With a great sadness I have to report my failure.

This week a cluster of VPS that i have been using for a few months as a private coin mixing service for my clients has been compromised. I've been in contact with my hosting company to figure out how my servers had been accessed. It appears that a Jelly bean android device that I have been using had been compromised and thats how they got access to the servers. Total loss from the hack is just under 100 BTC.  At this point my cold storage and USD reserve is only going to cover ~20% of those losses. I also can not release addresses because of the nature of the services that I offered it would possible to track the sources of bitcoins from my customers. I have already reached out to many of my customers this week to let them know I won't be able to continue the services that they have be accustomed to. Due to the nature of some of the services I offer, I do not have the option of going to the police to report this theft. I've had to shutdown my private Tor Site, My Public site, and my current Local Cash to Bitcoins services. Right now the current losses that I won't be able to repay sits at around 50K USD at current market prices. I want to thank the bitcoin community for there support over the past 2 years, you have helped push our sales to close to 1 Million USD. I took great pride in the fact that I had not lost .01 BTC in that time, until this week.
I will provide future updates when more information becomes available

Don't mind but it's hard to believe, looks like a happy thing for you and i think more and more sites will get hacked (in theory) soon like inputs.io.
People will stop trusting these kind of services.

I am wondering how can someone get access of server from a android device, i know there are many rats etc for android but a targetted attack isnt possible unless they knew that you access your servers from that  device and somehow they made you to install a unknown unverified app.

I never accessed those VPS from a windows box, only unix based computers. all the accounts(email,vps provider,etc) had two factor auth on them. A password reset was preformed on one of the VPS and the password was in clear text via email to my phone. Within an hour of the reset the server was access from an IP out of the USA, and it appears that was a proxy server.  My phone started crashing give me error messages that an unauthorized program has stopped the day before the password reset. The AV never detected anything on it, and I wiped it. I don't think its was compromised from the hosting company.


FYI: 30% of the coins lost are my own

I don't want to go into too many details about weekly volume etc, but if this attack was timed better it would have been 5x worse.

Due to recent Credible Death threats I've had to had to report the theft to the authorities. Also due to vandalism of my property and notes left behind  threatening my family I have no choice but to close all forms of electronic communication and relocate.

If you are a creditor you may contact at RandomQ@GreenBTC.com for a mailing address for legal purposes

I will be dissolving My LLC and Declaring bankruptcy for any personal liabilities

Any attempt to contact me for any purpose with any other form of communication, beyond the address above will be forwarded to the authorities.

Due the threats I have received a Emergency CCW from my new local LEO, any attempt to injure or trespass will be countered with lethal force as allowed by law.

This will be the last communication from this account

Sorry to hear that happened to you, but in reality nobody's going to do shit to you. Yeah, they'll dox you and send the threatening Emails which bits of info from your dox because that's all they've got. In the end though, they're not doing shit. Look at all that happened to Trendon Shavers -- NOTHING.
