I wonder if these people predicting for blockchain.info are talking about their mixing service or about the wallet service. Because the wallet seems to be somewhat secure as many things are done on the client side (and it seems to be stored in a non-standard way, which can't easily be opened using "standard unix tools" as previously announced), but IDK about their mixing service... is hacking the later that profitable?

Thanks for the votes of confidence Tongue

Surely a year without any security issues counts for something?

Target of whom? You? As far as I recall, the thread is entitled "predictions for next hack".

Not much is stored in the mixer, 100's rather than 1000's.

As for the wallet service it would be very difficult for any intruder to modify the client side js unnoticed. Multisig support is not far off anyway.

A hack is great publicity around here.  Some enterprising person should come up with some thing that drives the price way up or down(on their exchange), dramatically.  Then, announce how the hacker got no bitcoins and is currently being waterboarded for his impudence.

I'm anxiously awaiting this! It will be awesome to manage project without a need to trust my partner.

The team publishes PGP signatures for the binaries. Check those after downloading and you can be safe from this threat.

I know this because Tyler knows this.

For Bitcoin to be a true global currency the value of BTC needs always to rise.

Didn't this happen already? Hacker claimed access for over 1 year, modified progs, and there was a dump to prove how deep he got.

A database leak of Blockchain's My Wallet would be bad for weak passphrases. Everybody would have to move their coins. If it go unnoticed for a very long time, even worse. Having said that, fast comunication and attention would cause less damage on this wonderful service.

Yikes...I didn't hear about that one...should be easy to diff and find any nefarious code.

Yes, I was thinking Bitcoin-related hacks. That would be a serious blow.

Good point...best to focus on Bitcoin related hacks...there are all sorts of urban hacks that would be fun, but a little off-topic.

Now pardon me while I go see if I can hook up our municipal electricity supply to our water tower...don't go pee for the next hour or two, ok?
