Sorry c-cex, but you don't seems to care about bug reports tickets.

Normally, even when you go on coinexchange.io, it's hard to find something vulnerable.
But with c-cex, it's hard to find something protected on client side. For starting, everything is vulnerable to CSRF even with 2FA enabled:

Wanna change the user's chatname of someonelse? It's possible to do it by making cliking a link which trigger a POST to http://c-cex.com/?id=profile&rett=chat_b.
Wanna write a chat message with an account you don't own?  It's possible to do it by making cliking a link which simply works through a GET request.
You hacked the e-mail account linked to a c-cex account? Just make the target user click a link and you'll receive the confirmation link. You also don't need to login to confirm the withdrawal (an other vulnerability combined).

In that case, the only thing protected against CSRF I found is posting limit orders. And even then it's still performed through GET requests.
I also found making someone losing all funds through clicking https://c-cex.com/?id=funds&dump=btc requires an origin matching c-cex.com. Though that’s still possible to hide and trigger the target through a redirect.

There is also their internal captcha systemhttps://c-cex.com/cp.html?s=385353503 which is easy to solve fully automatically through things like IBM Watson or Google Cloud vision with high sucess rates.

There are many ways to bypass users completely and steal funds directly from servers like with the recent attack (though I failed to see the vulnerabilty recently used by the attacker).

The exchange is definitely less secure than Mt.Gox. There are even known bugs used in the past elsewhere that aren't fixed on the exchange (1 task when you are in charge of security is to read the news about recent discovered attacking methods). Maybe they also run outdated third party libraries else too, but that's something to invastigate.
The only thing postive over Mt.Gox is funds are correctly managed manually outside the lack of fund audits: they can't "find" a forgotten wallet like it happened with Mt.Gox since no wallet are susceptible to be forgotten.

In some way, the bugs users are noticing with unexecuted withdrawals or disappearing deposits as well as disabled account is only the top of the iceberg.

These are indeed serious bypass that you had mentioned but it doesnt really matter at all yet this exchange do already fallen to scam anyone.Im reading once in a while
into this thread.I havent seen any response of OP on whats happening and also reading up continuous complaints about account disabled and lost funds.
Remembering C-cex glory days but they do end up like this after on that 3 months vacation alibi.

Outside this, there are also weak practices like using MD5 based session cookies and don't change it across requests.

into this thread.I havent seen any response of OP on whats happening and also reading up continuous complaints about account disabled and lost funds.

What's happenning? Do you remember how they were hacked in February 2014? Please notice how the last 9 september and the Februrary 2014 are similar (both repeated the same withdrawal several time).
Well it might not be the same guys as in 2014, but I think the hackers just found a variant of the same vulnerability in order to bypass the February 2014 protection which was put after the first attack.

Without C-cex explaining how it exactly happenned. We'll won't know.

Remembering C-cex glory days but they do end up like this after on that 3 months vacation alibi.

What glory days? Trust me, you can be sure even by 2014 security standards, that you wouldn't see GET requests on Facebook or Paypal.
You can be sure those weakness exists since the beggining and aren't the result of a code update.

@MODS:  Isn't it about time this entire thread was moved to the scam section where it belongs?  This would help stop noob users being scammed any further.

No support.
Customers accounts being closed.
Customers funds vanishing.
No withdrawals.
Missing funds.
Page after page after page of complaints.

Agree on this one too since this thread have been already abandoned maybe this would suit out to be put up on
scam accusations where there are lots of people continue to come here complaining that accounts been blocked
other after another.

Is there any possible action with this?

what happened to c-cex?
it used to be a decent place to trade despite the shadiness. now it seems to have turned into a full on scam. i tried accessing my account and it says it is not found! did they nuke their own database? luckily i had less than 0.01BTC there but it still sucks to lose that and an exchange that i used from time to time.

maybe the 6 months of vacations when no one could withdraw their funds caused c-cex to lose touch with reaaaaaaaallllllllllllllity

[cointron]

Any estimate of how much they stole? I left there 6.5 BTC and 1.5 BTC in alts.-

it sounds more like running away to me
c-cex is a business not some hobby to take a 6 months vacation from and not come back. not to mention that it was a 24/7 market which also is global. you can't just shut it down and go have fun!

ouch!

is there any legal recourse to recover it?

a year ago they took a 3 month vacation and i couldn't withdraw any coins. 90 days later they did it again, fortunately i had already withdrawn  all coins by then.

3 months on, 3 months off, rinse and repeat

I don't see how they stay in bizness

I have no idea. I've searched for information, everywhere they talk about Mt.Gox, Bitfinex, Bitgrail, but nothing about C-Cex. In addition to taking everything, they have deleted the databases, they disappeared completely. It would be interesting to know how much they took and if a lawsuit can be initiated.-
