Title: Coindesk index up 23%!?
Post by: karlb on October 26, 2014, 12:40:13 PM
I woke up this morning and checked my phone to see the coindesk index (http://www.coindesk.com/price) up by 23%. From $354 to $435.
Not even a gradual climb, straight up 90 degrees.
Immediately I logged onto my laptop to look at the website.
It seems like this is an error as all the other exchanges that the index is based off of are still around the $355 mark.
Hovering over the information icon, it showed LakeBtc price as around $650, which I deemed as fake when actually visiting the LakeBtc site itself.
So this was obviously an error. What happened here? Accidental software bug? Or was this something more deliberate? manipulation? They got hacked?

That was a vapoury $88 price shift due to bug in coindesk BPI ticket, i guess now fixed, currently displayed daily change = $7.53.

deskcoin system also uses a computerized system that has a gap to be hacked, it could be this is the result of hacks hackers to disrupt the system coindesk, coindesk should have high-level security system, where the client account can be protected very well, even the system must be well protected ...  8)
