Title: [NEWS] Gatehub was hacked again Post by: bbc.reporter on November 20, 2019, 03:31:40 AM This is a warning for XRP holders. You should stop using Gatehub. They were already hacked months before with almost $10 million stolen. The people behind this are clearly very incompetent.
However, the skeptical me would think that there was more that occured behind this hack hehehe. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QQIWW65Q9dw/maxresdefault.jpg Password data and other personal information belonging to as many as 2.2 million users of two websites—one a cryptocurrency wallet service and the other a gaming bot provider—have been posted online, according to Troy Hunt, the security researcher behind the Have I Been Pwned breach notification service. One haul includes personal information for as many as 1.4 million accounts from the GateHub cryptocurrency wallet service. The other contains data for about 800,000 accounts on RuneScape bot provider EpicBot. The databases include registered email addresses and passwords that were cryptographically hashed with bcrypt, a function that's among the hardest to crack. The person posting the 3.72GB Gatehub database said it also includes two-factor authentication keys, mnemonic phrases, and wallet hashes, although GateHub officials said an investigation suggested wallet hashes were not accessed.

Another reminder that no system is 100% safe. The risks of losing your funds by not having 100% control of your keys is really high. Not your keys, not your funds.

I already read some articles like this before in facebook issue that they are selling the users information. I think there are simillar problem. So be carefull in choosing and trusting digital wallet because this is the most important thing here in crypto world.
