Last edit: October 20, 2011, 07:15:00 PM by simplecoin #1 UPDATE:

Site online, BTC/NMC pools are active. GG & TBX pools will return once I can match all the txids from the previous wallets.



While there was no evidence of foul play. I was still uncomfortable flipping the server back online. So, I started from scratch making it more secure along the way.

There was no loss of funds and all balances remain.



All accounts were locked just in case there was a data breach, use the password recovery to unlock your account. If you have any troubles doing so, please msg me here or in #simplecoin on freenode.



Thanks,

I regret to inform everyone there was a likely breach at simplecoin.us.



What is known so far:

The main pool server home directory was wiped clean, including wallet backups. The pool username also had the password changed.

The live pool wallets were thankfully not in the home directory and were recovered.



What has been done:

The balances of the wallets are being transferred. There are no apparent losses so far.

The servers have been physically shut down to prevent any other data loss.



What this means to you:

It is possible your user data is compromised. While PINs & Passwords were encrypted, please change any passwords that you used here.





I am working hard to minimize the damage from this likely intrusion, I will post updates as more information is known. Donations: 1VjGJHPtLodwCFBDWsHJMdEhqRcRKdBQk

I'd like to hope this is a false alarm and just a mounted drive issue. However, I'm still going to thoroughly audit everything before turning the site back on. Donations: 1VjGJHPtLodwCFBDWsHJMdEhqRcRKdBQk

So, I'm wiping the servers and restoring everything freshly.



That may add another day of downtime, but I want to be sure this issue is resolved once and for all. Donations: 1VjGJHPtLodwCFBDWsHJMdEhqRcRKdBQk
