It said to be a bug/glitch.

CoinMarketCap Says Data Glitch Boosted Its Crypto Price Numbers

Coinmarketcap bug escalates prices, causes frenzy among crypto traders

It boosted the price but it's back to as usual.

Not hacked just bugged is my guess, it has happened a few times before.
Yes it did happened before but I can't remember the exact date on when it also showed a bug.

Coinmarketcap only shows information about the market but it doesn't have money/crypto inside.

I noticed Coingecko went nuts too. It started moving coins up and down. Bcash went to number 13 on their list despite the actual numbers remaining static. Maybe they all have the same back end.

Do not worry. CoinMarketCap was not hacked. Perhaps with the latest updates on the site there were some small errors that have now been fixed.

It was a software glitch during an update. They are changing the turnover algorithm since many exchanges are reporting inflated turnover.

I just saw some crazy numbers on coinmarketcap..
like $8500 btc, -90% vechain, +20% eth..

I wad also surprised a sudden increased in bitcoin, ethrium and other alt coins I thought there was a quick huge pump as markep cap increase quickly and bitcoin price increase almost 1 thousand u.s. dollar.

yes same here but most other coincaps websites shown the same alos on many exchanges was these higher prizes in short time.
We will see what comes next Wink

Probably!

I had missed out to see those numbers changed on CMC but this is not literally an incident which is connected to any hacks. This is just a glitch or error if CMC do made an update to their system.
For now i havent seen any differences when it comes to price. Why would people react too much?  Cheesy

OOps! you have seen wrong maybe. There is no $8500 thing done in recent times, it is still $7468 in BTC price. and also there have been no 20% increase in ETH rather than 1.99%. It's totally a fake news to manipulate users. Stay cool.

I think it’s a rumor. Hackers try to hack some site and they are being dropped in usage by countless dealer and  speculator.

LOL that is because their server slow in update or they use the static website on updating the price value.

These are the possibilities to see this kind of problem.

So far even I love to use this site to check the price value any altcoin or token price. To get listed in the site itself many projects are all the time looking for it. So it will be in usage.

No it wasn’t hacked due to technical problem they turn off their system and that news was rumor based on this website. I hope nothing will happen and there is nothing to worry about this matter.

Not much for you to be alerted on that way. This is just a simple problem with index which can really give out those crazy numbers but not totally or we can conclude that its being hacked
and besides Coinmarketcap do give out a notice on about such issues and besides even if its hacked changing prices wont really be have a big effect yet this is just a preference site though.
For now anything works fine and i do still use up this site for checking out prices.

There has to be some technical difficulties from there end which caused such distortion in price index but seems like it is back to normal now. Nonetheless, incidents like this are not accepted from a reputed platform like Coinmarketcap. Hopefully, they will be more careful in the future.
