根据服务器正式宣布，狗币在线存储供应商DogeVault.com已经被黑客入侵。
攻击导致该网站关闭，所有服务器数据被破坏。因此，在调查没出结果前，DogeVault鼓励用户不要把任何资金转移到其在线钱包的地址。
该DogeVault团队说：
“我们目前正在识别攻击和对用户资金的潜在威胁。这涉及到从备份数据恢复现有钱包数据。“
DogeVault已表示，将在24至48小时后，就其调查结果再发表声明。

$50,000 in Dogecoin Rumoured to Have Been Lost in Recent Hack
Online dogecoin storage provider DogeVault.com has been compromised by hackers, according to an official announcement from the service.
The site shut down as a result of the attack, which also saw the destruction of all of the service’s data. As a result, DogeVault is encouraging users not to transfer any funds to its wallet addresses while the attack is under investigation.
The DogeVault team said:
“We are currently in the process of identifying the extent of the attack and potential impact on user’s funds. This involves salvaging existing wallet data from an off-site backup.”
DogeVault has indicated that it will issue an additional statement on its findings within 24 to 48 hours of the initial post.
The overall loss of funds sustained by the site is as-yet unknown, though The Cryptocurrency Times has estimated that as many as 111m dogecoin (nearly $51,000 at press time) could have been lost in the theft.
Community reaction
The r/dogecoin subreddit was quick to react to the news, with users speculating on funds lost in the hack. Reddit user igi00 suggested a loss of more than 2m DOGE (roughly $918.56 at press time), while heri93 estimated a total loss of approximately 50,000 DOGE ($22.96).
Other forum posters used the news to highlight best practices for storing digital currencies such as dogecoin, including using cold wallet storage, while also sharing theories as to how the attack was perpetrated.
Next steps
First uncovered on 11th May, the DogeVault team says it will now look to recover existing wallet data from an off-site backup. DogeVault further suggested it would be investigating potential attack vectors – the paths by which the alleged hackers would have used to gain access to one of its computers or network servers.
At press time, DogeVault has not responded to a request for more information on the investigation and whether it will seek to reimburse site users for their DOGE loss.
Repayment plans have become a popular option for digital currency services that are compromised by attacks.
Even black market websites are in on the act. Most recently, leading online black market Silk Road 2.0 reported that 50% of its users have been repaid following a February attack that saw the loss of roughly 4,500 BTC.
