theAnother theft of cryptocurrency
Both boys are residents of Missouri, where they were detained Monday — Childers and Harris were hiding in a local hotel. At trial, they were accused of fraudulent activities associated with the substitution of SIM-cards. The incident occurred on 22 September when the price CMCT has fallen several times amid unusually high trading volumes.
Capitalization althena fell to a million dollars in circulation was about 500 million tokens. To hack attack 1.5 billion coins held by the creators of the project. The Childers and Harris managed to seize a billion tokens from the pool of developers.
They did it by well-known scheme. Pretending to be the owners mobile phone number of one of the programmers, the fraudsters had notified the mobile operator about the loss of the SIM card. After linking the number to a new SIM card hackers were able to bypass two-factor authentication, which protected the purse with coins.
The Stolen tokens were immediately sold, so the price Aldona collapsed in the blink of an eye. At the moment the auction CMCT suspended. It is unknown, will return if ever the price of the tokens to their initial values.
The project Developers have already made an official statement.
We strongly recommend not to buy CMCT to the moment when criminal investigation will not be completed. We expect the resumption of trading on major exchanges. Buying a stolen token will be rewarded.
After a few days of Childers and Harris was arrested, which is quite unusual. The investigation the police took only two days. Most likely, the crooks didn't think about anonymity when he called the operator. While this is the first criminal case in the crypt, opened in a few days after the crime.
