Title: Cryptsy is unsafe
Post by: barwizi on November 20, 2013, 07:43:54 AM
As i post this, i have been logged onto two seperate accounts each with significant balances and i've posted in the chatbox as proof. i even have a screenshot of a guys' account, i suggest you withdraw your funds quickly, not everyone is as honest as me. @ Cryptsy, i expect a big deposit in my account for not tampering with these accounts and funds and ruining your reputation in the process.

i tried waiting for a mod to come online, got bored. everytime i click support, it jus greys out and has that circle thing with no change. tried accesing my account a third time and ended up in another one.

i've given up on logging into to MY ACCOUNT for now, lest i end up in a very tempting account, or end up with access to the whole exchanges btc wallet...because then i'd have a new BMW.

So, let us see some screenshots.

I can access my own account only.

Maybe I should try logging out and see if I can get into a rich account ;D

barwizi,

Do you access the internet from behind a proxy server?  Or just from a home internet connection?  I have heard of some problems with picking up the wrong or outdated webpage when using proxies, but haven't heard about what you just had happen.  I did read in the chatbox when you apparently were logged on as jopeto650.  I also clicked on the Support button and it comes up ok.  Alternatively you can just choose Support from the top menu.

I agree that it should not be possible to do what you just did.

Post a screen shot of this jopeto account with a "significant" balance.  Or is this like when you said you were opening a crypto bank in South Africa?   ::)

ummm sounds exactly like you ARE already trying to ruin their reputation, not the first post from you with a 'something better be in it for me' attitude.

Yu have given us no reason to believe this ridiculous claim, without screenshots, or other proof.

As far as being logged into multiple accounts, possible but not likely. Cryptsy is composed of security amateurs but not that amateur.

The best thing anyone can do is simply move their coins to a personal wallet. It doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't manipulate the market and just keeps everything safe.

I do however foresee some serious "technical issues" that may result in a massive loss of coins combined with an inability to reach the site when the new UI is rolled out  :D


Best practice for ANY exchange, keep your coins in your own wallet and what ever happens doesn't affect you at all.

but it would be unfair to just post the guys account without hearing the full story from cryptsy. i got the auto response and an email, to which i've asked a few questions, once i get my response i'll link it.

Absolutely Cryptsy is safe.
I was there when this occurred,and it was addressed nearly immediately..Seems over-blown by a hater to me.

agree with bcx here

smart practice is to never keep a significant amount of your crypto wealth on any online source. only ever keep on any exchange what you're currently trading.

While I am not saying you are not telling the truth.

It is trivial to change the user name with something like firebug (like below). So the screen shot is not really very good proof.

uh....you do know that the site's owner acknowledged it right?  :P

and btw, it may be trivial for you but it's a mammoth task for me. best i can do is draw stick figures.

No, I didn't know that.

So any idea how it happened?

Did you just log onto your account and it came up with that users account?

It was overlapping sessions or something. They've been increased to 160 bit from 128 I believe

At least that's what I understand from what Vern said yesterday. Its been addressed officially. Yes, it did happen and he's aware and taking action


Title: Re: Cryptsy is unsafe
Post by: mellorbo on November 21, 2013, 06:33:35 PM
i must admit i had the same thing the other day except i diddnt manage to capture a good screenshot but i did get video, the users account i had was named (A Q) still dont feel safe so most of my coins have been removed and just trading the essentials for the time being. i also had the chance to fuck with that guys account but i diddnt as im too honest tho i do have his chat handle and e.mail but for their security i will not disclose

So everything is fine. No need for this "unsafe".

don't be naive..

we could theoretically see a news story with Cryptsy hacked or various people could be targeted now
and all blame could be thrown out in the wind..

optimism is stupidity by definition .

Her is your conspiracy spots ;)

say someone at Cryptsy wanted to fuck someone over ?
they could set up this shit lately so that the finger cold not be pointed at them and it would be the ultimate cover to leak loggin details to someone
and then when someone has the personal info or account access then can just say oh i dunno ..


why has this been seen now ? ..i never heard of this happening once since july
