I don't think people are "hacking" these accounts. I think they're being taken over using malicious MITM links, where users are clicking and then entering their username/password information on a fake site, essentially giving away their login.
I think the only way to combat this problem is to change the hover color of off-site links to red, warning users they're going off-site. As opposed to the current green highlight when they stay on-site. This would give unsuspecting users a fighting chance against the issue.
Plausible.. i seen guys hacked at Cryptsy by visiting a malicious site years ago.
It stole their cookie session login etc.
QuickSeller that is bullshit and i don't buy it.
No claim was ever made by staff here that hashed passwords were stolen.
And even if they were i highly doubt anyone is reversing them.
I think the vast majority are bullshitting.
I said not one guy i seen mentioned what his password was.
yeah that is a red flag.
Not one guy showed up to say hey mine was like fort knox.
As matter of fact i never seen one guy bring up the issue at all.
They seem to all be noob accounts then they post almost using a formula or template.
Unless the passwords are stored on theymos's servers in plain text i call bullshit on most of you.
Most are probably involved in chargeback type shenanigans.
This reeks and if you all don't believe me then look at how many are showing up and read them..
Notice any similarities ?
And yeah my password is tough i just said so..
Why should that matter if all these people are being hacked ?
If they are being hacked then it wouldn't matter what the password is then right ?
THAT was my point.
i have 0 worries.
No one is going to be hacking my account.
I encourage users to try though LOL
Oh and lets not forget the context here..
This place is about nothing more than NOOBS showing up and launching scams or joining SIG campaigns or account farming or trading shitcoins for profits.
We are not dealing with reputable people
They are all shady sleazy losers trying anything they can to scam and collect BTC dust.
yeah.. some.
I get it.
I am saying i bet MOST are full of shit.
Not all but a huge amount of them doing this.
@The Pharmacist
Any
day year decade now !
And i just get a feeling they are full of shit reading their posts.
I bet many buy an account and then have the original owner try and take it back after selling it.
See Muddafudda for an example.
Or theymos is not telling us about some magical new super hack that happened LOL
Oh and and.. why doesn't the site block users if they are brute forcing passwords ?
Does that happen here ? If not why ?
No site in this day & age should let users sit there and try and bruteforce the password.
2fa would be nice too.. better get donating guys
