The 15,000 BTC Bitcoinica's funds are there.

You did a good bet, indeed.

Pirate and BS&T.

I think we'd have to lock the forum down if that actually happened...

Yes.

or it could be one of the various bitcoinca clones which popped up right after the burst.
btw OP: It's "hack" not hack.

Now that would some sophisticated hack, because, as you know, blockchain.info does not have your private keys

You're saying that Trendon Shavers, the guy everyone met in Vegas, is actually Bruce Wagner in a mask?

My money is on a fourth Bitcoinica hack.

Mr. Shavers will be a proxy to Mr. Wagner then. This help?

Bitcoin needs a prediction market for these things. Information would get out and affect the market, alerting those who have accounts there.

Information such as you get your password in plaintext from a new exchange. Or could be that someone talks about how he is going to break into MtGox, etc.

I'll take SatoshiDice. All you need is to change the deposit addresses with a vanity 1dicexxx

That won't bring in much money.
I suspect most SD players have the addresses saved already ;)

agreed, but it would still be a hack. Some forum members would sell their mother's arm for 0.40 btc.

I wonder if these people predicting for blockchain.info are talking about their mixing service or about the wallet service. Because the wallet seems to be somewhat secure as many things are done on the client side (and it seems to be stored in a non-standard way, which can't easily be opened using "standard unix tools" as previously announced), but IDK about their mixing service... is hacking the later that profitable?

Target of whom? You? As far as I recall, the thread is entitled "predictions for next hack".

Not much is stored in the mixer, 100's rather than 1000's.

As for the wallet service it would be very difficult for any intruder to modify the client side js unnoticed. Multisig support is not far off anyway.

A hack is great publicity around here.  Some enterprising person should come up with some thing that drives the price way up or down(on their exchange), dramatically.  Then, announce how the hacker got no bitcoins and is currently being waterboarded for his impudence.

The team publishes PGP signatures for the binaries. Check those after downloading and you can be safe from this threat.

Didn't this happen already? Hacker claimed access for over 1 year, modified progs, and there was a dump to prove how deep he got.

A database leak of Blockchain's My Wallet would be bad for weak passphrases. Everybody would have to move their coins. If it go unnoticed for a very long time, even worse. Having said that, fast comunication and attention would cause less damage on this wonderful service.

Yes, I was thinking Bitcoin-related hacks. That would be a serious blow.

Good point...best to focus on Bitcoin related hacks...there are all sorts of urban hacks that would be fun, but a little off-topic.

Now pardon me while I go see if I can hook up our municipal electricity supply to our water tower...don't go pee for the next hour or two, ok?


Title: Re: predictions for next hack

yeah couldn't help it there.  i've worried about glbse, mostly bc thats the only place other than my wallet i have bitcoins.  I've also thought of someone cracking the poker mavens software, and using it to cheat on sealswithclubs.eu  but so far that site seems really secure.


Title: Re: predictions for next hack

CampBX or GLBSE


Title: Re: predictions for next hack
Post by: gabbynot on August 05, 2012, 10:41:25 PM
I'm thinking GLBSE as well, but is it really that big of a target?  I assume most of the BTC just gets passed thru to the issuers.

Its more likely that individual accounts will get hacked than glbse itself because they are the soft target.
