Few days ago I was checking our ~AGORA's @coinos account and noticed some weird cashouts transactions. Dr. @midas , apparently also here in SN, was somehow able to hack into the account and withdraw whatever was available, luckily not much.
The only one to blame here is myself for my negligence on not taking adequate precautions, and allow such events to happen. luckily I check it often, It went unnoticed for a week before noticing something was wrong. Recognizing "midas" as non-familiar recipient, and not remembering doing these transactions, I immediately increased the security of the cooinos account activating PIN and 2FA from https://coinos.io/settings/security It will hopefully be enough to stop future attackers - Make sure you have both options active n your account.
Thanks @asoltys2026 for providing such great platforms. I look forward to test the non-custodial options you'll apparently release soon.
@midas... return the funds and I'll delete this post. Hopefully you'll learn reputation is more important than a few sats
I wonder how much code is written by AI crapclaws and others in all bitcoin apps.
How many breaches let open these claws.
We should start worrying where and how we are using out sats now.
Nothing is safe anymore and we are blindly using any new "vibecoded" app and give access to our sats.
One day, after using these vibecoded apps, you will notice that all your sats are gone.
Who you are going to blame?
I am starting to have doubts in bitcoin apps. Nobody really knows where this crazy shit mania using AI is going.
the only ones to blame are ourselves, not just as creators of this apps, but indeed as users. In this case, and as highlighted above, I'm the only oe to blame, I accept the risks of using such decoy service, and that's fine.
Everything has a price, we simply must choose the right option for each specific case.
Up until now I’ve never had this kind of issue with Coinos, luckily. I’ve got Nostr auth set up, but not on my 0xbitcoiner account!
I just checked and the fund is back. Guess it wasn’t a scam after all, at least not yet 😂 cc/ @DarthCoin @satgoob @gnilma @south_korea_ln @grayruby @jakoyoh629 @wilto @Catcher @moptosh @BlokchainB @Signal312 @carter
A year ago, when I saw that everybody jumped in to use coinos for almost anything, I stopped using coinos. Not even for testing crap. I knew this is going to happen, when people start abusing a nice service.
I may even made a warning post here on SN, but as usual people do not pay attention to my warnings.
I still have some throwaway sats into an account and now you made me curious.
I tried to send out some sats to many different destinations and all of them says: no route found. It means they have serious issues with liquidity or they blocked any movement out of the internal database.
So that withdrawal OP is talking about seems to be sent to another coinos user, not outside. So it would be very easy to verify by coinos team, what was going on.
In other words... another one bites the dust.
It would be great if @asoltys2026 could double check what happened there.
Yesterday I made a payment to an external account and it worked! Haven’t made any today yet.
Is time to say goodbye to coinos.
Coinos should keep it as they started: as an onboarding service for small merchants in Vancouver area. With vouched users.
Starting a couple days ago, I have personal notice withdraws failing more often than usual.
Withdraws had a high success rate before.
Try sending to another coinos user and you will see that is working fine.
So maybe they stopped intentionally the liquidity out of coinos.
confirmed, around 3K right?
Exactly 3,232 sats. Last time I checked a few months ago, that’s what I had. I noticed the transaction history is gone!
