barbaris Posted January 26, 2018 #1 Posted January 26, 2018 Hackers succeeded another successful attack on holders of crypto-currency wallets. This time the attack was carried out by the clients of the IOTA community who used online IOTA generators to secure their own wallets, designed to create special siders providing additional security of access to the site. wallets iota hacked In total, the cybercriminals managed to steal about 4 million dollars in various digital currencies. It is noted that for the generation of secret phrases of 81 characters, the IOTA project does not provide for a specific tool, but only offers several options for action, and users are free to choose between any similar resources, including iotaseed.io. The widespread message indicates that hackers were able to access the seeds, so it was no longer difficult for them to crack the user's wallets. In fact, the users themselves provided the abusers with tools for the abduction of funds. Currently, IOTA is working to resolve the security problem, to exclude the possibility of a repetition of similar DDoS attacks in the future, which can lead to hacking the system. At the same time, responsibility for hacking in the community was laid on the shortcomings of the work of generator sites. It seems that this year hackers intend to steal more than in 2017. Who is fighting cyber crime? It seems that no one is investigating these crimes at all.

skillex Posted January 27, 2018 #3 Posted January 27, 2018 For real? ouch!, that must have been so embarrasing for the side of IOTA to get hacked really. I feel sorry for them. I think this will give big impact to IOTA for their holders wont have anymore ease in security for them.
