[NOTICE] mcxNOW had a 3rd party leaked database run against the login system

[TheRealSolid]

mcxNOW on September 16 had over 500 unique ips scan a 3rd party (currently unknown origin) leaked USER/PASSWORD database on the mcxNOW accounts looking for accounts which matched the leaked database. The hacker then logged into about 50 different accounts and withdrew up to 4 Bitcoins after cashing out other coins in those accounts.

Firstly
1) If you use a unique username or password at mcxNOW you have nothing to worry about.
2) If you used 2FA at mcxNOW you have nothing to worry about

Any member of mcxNOW I advise you to log in and check your security center. Look for failed logins to help identify which exchange/pool/forum database has been leaked and is being tested on sites like mcxNOW! We can then warn users of that service before the hackers take any more of these users money. Thanks.

@RS,

How many threads on this topic do we need?

Edit: Wasn't this the "most secure" online exchange ever?

Amazing, this happens right after you launch the new feature.

Anyone with more than two braincells not fighting each other for survival can easily this is a created situation to promote your new upgrade.

Unfortunately there isn't much one can do to force users to use a unique username and password at mcxNOW. It is security 101 but some users fail to do it.

And we come back to the point that your exchange isn't the most secure given that simple fact.

That problem relates to every exchange and service. What site doesn't suffer from it? If they have a login system it applies to them.

I merely think you've overstated the security of your site as "the most secure". Hard to make that statement without actual proof of 3rd party testing against/compared to other exchanges right?

[drummerjdb666]

All fud aside I think the other exchange owners should keep up with this shit!!!  This is the third event I have seen in two weeks now!  


Btx  as much of an asshole as you are sir I wouldn't doubt if it was somebody like you doing this bullshit!  


It's fucking bad enough our world leaders can barely get along..


Why can't people in crypto get along either?  Why so much hate?

Without offering any kind of position on how scam/trustworthy TheRealSolid is, I fail to see how, if my password is "password" across all of my services, and for that matter my username is "gramma", how that is MCX's failing when someone figures it out and uses it to get into it, and B of A, and Mt Gox, and and and...

I'm not condoning the "attacker" if indeed that is what happened. You need to do some reading of Coinhunter/Realsolid going back to August 2011. Come back and let's discuss.

I coded the whole thing from scratch, including the exchange http server and had 3rd parties test it already, combined with numerous hackers testing it for the 5 months operational. It's never going to be "enough testing" in some people's minds, and it comes back to you simply not liking me boasting about something I personally think is impressive. You are free to have any opinion you want about my security and my claims, I don't judge you on it. And if you don't want to use the exchange due to it then that is your right.

it's not. I was merely pointing out how RS and his sockpuppets claiming mcxNOW is the "most secure" exchange ever is an OVERSTATEMENT.

Indeed and thanks to my security system at mcxNOW the people who have the same username but a different password at mcxNOW can help identify the origin of the 3rd party service which has been leaked. Hopefully we can find out soon and warn users of that site(s).

You didn't even address the part about actually comparing security tests between yours and other exchanges. Now if you had done that and a 3rd party (neutral) claimed your site as "the most secure" then fine. But until then, it is just YOUR opinion as opposed to facts that you are advertising to users.

Typical salesman tactics...

Many companies/sites make claims about themselves which are very hard to verify. It is called marketing.

In this case many people who read about the security at mcxNOW and know the system do believe it is the most secure out of the systems *they know*. I am not the only one, and you can consider it an untested marketing claim / salesman tactic if you want, no one will fault you for that.
