Hi community,
I want to tell you a story about hacking Datacoin mail and twitter account.
All began when I received message from our promoter who works with Twitter: 'I cannot log in, incorrect password!'
I own
datacoininfo@gmail.com, so only I can reset the password. 'Strange', I thought.
Then promoter told me: 'someone posted address with invalid BTC\DTC donations wallet!' You understand: Twitter account was hacked.
I tried to recover password, but nothing helped: I simply couldn't receive mail from Twitter. All my messages to their support also stayed unanswered.
I waited for some time - sometimes it takes time to receive mail from Twitter. Soon I noticed tweet in hacked account: "#datacoin is looking for developers and anyone interested in helping us continue to grow. Contact
datacoininfo@gmail.com"
WOW, it was not ordinary hacker attack - someone has plans to gain control over Datacoin!In some minutes I got new mail to
datacoininfo@gmail.com : someone asked me about yesterday's mail regarding re-design of the site. After some conversation I understood that I didn't write any mails to this man yesterday.
Yes, you got it right:
datacoininfo@gmail.com was also hacked, and there were filters for many addresses, twitter support was among them. Also I saw unusual activity for it.
Now I changed all passwords, enabled 2fa everywhere (hackers didn't got password to other mails, otherwise they could take full control over
datacoininfo@gmail.com)
I want to sum up and tell you 2 things:
1. ALWAYS enable 2fa everywhere.
2. Datacoin seems very attractive to many of us, and someone wants to control it. Be aware!
