Title: 1 Satoshi Deposits with Label "Blockchain accounts hacked" Post by: sgk on October 01, 2014, 12:14:26 PM A few minutes ago my Bitcoin address received 2 small deposits (1 satoshi each).
I am aware of the 'satoshi spam' where many sites just spam random addresses with small deposits to advertise. But this address was labeled "Blockchain accounts hacked" https://blockchain.info/address/16JLbXYe5xmxGNX8hiqooyTUJnhitNNqTh Is there any substance to this? Are any Blockchain accounts really hacked or it is just FUD?

A lot of people will crap themselves when they see this no doubt, so well done whoever it is. ;D

Its just someone sending you spam. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=805857.0 My bet is on trollspam as well.

Some people might believe it. They are giving it a try. If the person believed it, then they got a success. ::) I think they have nothing to loose except this satoshis which is toooo small.. ::) ~~MZ~~ Title: Re: 1 Satoshi Deposits with Label "Blockchain accounts hacked" Post by: Q7 on October 01, 2014, 02:00:03 PM I can understand if it is for advertising. But that message doesn't lead to anything. Probably something like ddos attack to cripple the network

During the fall a lot may have sold uncomfortably close to the current price hoping to buy back lower. The trend might be broken now so they are scared.

I agree. If your blockchain.info wallet was really hacked, your would know it because all your bitcoin would be gone/missing. During the fall a lot may have sold uncomfortably close to the current price hoping to buy back lower. The trend might be broken now so they are scared. As mentioned above, anyone can create any "label" to their bitcoin address on blockchain.info as long as they control the private key (and know how to sign a message). Any message that you "receive" via blockchain.info is more or less worthless |
