Title: I am seeing a lot of HACKED/STOLEN BTC recently Post by: papaminer on October 01, 2013, 03:41:33 AM I am not really that active in this forum anymore...
but when I came back today... I am seeing a lot of hacked/stolen BTC... which is very unfortunate to those people who lost their HARD EARNED BTC.... So what is going on really? From what I can see... all the hacks were from "ONLINE WALLET".... someone requests a password reset and such... so these online wallets will send the generic password to the email... "WHICH" the hacker already have access to the victims EMAIL... so they see the password and go login at the ONLINE WALLET and send out all BTC....

I got scammed a couple of times also and lost btc because of it. always thought of it as a live and learn lesson. That's one of the reasons my people are hesitant about bitcoin

EMAIL HACKING.... if the email used in ONLINE WALLET was access by the hacker... the hacker can "REQUEST PASSWORD RESET" to the online wallet... thus giving the hacker the password to access all the BTC...
