Poloniex got hacked!?

[1337leet]

Hey guys,

I'm not saying that poloniex got hacked but all ETH deposits are gone.

I deposited some ETH and blockchain tells me that they went through but they aren't shown in poloniex.

I tried to change my password and it didn't let me.

I thought it's maybe only my account that has got problems... but in the trollbox there are a lot of other people having the exact same issues.


Considering the news that DAO got hacked I feel certain that poloniex got hacked.

Read the news about Ethereum and DAO hack, all trade has stoped, plus network is being spammed to prevent further thefts.

Probably your coins are safe but you'll need to wait until trading is resumed.

since poloniex has been one of the biggest places that had ethereum, they may be disabling ethereum deposits to prevent people from dumping their ethereum so they can prevent this altcoin's crash or at least slow it down until they can get out themselves.

My opinion on it is just wait the admin of the site of poloniex because if you siad that here many will panic and they will create a bad effect in poloniex. Just wait . i think theres only a problem on the site or they have only problem.in the admin. I think he have solution on it if they got hacked .

What news - can you enlighten those of us who don't have any Ether or DAO?

Sure - they sell their own coins and their users have got bad luck and see how the price drops while their coins are frozen - that's a great idea.

I still think it has got hacked.

The blockchain shows that my coins are at the polo deposit adress - but they aren't shown on poloniex.

maybe they are hacked, it is not impossible.

something similar has happened once before with poloniex and ethereum, if i am not mistaken it was after the first eth pump when poloniex went offline before the price went down and many lost the opportunity to sell their coins before it is late. although it was short that time.

The Etheruem price is quite stable there now. If there is a big drop, some people will borrow Etheum to short, but the lending rate has not increased.

The drop from .027 to 0.21 must have been a huge number of coins that have been sold... And I don't think that any private person has such an amount of coins...

Thanks. How can open-source code get over-written like that? Was there no peer review to make it robust? I thought the whole point of making code open source was that everyone could look at it and find flaws?

It went through.  It's Poloniex witholding everyone's ETH to avoid a major dump.  This could be a request behind the scenes from the Ethereum Foundation itself.

Edit:  The 'request' comment is just speculation, so only take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, saw somewhere that that particular vulnerability has been described in 2015, I guess people didn't pay it enough attention.

I think not poloniex were hacked, but ethereum. read this https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/ether-price-plumets-ethereum-dao-may-be-hacked/. and may be disabled temporarily from poloniex to prevent ethereum we lost

Is that true ? it is unfortunate. whereas the ETH is one coin was very good, but I guess after this, the price will decline. I think, it really was a great hacker, because he can steal eth very much

this is one of the biggest reasons that i switched over to BITTREX for all my altcoin tradings. poloniex is too shady and they have been doing a lot of these things that make me not want to trust them at all.

I'll do so too from now.
These are my coins and they have absolute no right to freeze them.

ETH seems so good now. Probably it was temporary problem, nothing to worry about.

That's pretty shoddy. I guess they should have spent less time marketing and more on sorting known bugs. This is a death knell - people accept exchanges etc being hacked because they are localised events, but not the actual code on a contract.

Back to the drawing board for the Next Crypto to Replace Bitcoin!
