The Final Destination For Tokens going into the 50 Active Ethereum Accounts I gained access to the Private Keys
Yeah, So last week I found a minor glitch in the crypto world that exposed countless users private keys.
No, It's not a glitch in Ethereum...
It's actually a mistake the account holder made by posting their private key using public information.
Once I found the 1st private key, I searched the internet using the same method, and to my surprise produced over 50 active ethereum private keys - Some with balances!
Today I decided to check on these accounts to see the activity
Unfortunately, I now believe I am not the only one with the Private keys
The last few days has been loaded with ERC20 token distributions and it turns out a lot of these accounts received bounty tokens
But, Within a couple hours of these accounts receiving the bounty, the tokens were transferred away into this account - which has dipped his hands into nearly every Ethereum Account I found. Take a peak...

Although I feel bad for those users who got robbed, it falls completely on their shoulders for being ignorant and careless with there Private Keys...
For one of the more important account I found that contained coins
~ 0.5 Eth
I signed a message saying I had access to their account and they should move the tokens and make a new account...
Well, that account got nailed and drained :(
I can't be more blunt when I say
Do Not
Be Careless
With Your
Private Keys!
If you put your private key on the internet 1 time, consider your account compromised and most likely someone has access just waiting for you to have value they can take!

Wow. I am not aware of that. Great info.
Damn, sucks to hear how more private keys are being found online.
I wish people could take my care in the security of their keys.
Thank you for spreading the word
Oh, I'm hearing about users on BitcoinTalk saying they were "hacked" or got "Robbed"
It's sad, but a good lesson for those who lost coins
100% on the money!!
I dont quit e understand how they posted their private keys, like how? i am still new to this thing
They did fairly easily
I wont go into detail unless you actually got your account hijacked.
In which case, send me a pm on bitcointalk and i will show where how you most likely did
