CRYPTSY stopping withdraw locking accounts without notifying users! Class Action

[barbeq]

This "phishing attack" might all just be staged in order to hide the fact that the owner of Cryptsy has run off with the BTC before his estranged wife gets her hands on them.

I am reasonably certain that cryptsy has been hacked by the people behind cryptsy-refund. They have gained access to at least some or all customer email and phone numbers. They may have gained access to more personal information than just that including SSN's and DL #s if that was available unencrypted.

This is a shitstorm.....

I know they got at least email addresses since I just recently changed mine to a domain I recently registered. They also text messaged the phone number I have listed there. Fortunately I never gave them my SSN or DL#.

This breach of may cause crytsy to incur big fines from the federal government if SSNs have been taken?

Supposedly the service they use to send email and text messages may have been breached...at least that is the latest I have heard...take it with a grain of salt.

From the text of the email, I think someone just wanted to broadcast the idea that coins were stolen from cold storage. Hence, the use of capitalization on cold. Also the grammar is strange suggesting that they may not be a native English speaker.

Regarding the list of emails/phone numbers, this could only have come from two possible places:

1. a hack of cryptsy or a partner
2. employee theft

Interestingly, if we think it's likely that the primary motivation for the mailing was to spread FUD and we look at why a Cryptsy employee may have been motivated to send out such a mailing, making it look like a phishing attack may simply been the best choice to allay suspicions away from it having been an employee.

I think Bruno Kucinskas did it.

well i had planned a pleasant evening of vigorous masterbation but after seeing this it will be an angry jerk !

Here is a statement from the man himself about today's phishing fiasco.

http://blog.cryptsy.com/

He also says another statement will be coming out within the next couple of days.

I know it isn't much, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.  I just said I'd post as I got info and I was just told of the blog post.

[addergebroed]

This is Terrik quoting BigVern I guess, also see post above mee, same sentence

Phishing Attempt:: There is a phishing attempt going around prompting users to go to a cryptsy-refund website. Do not go to this website or give your login details on any website other than the official Cryptsy website. There were two avenues of the Phishing attempt. One was via SMS, using our provider Twilio and gained entry into our logs and sending ability via a weak password on that account. The passwords on this account have been secured. The other avenue was via email using the same mailing service we use (Mailgun), but was not sent using our account. It is uncertain where the email list for this Phishing attempt was attained from, as we do not show any unauthorized access to our Mailgun account nor our internal systems. We are still investigating this matter. If you were a victim of this phishing, you should log into your account at Cryptsy immediately and do the following: 1. Change your password and enable 2fa if you don’t already have it enabled. 2. Check your pending withdrawals, we currently have withdrawals disabled so if you see one that shouldn’t be there you can request to have it cancelled. Regarding other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months, I will be making another post to explain what has been happening in the next couple days. BigVern UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF THE PHISHING ATTEMPT, ALL WITHDRAWALS ARE PAUSED

[Tsquared]

This is getting ridiculous.

A scam aimed at disgruntled Cryptsy customers is addressed within hours, but the "other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months" will be explained "in the next couple days".

I've finished my popcorn.

even if they got hacked, nothing changes. Withdrawals are broken since months.

The stuff at Crytsy seem to be the most incompetent people around. They need months to fix problems (which are still not fixed) on wallets that work fine on every other exchange.
At least one can be shure that even if they get this mess fixed, their reputations is gone (hopefully, otherwise new traders that know nothing about this fiasco will loose money at a later point in time).
And hopefully these fraudulent actions will lead to legal acations against Cryptsy (BigVern) and hopefully some time in jail

Previously I commented on bitebi9.com sending confirmation e-mails from the same mail service as cryptsy for log ins and so forth.

Anyone think there is a connection to that and whats happening now?


To think I would not have been involved if craptsy had let me take my funds A MONTH AGO...

i bet with you that bitebi9.com is run by Cryptsy (BigVern) maybe they use a chinese sock puppet to get the "ownership problem" solved.

Everything fits, BigVern is in China and if he would just have sold the website there would be no reason to be there.
And who would buy a site like cryptsy? the trading engine sometimes leads to impossible market states like the first buy is higher then the first sell.
And even after months of withdrawal problems they told the people that the new withdrawal system is so complicated that they need more time to understand it, which means they developed something that they don't even understand (but i guess this excuse was just used to get more time ripping off customers that were still allowed to deposit)

bitebi9.com even mentioned Cryptsy multiple times, like on the coins sponsors page (they fixed this by now) but a picture showing this, was posted some time ago in this thread

Wouldn't it be stupid to run another site with the same design and probably bugs in the code? I mean, who knows, but it wouldn't make sense.

Grossly negligent, you would expect more from a company responsible for a big amount of user funds...

So an expected "hacker attack" was required to force BigV to communicate with his users?

at least the domain is registered by projectinvestors which is Cryptsy

see http://domainbigdata.com/cryptsy.com
and http://domainbigdata.com/bitebi9.com

It is stupid to run a site that allows no withdrawals but still accepts deposits

Even the mintsy scam was registered by them :
http://domainbigdata.com/mintsy.com
http://domainbigdata.com/mintsy.co

But the cryptsy stuff insisted that they are not connected to mintsy...

Ok, TBH, didn't check that.

It depends on the poin of view, guess you know what I mean 
Just collect funds, report about "technical issues", let users deposit more and wait for a "hacker attack" which caused a loss of user funds. Was a usual business model in 2015's crypto world.

Even if they really got hacked. They are dealing with problems like braindead people and taking money although you know you will never give it back is crime and they just hacked the mail servers no word of any funds missing by now (which is my bet, they don't own all userfunds anymore)

This document contains several companies, found there Hashmax LLC which directly leads to Paul and Mintsy.co

So it's hard to deny.

Just my opinon: Cryptsy always had some trouble, mostly technical issues. But I think the bullshit started when Vern became greedy, like getting a part of the Cloud Mining pie with Mintsy, Paycoin. I'm still not sure why they removed trading fees but increased withdrawal fees instead. Just to fake volume in order to attract more users with the plan to "get hacked"?

because the users had massive balances but were not trading that much. so you just raise the withdrawal fees to get a part of the pie that doesn't belong to you

Paul is a scammer nothing else
