This is probably their exit strategy, I would not be surprised if all this was inside job to bailout with clients money.
It will be interesting to see what will happen to people that were in charge for that exchange.
I am sure that some people will not except that their money got snatched with some breach/hack excuse.
Only because someone give access to the police doesn't mean that they should immediately be abolitioned from their responsibility.
Your money was their responsibility and it will be very hard for them to stay in the business after this fiasco.
So many red lights on cryptopia exchange, non function support, more than 100 markets "maintenance" for months, then 51% attack that all coins are missing, then hack or exit scam... This was two months before cryptopia's hacking: https://www.ccn.com/claim-crypto-exchange-lost-500000-due-to-aurumcoin-51-attack/ |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

at this point, when a single IT operator can have access to all the private keys of an exchange, that handle million of dollars, I think any exchange will ever be 100% safe. When the prize is higher than a certain amount, there is no honest man, everyone has his price.
AND, cryptos are barely traceable.
A single IT operator had all the keys ? no way i cant believe that they where that insecure. The handling of this is Piss poor imo why not have an updated statement on the website let us at least know some of whats going on. The theory is: it was a on a core server. ALL OF IT, while it was handled amateurish. |

I can only be happy of the 35% of my funds withdrawn a few days before the hack.
Unfortunately I start to consider lost the remaining 65%... Luckily, I only had less than 25% of my crypto on cryptopia. Bitgral hack was much more catastrophic to me, holding more than 50% of mu funds at that time (I will never accentrate so much again on a single exchange)

Thanks for sharing that. Early feb that doesnt sound to bad. I didn't see my coins on the list of stolen funds so thats something but we wont really know until they reopen I guess. Im hopefull. |

If the cryptopia hacker can't spend the stolen funds maybe cryptopia could offer the hacker 10 pct of the total too return it i don't know how something like that would work but it's worth a try I'm sure cryptopia users be way happier too lose maybe 10 pct and get there accounts back if possible just a thought I'm sure it's pretty hard too execute a plan like that but desperate times. Desperate measures

Be careful with who you communicate with. With situations like this phishers and scammers try to take advantage of the uncertainty. Make sure that when you communicate with the police that you use the contact form on their website or their email finishes with @police.govt.nz
Same applies with to Cryptopia emails. @cryptopia.co.nz. Make sure they are not phishing scams.
Do not use links in emails or answer "questionaires" that give away private details unless you are certain that you are talking to the right people.Genuine authorities or exchanges will never ask for your password or private keys.

I am afraid now we can consider cryptopia case as lost  There is a list of stolen cryptocurrencies (with amounts) https://github.com/elementus-io/cryptopia-hack/blob/master/README.md It is about $16M USD overalll and with current market condition I cannot be optimistic so no BTC stolen? Uhhmmm... If the cryptopia hacker can't spend the stolen funds maybe cryptopia could offer the hacker 10 pct of the total too return it i don't know how something like that would work but it's worth a try I'm sure cryptopia users be way happier too lose maybe 10 pct and get there accounts back if possible just a thought I'm sure it's pretty hard too execute a plan like that but desperate times. Desperate measures
how could be impossible to spend stolen tokens? |

From cryptopia discord from the ceo.
For those who are querying the NZ Police e-mails referred to, they are legitimate and are copied to me by NZ Police. We will respond when we have substantive facts to report when the investigators give us approval. Until then we are tied as the authorities do not want us to make any statements that might by accident exacerbate the situation and cause more damage.

This is most likely a lie, someone threw this picture into the tweeter and all got lost. It is not in official sources. |

lol posting that link (anyway, the message is old 2018) we just did a small step towards bankuptcy that is a defeat for everyone in my opinion. I hope no one has intention of envolving lawyers, they just completely fucked up Bitgrail situation. |

An official sounding message asking you to fill out the attached questionnaire sounds more like a phishing attempt. What is the original source of this message? What details does it ask for? |

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