Bitcoin sites leaked :( - Big bitcoin members emails database

[Brewins]

Soooo is it a legit hack, or someone trying to spread virus using a false hack cleam?

I don't open archives like that. In fact I don't even visited the addres cause the pastebin site is a bitch and keeps giving me unsolvable captchas.

Screw passwords, why can't we use our keys to log in yet?

As of now it seems that this is just scam in the case of bitcoin.de. This is not the first attempt of this kind. The person trying to make money out of this wasn't able to provide any proof that this data is indeed what he claims it is.

This is good to know, it would be good to hear from the other sites, though I suspect this is a hoax/scam.  As others have noted freebitco.in has a lot of users, but I'm not sure what the value of the passwords would be since they are tied to btc addresses not anything useful.

Well, you can change receiving address but then user would get email about that. Only way it could work is if rhat mail went to spam folder. Also problem is that users have same passwords for many sites, so somebody could hack much more things then just freebitco.in account.

The bitcoin stored on sites like freebitco.in are likely little to none and it would likely not even be worth it to attempt to steal funds from these accounts. There may be a very small number of accounts that have something "writing home about" but the overall take would be very little.

My email address has been available for years via MtGox, lol.

re: changing PW, I haven't changed some passwords in years... but then I use different password for every location

aha,

I've just remembered that there could be some advertising accounts on the site which have solid amount of money. But I also doubt that its database is worth 3 BTC.

Someone can confirm that the info of qoinpro.com is real?
This is very bad news if true

[Stery]

Thats really bad news.

Dont you think the passwords can be cracked

Yes, a lot of MD5 hashes are found.  The idea of MD5 is like a formula, it's easy calculate the output, but hard to calculate the input from the output. But.. people have created entire bi-directional databases of MD5 hashes, pairs of (password, hash) so its' easy to look up. These are known as rainbow tables and some are larger than 15 billion entries. If you have a totally unique and long password, you may be safe from it, but it's better to assume you are not.

Well, I don't know, but databases which are exposed for free are real so there is no reason not to believe them. It is quite possible that somebody already bought one database. You will be sure if you change your password and don't use that particular password on any other account.

[bornil267645]

That's an interesting update.

[Sheldor333]

It will happen, best way to protect yourself don't put all your BTC in one place and change your password regularly. No other way to do it. Be smart about it.

[DurbanPoison]

It's one of the basic rule for all the newcomers out there, "CHANGE THE PASSWORD REGULARLY"

& never use the same password on different sites!

3 BTC is only ~$1,500 with BTC trading at $500/BTC. I don't think that advertisers would likely have massive amounts of BTC on that site (or on any site). Another important note is that the site is likely not able to generate even market rates for ads as it likely generates very low quality traffic and much of the traffic is likely from repeat visitors.

[BigNewsCrews]

uhh most of these sites are sites where people have no bitcoin anyways, why would anyone want to hack them? for .0000000001?

steal from the rich not the poor

I agree with you that there is almost nothing worth hacking on freebitco.in account but I was just trying to find at least some reason why would those accounts be valuable

Sounds like a bad plan for a scams who want to get some profits.

[Thekool1s]
