NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[marcus03]

There is no way this can be right. If that was a true random hex number with that many digits there is no way it could be cracked easily. Can someone else input on this?

The second and third accounts had no 256-bit public key (no transactions out) so someone possibly could have accessed them via a collision. As someone else mentioned though as all three accounts were accessed (basically at the same time) it may be more likely he has malware on his machine.

Does the destination acct have a public key yet?

Nope.

Errr...the hex string in question is just a big number in decimal: 3.39197779385E+27 is what it converts back to.
Might be possible that someone is running a bruteforce attack on all the numbers, but seeing that 3 accounts on the same PC were compromised at the same time, malware/trojan is a much more likely explanation.

Getting a feeling of deja-vu here, feels like the EpicThomas story again

Are there any trojans out there with the ability to read copy/pasted text ? Not very up to date with the magical world of malware.

Nope.

So it fits the pattern of the prior hack. The unsolved one before the tainted download. NXT ends up in darkNXT acct and sits there.

I downloaded this software today, and the download matches the hash shown on the site.

If so, this indicates that your client was not the problem.

Either your OS is infected or somebody somehow got access to your passwords. How did/do you store the passwords?

You made a mistake somewhere.
Converting Hex to Dec will make the string even longer. Something over E+70. It should be safe with this length.

Apart from this jump today because of Bter.com, the price is depressingly not going anywhere - actually moving down.

You would think that NXT would gain a momentum by now, that it be proven that it's not a scam and that that would reflect in price, but no - it's not doing anything.

There should be more hype, more demand...

Tell me honestly you don't fell the same way? (put aside todays move)

Passwords are stored in a Keepass 2 database that is locked by a masterpassword that is >50 digits long. I have 2 USB backups of that file and one that sits on my computer.

TwinWinNerD:
check browser history - where did you download NRS?
check download history - where did you download it exactly? really no nxtcripto.org..?
check hash of downloaded client

More than 50% increase since yesterday? I don't see your point...
Wait a couple of days and see how it works out.

edit:
Asking "Why am I not rich yet" After a max of two month seems kinda cute

I use firefox and when i rightclick on the download and choose: Go to download page, it takes me straight to: http://www.nxtcrypto.org/nxt-coin/client-download

Now i really think i got myself a keylogger/virus.

Fuck.

What you just said was actually not a part of my point. But go read it again.

[TwinWinNerD]

If this story is true, someone has to be remotely on your PC to get the passes out of KeePass. That's not possible through console. How do you type in the master password of Keepass? If you type it manually, Keylooger will be back on topic. If someone got your master password, he only has to download your .kdb-file and you're completely fucked.

I type it in manually, is there another way? If it is true that my .kdb file is compromissed, i need to change about 150 passwords and lock some online banking accounts.

Fuck my life seriously. I am off now, need to fix this mess.

i cannot remember 24h having a volume of 680btc only on dgex - even in the days before fees and massive abuse of insider traiding it was around 500 btc. The only reason for not skyrocketing today is that this time the supply of nxt was much higher

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best tools to find and remove spyware, keyloggers and all others of similar nature?

What is your point? At how much do you think NXT should be valued by now?
If you want something to reflect in the price, wait for a nice client and some applications for the offered infrastructure.
Rome wasn't build in a day and a crypto not in two month.

NXT has come a long way since it started and it is growing a lot faster than Bitcoin did in the beginning,

I bought pretty early into NXT and all I saw for a while were falling prices. Like a long while.

Luckily I held and I will continue to do so.

Avast is the best free antivirus tool that I know of - http://www.avast.com

No. Format your hard disks. If a machine was compromised there is no other way.

Can't format without being 100% sure the machine is compromised. What is the best way to be 100% certain?

[kunibopl]

Also i never type the keys always copypaste them, so would a keylogger really get these passwords?

Damn.... I guess i have to format my PC and setup a new OS. Atleast my BTC are in cold storage and still safe.

keylogger can log clipboard too

would you mind posting all 3 passwords just to prove you were the owner.

It is gaining momentum, the amount of accounts keep going up so lots more people are getting involved in NXT.

If that isn't a bullish indicator I don't know what is. We'll probably start seeing more of a rise in price with media coverage, but we really need better clients out first.
