Why not just type "see sig"?

[EddyTheDog]

It will be funny if it goes to court - 'He stole 40 million, sorry 42 million, now 37 million wait a minute it's 40 million again'...

[JerseyPuma]

this is a simple address replacement trojan - not "hacking bitcoin". and its probably not even true that he stole all that.

Somebody play with the stock market?

[Bladewire]

Yeah someone smart enough to "hack" $40 million Bitcoin is going to brag about it right away

He's so smart, he cant help himself

[lezinterracial]

He also told investigators ?he had been hired by numerous foreign governments to develop penetration software.?

The hacker told investigators he wasn?t able to cash out his bitcoin without drawing attention to himself; he also said he was planning on hiring a private jet to take him to England right before his arrest.

Sounds like this guy is having fun with the cops. Probably saw them get excited after seeing TOR on his computer and wanted see how far he could take it.

Dating girl and stealing her family members stuff and credit card, classic con artist.

Maybe he's trying to get the price to drop so he can buy in.

Hackers steal $5 million from major bitcoin exchange | Fortune.com

Hackers steal $5 million from major bitcoin exchange
Jan 05, 2015
Hackers have stolen more than $5 million in virtual currency from Bitstamp, a major bitcoin exchange, forcing the company to freeze user accounts, suspend trades and block deposits.
The Slovenia-based company said Monday that fraudsters made off with 19,000 bitcoins a day prior. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the theft or how it happened.



https://www.technologyreview.com/s/5...n-in-bitcoins/


On February 10, 2014, a Bitcoin exchange called MtGox announced it had lost some 850,000 bitcoins, of which 750,000 belonged to its customers. At the time, bitcoins were trading at $827 apiece, making the value of the loss equivalent to $620 million.


That?s a significant shortfall by anyone?s standards. But MtGox had an explanation. In a press release on that day, it announced it had been the victim of a fraud in which the bitcoins had been stolen by hackers.

The fraud, said the company, was a result of a problem known as a transaction malleability bug. This allows malicious users to transfer bitcoins into their accounts while making MtGox think the transfer had failed. Consequently, MtGox repeated these transactions so that the total amount was transferred twice.

nobody "hacked bitcoin", and if you think so then you should probably stay out of this topic, and this thread

Did I say "hacked bitcoin"? I said it "WILL eventually happen". Perhaps if you took the time to educate yourself instead of being a forum troll, you will understand what i meant when i stated "it WILL eventually happen" because if major bitcoin exchanges with heavy security can get hacked, its a matter of time when hackers find ways to hack it

[adultchatpay]

I thought this will happen anytime soon.

[Caldo]

to bad ...

[NewNick]

Bitcoin does not need to be "hacked" for you to lose your money.

[JerseyPuma]

there is a big difference between "bitcoin being hacked" and "some idiot keeps all his bitcoin on an exchange that gets hacked and loses it all". or "some idiot keeps all his bitcoin in a wallet that touches the internet, gets hacked (or has malware) and loses it all". or "some greedy idiot sends all his bitcoin to an ICO address that was from a hacked ICO website and loses it all because he thinks it will 10X in a week".

seems there a few "some idiots" in this thread.

its too hard for OP to understand that

[seeandsee]

sell sell sell

later sell at high

[jscott]

making predictions as if you know what ur talking about
"it will happen" is the most vague bs ever

in terms of this thread ("btc being hacked" is actually the OP topic), in terms of anything at all u must be goddam retarded

your name gives simple explaination though, a smart person doesnt need to say he is smart lol

[ruff]

Keep your BTC under your mattress like me and you will never get hacked. Word.

[MrMaxwell]

Damned TSA strikes AGAIN

Did I make any predictions? Is english your second language or are you just plain stupid? No wonder guys on the board call you out as a forum troll on more than one occasion. If you think storing Bitcoin in your wallet is the safest thing on the planet, man you are naive or stupid, maybe both. You are storing something virtual "digital" in a wallet which is basically a software. Any number of factors can compromise the security of it, as someone above stated, malware or trojan is the most likely scenario. Ever of heard of keystroke copying? Even your super duper long weird bitcoin password can be compromised if you typed it and a keystroke trojan is recording your keystrokes when you type in your password. Take it one step further, if your wallet software Bither or whatever you are using is hacked from software side, you are even more vulnerable.

Keep thinking that Bitcoin in your wallet is safe and unhackable, you are plain dumb. Anything digital can be hacked. The NSA, FBI, have all been hacked and they run a far more sophisticated protection than your measly bitcoin wallet does.

I read many years ago that people were working on screen field collectors and keystroke audio deciphering things - not that anyone uses keyboards these days. Except me.
Who KNOWS what's out there, by now
The password seems like the weak link- that makes a lot of sense
Just be careful too of TSA

you just are not familiar with best practices for banking your own cryptocurrency. google "bitcoin watching only wallet" and "bitcoin paper wallet" if you want to know things.

I am aware of the bitcoin watching only wallet. I have been using it myself. Bitcoin paper wallets are riskier from an online PC. Malware or Trojans on the PC may be able to steal your paper wallet keys. Even if you generate paper wallets securely, they are still vulnerable to loss and theft.

[NatalieK]

so has anyone here lost money?

[blackmonsters]

You can tell who owns bitcoin by how insecure they are in this thread; which is nothing more
than an echo of an "internet news story".
