2017 in Review: Blockchain & Crypto Hacks & Scams & Attacks
« on: December 30, 2017, 01:14:22 PM »

1. CoinDash ICO Hack
A hacker changed the address, causing donations worth $10 million to go to an unknown party.

2. Parity Wallet Bug
A bug was found in its multi-signature wallets, compromising several companies’ ICO fundraisers. Resulting in at least 150,000 ethers being stolen from user accounts. At the time, the ethers were worth roughly $30 million, but they're worth closer to $105 million as of mid-December.

3. Enigma Project Scam
Blockchain startup Enigma saw its website, mailing lists and an administrator account on its Slack channel compromised when fraudsters launched a fake token pre-sale in August, defrauding potential investors of more than 1,500 ethers.

4. Parity Wallet Freeze
A Parity user accidentally found a bug in the software code, freezing more than $275 million in ether.

5. Tether Token Hack
Tether claimed that roughly $31 million’ worth of tokens were taken from their virtual treasury and sent to an unknown bitcoin address.

6. Bitcoin Gold Scam
Shortly after the launch of a bitcoin fork called bitcoin gold, some bitcoin users had their cryptocurrency wallets drained after using a service seemingly endorsed by the project's #DevelopmentTeam , marketed as a way to authenticate whether a user was eligible for bitcoin gold funds, the website’s operators instead stole more than $3 million in bitcoin, bitcoin gold, ethereum and litecoin.

7. NiceHash Hack
NiceHash reported being hacked early in December, later confirming that about 4,700 in bitcoin was stolen. At the time, that was worth approximately $78 million.

8. EtherDelta DNS hijack
Late in December, an attack on Etherdelta DNS allowed hackers to redirect users into a fake website, which led to the theft of an unknown amount of Ethereum and ERC20 tokens.

a hacker does have many ways to break through the current security system (ftp://security system)

Holy crypto. I just withdrew my tokens from etherdelta right before that happened (which I was trying to do for several weeks). I guess I actually do have some luck for a change.

In my personal opinion, hacking is everywhere. We can't prevent it if we don't stay alert. We need to know how to become safe. and for safety always need to use useful tools and techniques.

Scammers everywhere, how to protect them? A good question I think, from whom what opinion?

Being a part of the Cryptohound team, I can recommend you to check also our solution, which lies on the intersection between blockchain explorers and B2B digital forensics tools. At the moment, the solution provides more data insights than an average wallet explorer, and it's free and accessible to everyone, unlike professional forensics tools. We have also incorporated widgets to our tool so that the information can be presented in the visual, easy-to-understand form.  We also looking for new ideas and suggestion on how to improve the tool and what extra widgets to add. Any feedback is appreciated.

I can't remember if I have some tokens on Etherdelta as the only exchange I have now is Binance.
Sadly, we can't really avoid hacking as those evil ones will do everything they can to penetrate any security system just to get money. The only thing we can do for now is to strengthen the security so they can't easily access the system.

BEEX Exchange

 It's been six months since I traded with this exchange, no problem. It has a high trading volume, especially in bitcoin. And buy your own currency called the bee because it is currently very low and is about three cents but it will soon be worth ten dollars and you will only buy thousands of dollars of bee currency in a few months to sell hundreds of dollars.

Kind of a long retrospective, maybe we can predict smth by analyzing those situations.
But yep, so many things happened since then.
