Attacked Ethereum Classic hacker returned the money exchanges. Conscience or a PR stunt teams ETC?
Source:The story of the attack on the 51 has taken an unexpected turn. After applying the losses to the draft, the hackers allegedly returned $ 100 thousand cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io. This was announced by the representatives of the exchanger in the official of the company. Whether it was a gesture «goodwill» or for the incident lie a much more complex reason?
theDistribution of money in bitcoin
The Gate.io tried to contact the hackers, but did not get any clear answers.
It may be «white hacker», who wanted to remind the community about the vulnerability of the block chain and the importance of decentralization.
In the jargon of the developers «white hacker» referred to a specialist who use their skills in hacking computer systems for the benefit of society.
Recall, January 9 experts Gate.io has published its own analysis of the attack 51. Then they came to the conclusion that the fraudsters managed to attack 54 200 ETC, there are 271 $ 500 at today's exchange rate. A day earlier, in Coinbase announced that the total cost of the double-spending in Ethereum Classic exceeds $ 1.1 million.
At the moment, Hasrat ETC is still quite low, so the cryptocurrency is still vulnerable to 51 attack. To avoid potential losses, the exchange Gate.io has increased the number of confirmations for Ethereum Classic up to 4000. We will remind, couple of days ago, Litecoin Creator Charlie Lee , decentralised cryptocurrency by definition, must constantly be under threat of attack 51.
Cryptoexpert there is another version about the causes of the incident. Maybe the Ethereum team Classic was able to pay the money to the exchange under the guise of hackers for the sake of avoiding a possible delisting. As an example we can recall with delisting after a similar incident.
But for the pool Ethereum Classic now will be associated with huge reward for the blocks! This morning she suddenly jumped to a whopping 109 ETC.
Lucky day on Ethereum Classic PPLNS pool.
109 ETC for 1 block!
