Bitconnect hacked - Infinite withdrawals

in #bitconnect7 years ago (edited)

()

Bitconnect.co seemed to have had some bugs in their website yesterday where one could withdraw funds infinitely from the website into external wallets. The site has suspended logins and registration currently and is scheduled to be back on 27th August 3 pm GMT. Users who took advantage of the exploit are asked to return the funds and they will have negative balances in their account. The bitconnect website was running very slow for a couple of days which may have been due to a DDos attack. Yesterday the price of Bitconnect coins crashed on many exchanges as people were withdrawal BCC coins infinitely from the website and selling it on the exchanges. It is not clear whether the bug was an error from the developers of bitconnect or a work of hackers.

Hope things get back to normal soon.
