Now deleting comments.

So it's
1. ignore
2. ridicule
3. out right attack

Why make that move exact when Craptopia is suppose to open for business tomorrow. Huh

Hired bitcointalk MOD to intimidate with DEL-power, that indicates fear not confidence.




If your comments get deleted then you are breaking the rules.

The only one you can blame for that is yourself.

You have lot's of media reporting hacked for the 3rd time.

The media has reported a lot of things. Most of it inaccurate.

As Satoshi once said "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."


Why not communicate DO NOT SEND TO OLD ADDRESSES on homepage JAN 15.

Generally the priority with a cybercrime is to preserve the evidence and disconnect from the internet.

When there is an announcement that there has been a security breach / hack people need to be told not to send more crypto because they cannot think of that themselves ?

Are you for real ?

Also ... hacked for the 3rd time?  No comment?


If someone steals private keys and people keep depositing into the compromised address then that is not getting hacked again. Crypto balances are kept on the blockchain. Once someone has a private key all transfers happen on the blockchain not the wallet.

Claiming that it is "another hack" shows lack of understanding about how public and private keys work.

Another update on Twitter: We have transitioned 24% of all wallets to our new secure servers.  Once the read only site is online, we will be keeping users up to date on which wallets have been checked and secured via the coin info page.
https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ/status/1101275730372059136?s=17

New secure server LoL 😂

They are seeing the implication of being silent all this time and now they decided to keep everyone in the loop on what they are doing.  Im assuming top coins are being secured first then hopefully they will allow withdrawals on those 24% secured wallet

They have only had access to their building and servers since the 14th of February - as indicated in their tweet. (A day before what the police announced in their news release) . Before that time they had little information. A lot of the information that was provided was drowned out by other comments.


https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/police-continue-make-progress-cryptocurrency-investigation

A search and seizure warrant was executed on their premises and server under the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. This would have given the police wide ranging powers of investigation and as the police indicated Cryptopia technical staff fully co-operated and assisted with the forensic investigation. From a police viewpoint they would have ensured they had the maximum legal authority to conduct the investigation due to the value involved (Crimes over $1 million being a serious crime in NZ) and affecting a large number of people. This would have also given them search powers over any servers of third party providers and hosts.

Unofficial thread - announcements regarding the Cryptopia security breach. is a complete list of official announcements by the New Zealand police and Cryptopia on the situation.  It has not been silence but announcements were infrequent.

While their communication probably could have been better they really didn't have much they could talk about.  Now that they have access to their building and servers again . (I'm assuming they got access to all their servers again) they have the ability to assess, secure and re-open. Keep in mind that their administrative staff were on administrative leave and probably knew as much as members of the public.

On 14 January 2019 Cryptopia suffered a security breach when an undisclosed amount of Crypto was taken.

Information is available but is easily lost in the discussion in other threads.

Since Cryptopia staff doesn't generally post on bitcointalk I've decided to repost their responses from other social media.

This thread is self moderated - it is only for posting announcements that are either from the New Zealand police, Cryptopia management or a reliable verified source

All other discussion or posts will be deleted.

This is not because I want to censor any discussion but purely so the announcements are easy to find and don't get drowned out by opinions.

There are plenty of threads that allow you to express an opinion.


This thread is NOT endorsed by Cryptopia. I do not work there and do not have a role there other than as a volunteer chat moderator.

I understand that some people are upset while others are more philosophical and trust that the exchange management will sort out the mess.


This thread is not for discussion - it is only to provide information to others from verified reliable sources. Media speculation can be posted in other threads about this topic but not here.

It is confirmed real. It is a generic letter that was sent to people who had contacted the police regarding the Cryptopia investigation.

Quote
While the NZ Police can state that they have handed our building back to us and that they are placing no constraints on the company resuming trading, there are a number of things that the company must consider first before any trading could recommence.

It is important to consider the timeline of this event: Firstly, the crime/hack/breach was identified on the evening of 14 January 2019. The company staff that identified the event immediately froze the exchange and locked down the platform; they then notified the NZ government authorities, first the NZ Police High Tech Crime Group and second, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC, a division of the Govt Communications Security Bureau or GCSB), third, the NZ Financial Management Authority.

Members of the NCSC flew from Wellington first thing the next morning at were in the Cryptopia office conducting interviews and gathering evidence by 08:30am NZST. The NZ Police High Tech Crimes Group, also from Wellington were in the Cryptopia office from noon on the same day and issued search and seizure warrants effectively taking control of the building and all of the systems.

In cooperation with NZ Police and NCSC they identified key specialist staff who were tasked with working with the investigators to clone systems to preserve forensic evidence for investigation.

This took 3.5 weeks to complete and our specialist staff have now turned to carrying the work that is necessary to ensure that assets are retained in a secure environment.

While the Police statement that they are no longer constraining our return to operations and trading, it would be extremely reckless for us to do this until we can fully identify the losses and ensure that the balance is absolutely secure. NZ legislation makes it a serious crime for a company or a director of a company to allow that company to trade recklessly thereby placing creditors assets and property at further risk. That work is now underway.

Some time after the publication of this topic account in telegram which have nickname @CryptoSarapal was deleted. If it really was not you, then ready to delete the topic. Looks like someone tried to impersonate you.

Another lie. Give up. You've been caught red-handed. You consequent lies have proven beyond doubt that it was you who made the fake telegram account. Only you could have made that screenshot from your outbox.


My Telegram nickname is in profile.
I hidden my email after this dialogue in Telegram. Before that, the email was public.

I also thought it was a fake. But I was confused by the same DGB address.
But, why would another person give the address of the wallet is the same as Alex? Or someone trying to pierce Alex.
I don’t know.




Give it up.






OP - when did this conversation on telegram happen? How did that person find you on telegram and why did you immediately believe it's Alex_Sr?

Edit: the above probably doesn't matter, seems to be fake just based on this:



The screenshot was taken from your own outbox (because it has the e-mail icon but your e-mail is not public) and your fake telegram chat shows it as if it's coming from the fake Alex_Sr.

616  Economy / Reputation / Re: Member of DT. Abuse of power on: February 25, 2019, 02:24:02 PM
SO.... we are meant to believe that he publicly posts the information so any DT can tag you.....but he offers to remove the tag a few days later for a fee ?

All based on a telegram account that has the same name that he uses for his twitter account.

I am more inclined to believe that the OP made a FAKE telegram account to make the FALSE accusation.

The proof of being a farmed account is convincing.

If you didn't make the account yourself then you are most likely getting scammed by someone pretending to be him.

I've sent Alex_Sr a message so he can comment on this accusation.

EDIT: Suchmoon just caught out the OP as a scammer making a false accusation.

Quote from: bisti

I can only say that everything is clear with this manager putting official announcement ON DISCORD with a lot of explaining

Let's make a group law sue

Nothing is clear, especially what will the court decide.

Compare the court decisions in MtGox (Japan), and Cryptsy (Belize, USA) as the most characteristic and different cases. At MtGox case the court decided very good, clients will get the most of the found, recovered Bitcoins, and in Cryptsy case the court decided to sell very big majority of the coins (smaller altcoins) to the only 3 persons for few thousands USD only to each of that buyers, as I have read.

Is that risk acceptable to you?

How much percent of your invested money do you plan to get in the case similar to the second one? Did you calculate that?



Actually - the MtGox funds would already have been distributed if it wasn't for the CoinLab lawsuit holding it up.

BenTheAnonMod is the paid PR
His mission is insulting our intelligence claiming they (still) don't know what happened. 6 weeks after it happened.
There are no facts or proof that your coins other than you entrusted them to Craptopia and POOF they are no longer yours.

I think he is sitting at home bored (it is 4 am in NZ) watching people attack his friends and family.

If people would say such things about people you care about. Would you say nothing ?

Can you please specify if low hashrate or a known vulnerability was the problem (or both)? With vulnerability are you merely refering to a more conservative max_reorg figure or do you think there is a more serious problem? If so, why can this be shared with the community or the devs when a problem in code is actualy found?

Space Blockexplorer is and has always been here: http://space.midnightminer.net/ , working fine as I can judge from daily use.
SJW Blockexplorer is since roughly a year here: https://sjw.netcraft.ch/ (this has been brought to Cryptopias attention even, also working fine)
GEN was unlisted because it's self-proclaimed dev Hort had an argument with Adam and it got delisted/deactivated same day (only quote of Horts post available: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205536.msg16038573#msg16038573)

Also I asked Lafu about Space removal in a german thread and only got referred to their coin listing policy in general. leaving unanswered if there is a problem in code they are unable to share info about or just the low hashrate that they saw as a danger for double spends in deposits.


I've sent you a PM.
