I have a feeling another 2+ million in BTC is going to be stolen.
Thoughts?

Bitcoin price crashed after Silkroad stolen coin and FBI but after this problem bitcoin price achieved all time high Smiley Another silk road crash means another opportunity for ATH.

Same thing I was thinking. I have watched both SR crashes effect BTC price.

Except that the market hardly meets people expectations.

I would guess that it is the government attempting to determine the location of the SR servers in ways similar to how SR1's servers were found. They likely wanted to do this before SR2 would have time to implement "fixes" to avoid the same vulnerabilities as the FBI's methods were revealed recently.

From what I have read they are being DDoS'ed which is likely something similar to what the FBI did to Sr1.

Yep! They say its a ddos attack but until we see the site back up with all coins intact... Starting to get old.

It's all just a part of a bigger conspiracy in my opinion.

"Community,

We are facing a very sophisticated DDoS attack, the most advance methods we have faced yet.

The dev team is working around the clock to get marketplace service restored, as well as watch the security of our systems closely.

Much of the downtime you have seen is intentional on our part: if this is an attempt to locate our servers through packet analysis, we do not want to make it easy for our adversary and would rather be offline while we adapt our defenses.

We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience as we rush to remedy the situation.

Defcon"

They actually removed the CAPTCHA months ago.

Posted just now!!!   Cheesy

"Community,

While we continue testing different approaches to blocking the inbound DDoS, we are also processing withdrawals which were delayed by the traffic flood.

We understand how important cashflow is and are prioritizing transmitting all delayed withdrawals to the network over the next four hours.

Please confirm here when you receive your withdrawal.

To our adversaries: You cannot stop us. We will overcome every attack.

Defcon"

They have some kind of Captcha today, at least on their forums. I would not discount the governments ability to make some kind of connection to the forum servers and the actual website servers that have the actual market place.

People need to grow up and take better care of their coins.  If you know there will be attacks why leave coins there.  It's just going to undermine Bitcoin and you lose money on top of it so why do it.  I hope your wrong and I'm over reacting because I'm ready for some good news not another circus for the media and trolls to have a beargasm with.

Is it really possible to steal coins from SR 2.0? They had removed the escrow system many months ago, and replaced it with the multi-sig wallet system. If SR 2.0 does not hold Bitcoins of its users anymore, how it is possible to steal the coins from that site?

Anyway, if a robbery did actually happened, then I am sure that the admins will refund the lost coins. They had already did that during the last robbery.

Why do you think they will be stolen? Any vulnerability that can be used for such purpose, like the maleability stuff?

You say you have the feeling, but gave no evidence of how it might happens?

They havent implemented multi sig yet, it's in beta for a small number of users.

Also, the original "hack" wasn't a hack.

Defcon et al, realised they were playing a very dangerous game, and that the money they were making wasn't worth it. So they came up with a figure - say $3 million that they wanted for their own risk. They stole it themselves, blaming transaction malleability with some lame ass excuse about how they were moving all the money into the hot wallet just as the hacker struck (lol)

Once they had their little nest eggs stashed away so they had money to disappear if the FBI came calling or they felt under threat they returned with their "sweaty and humbled" speech about how they would repay everyone, then they repay everyone with a percentage of the fees they're collecting from users. (they're probably still skimming, I bet 100% of fees are not repaying people)

It makes sense, if I was them I'd do the exact same thing, rather than earn $10,000 a week or whatever knowing at any time the FBI could bust you and you'd have risked everything for a measly sum, start by stealing a good amount so you're safe then let the users repay that...
