Hacker TheDAO cashes stolen!
According to the analysis blockchain conducted by Bok Consulting, an amount of 106100 ETC it was distributed in different locations portions of ETC in 2333, after which the funds were sent to Shapeshift exchange to exchange. At the time of publication Shapeshift representatives were unavailable for comment.
Shapeshift distinctive feature is that this exchange, registered in Panama, does not require identification of the exchange: all that is needed for the transaction - a deposit and the direction of the exchange, no personal information is requested. However, it remains unclear whether there is a possibility of further tracking transaction chain. With reasonable certainty we can say that the attacker brought about 100 000 dollars.
Approximately 3.5 million ETC (about 3.15 million dollars) remained the main address of the attacker. If the first operation will be successful, and it may be a test, the hacker can continue to withdraw funds that will have a significant pressure on the quotes ETC, which already fell by 7% only on 29 October.
PARALLEL UNIVERSE ETC
At that time, as a community Ethereum took a collective decision in favor hardforka designed to prevent embezzlement TheDAO, some, mostly anonymous users, decided to give life to an abandoned chain, thus leaving the hacker of the loot. In the beginning, ETC quickly acquired a speculative value; considerable public support in this he had Zilbert Barry (Barry Silbert), the owner of the news portal Coindesk and managing Bitcoin Investment Trust, and a major miner Guo Chandler
However, after an almost unanimous show of support for the Foundation Ethereum developers Dapps, ETC rate began to fall in relation to the ETH, to the extent that, as traders rushed to the exit. On October 30 quotations fluctuate around the level of $ 0.9, compared with 11.3 dollars for 1 ETH.
Intrigue more aggravated when a hacker posted some amount of ETC developers Classic, which represent an anonymous community, except Elaine and Charles Hoskinson, who joined later. In turn, the already mentioned Bok Consulting revealed some indirect ties between addresses hacker, robs TheDAO and addresses, from which were DDOS attacks on the Ethereum and traced the history of the hacker, who briefly worked ETH mining in large pools. Market opened Shapeshift addresses to which an attacker withdrawal. Mayningovye pools retain IP addresses, perhaps their disclosure will reveal the identity of the attacker.
However, it is not clear what to do with this information on: history TheDAO officially there are no victims - investors got their money back, many have received additional profit from free inherited ETC, and the police no one spoke.
