    "About a year and a half ago, we were alerted in the early AM of a reduction in our safe/cold wallet balances of Bitcoin and Litecoin, as well as a couple other smaller cryptocurrencies. After a period of time of investigation it was found that the developer of Lucky7Coin had placed an IRC backdoor into the code of wallet, which allowed it to act as a sort of a Trojan, or command and control unit."

    LOL love that 'reduction in wallet' line....


    For the best thread ever look at this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.6520;topicseen from 300 odd onwards
    Doxxed hard, pretty much everyone associated with cryptsy has just had their whole (and families) life thrown up all over this thread,
    Right down to addresses and pub's they go to.
    They will be pinched for it.

    Dont turtle with the crypto community lol

    I got all my coins out via small Alts when it became apparebt none of the bigger coin withdraws were coming out

    After the media suggested CEO - Paul Vernon may have stolen the coins himself for a Divorce settlement after other losses on Cryptsy led to the departure of the other admins

    Now the story continues with a contract to a third party for recovery of the coins based on a reward
