[vlom]

once again.  More Ethereum Stolen!

An unknown hacker has so far stolen more than $471,000 worth of Ethereum—one of the most popular and increasingly valuable cryptocurrencies—in yet another Ethereum hack that hit the popular cryptocurrency investment platform, Enigma.

This incident marks as the fifth Ethereum hack within two months, following a theft of:
$8.4 Million worth of Ethereum during Veritaseum's Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
$32 Million worth of Ethereum from Parity's Ethereum Wallet accounts.
$7 Million worth of Ether during the hack of Israeli startup CoinDash's ICO.
$1 Million worth of Ether and Bitcoins heist in cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb.

Maybe stop using centralized shit like website based ICOs and slack.

Dumb, lazy and greedy ICO gamblers deserve crap like this.

Is this the same as coindash ?

If it's stolen yeah they deserve it but these stolen news are popping a lot of these days I'm starting to think that they are just playing "we got hacked" card while posting a picture on Instagram from the new island they bought.

Very bad news, unexpected enigma hack project to reach a total of $ 470,000 in Ethereum, I am following bounty does not seem to get anything from this project, also sorrow for this incident.

I wonder how the hackers are going to cash out all these stolen ETH though

[BCTBF]

I'm very shocked at what happens to the enigma and this is very bad news for everyone who has been involved in it, I'm still shocked that a company has been hacked and stolen a lot of money, whether the hacker can be traced and found? This is a huge loss for the enigma.

That isn't difficult to cash out, he can hack is more difficult than cashing out. There are many exchangers that accept. The account isn't tracked and anonyomous. He can split the money into some wallets, than sent to exchanger and change to XMR or Dash or coins that not leave track, After that everything will not be trackable

This is the worst news day.

I knew about the recent coin dash hack, I had no idea there were more hacks, and for more money.

Though from what I read the coindash could have been an inside job.

[Johnnywelsh]

Gutted was thinking of investing in Enigma. I wonder if the ICO will still go ahead or if the reputation damage now is too much.

[YelloAme]

I wonder if they can still a lot of money for the ICO after this

[bit-freedom]

Feel sorry for the victims and the projects, there are too many scammers around. Hopefully, there is a way to secure ICOs’ fund raising.

This one spread via their official Slack channel. Some previous ETH attacks were also spread via Slack (like MEW phishing hack). This is the reason I'm staying away from Slack channels. Better safe than sorry.

Hackers are investing their times in these ICO's because it looks like they are really profitable. This industry needs to increase their security in order to maintain it, and not affect any other coin in the process.

Probably they will distribute the bag load of eth into small chunks and cash it out later on....its quite alarming at the rate the hacks keep on coming is there some sort of connection in these projects, a loophole in the code used or maybe its an inside job

[shade_wrath]

People need to understand the term "Ethereum Hack", it means Eth network was compromised which resulted into loss!
On contrary, its all those SHIT projects with cheap resources and not enough money to get good cyber Security. Their negligence cannot be dumped onto Eth.

I hope this is not just another hell of a "please hack me" incident. They must already have a treasure accumulated after several successful ICO hacks done. These must be the same people. I hope lessons are learned already.

Just as no one can track stolen paper currencies not just cryptos. Let not pretend like stealing monies never existed.  There are loads of good solutions to the problems, why no ones is interested in using them is a mystery.

what?! is this statement true? what happened again hacked? why, they said that the security of enigma is so secured. why is this happening, what about the campaign can they still pay them?
