money are still there (also, remember last month when Kraken was offline for maintenance way longer than they previously announced and everything was fine). So far, it looks like this is another McAfee`s "false positive"   :D

The Kraken down was quite a success for me. Due to the outage of several days a sell order has been dropped, which saved me a lot of money. And furthermore they set the fees to 0.00% for the whole January.

Would be nice, if Binance would do something similiar. Maybe we get some "AirBnB" (https://www.reddit.com/r/BinanceExchange/comments/7w5b09/would_a_bnb_airdrop_be_called/).  ;D

should last couple hours but they extended it over two days. Are they
trying to cover up some hack, or they really had some problems with

You need to read more details on their telegram official channel. They constantly updating community out there. Binance just got out of sync of all wallets and it will be running soon. Actually they don't give any ETA for the actual time when exchange will be live again. Stop listening to FUD from other user but just read what admin post, It will really helps to have peace on your mind.

Although it looks like binance didn't get hacked, it is a little bit worrying how they didn't announce the outage in advance. Even though there may be no bad intentions behind it, such sudden outages definitely look fishy and reduce people's confidence in the exchange.

Binance refuse to accept that they're hacked and nothing more but just  server maintenance.
It's not impossible that the speculations were false but Binance don't want to scare their clients that their servers and networks are compromised and hijacked.
All the informations today against Binance were just speculations but, in my case I'm not a Binance user but I really want to know what's going on because I'm a part of this Crypto market community too.

Yes the technical support was doing their best to restore the good service in the trading site, that's why more people could've do the usual trading activities they had. Hopefully the situation can be normalized as soon as possible so that everyone can have an active trades to do. Nothing to worry about the safety of the trading funds, because its been secured by the admins of the site.

Oh c'mon! Don't believe about Binance getting hacked. It's the best cryptocurrency exchange that we have today, and there's no way that it's hacked according to the owner himself. John McAfee himself want to create some FUD in hopes that he could buy some coins in the market at lower prices. Nice try, John McAfee. ;)

I love Binance to be honest, and I owned some few coins there like TRX and others that I got purely from commissions (I think the trader I referred was kind of active in trading, so I'm lucky).

Is McAfee still even relevant? Worst guy to follow in cryptos. His success is based on trading bots that followed his tweets lol

The screenshot says the exchange will be ready in less than 12 hours. But John Mcafee insists the exchange is hacked. https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/961662107786899456

Binance was never been hacked. As per their CEO (Chanpeng Zhao) the system was upgraded that's why there was issue of accessing the binance.

Binance is hard to hack. They only maintain the site to upgrade. I checked their wallet. No money has been transferred. This is very secure and congratulations. They have reduced the exchange fees to compensate us. Great

I don't believe on the words of a person who can't even justify his previous statements against bitcoin and cryptos.
They aims to target cryptos by attacking leading crypto exchanges by their false allegations to damage their reputation. 
Manipulators are active these in media and in market too, McAfee is one of them so i repeat don't trust this man.

There have been many tweets about that. However, looks like right now everything is working fine and Binance said that they were not hacked and all deposits are safe.

No, they weren't hacked. It was just a bunch of FUD and it gave me yet another reason to consider everything John McAfee says with a HUGE grain of salt  ;D

Binance is not hacked because they clearly said in their tweets in twitter that they are just undergoing into an upgrade for their site and they also gave their address for their customers and doubters to clarify if they really get hacked so i checked their addresses and it clearly says that they did not get hack so there is nothing to worry.

It's not easy to sustain a good exchange since the popularity of binance spread to the whole crypto. If they exceed the time they've given to us please wait more because they are doing their best to make binance a strong and maximum security exchange. It is normal in a maintenance that always overtime because of having some difficult issues. But still I don't want to risk my tokens in exchanges that always have some errors in their servers, it's hackable.

This was due to a technical problem, remember in January Kraken was out for maintenant for 2 days, this is due to the millions of people joining the crypto world, but I understand it is annoying

I believe that in fact the binance was hacked and since every owner of their trading platforms is trying to maintain a reputation they can always state that now it's not just strips that are technical works and would be something like that

Nope, they are just overloaded. Many people wants to join and it is usual these days to have hick ups on exchanges.
If you ask me don't worry. Everything will resolve in few weeks.
