CoinDash’s ICO Website Has Been Hacked

lol

So it was their website that got hacked, not their cryptocurrency widget (or whatever the appropriate term is)?

I mean, not unexpected: hit the softest part of the chain, which in this case seems to be a webserver rather than the crypto/contract. Just trying to make sure my understanding is correct.

This seems to be the same problem that many open-source projects have, where the md5 hash to verify your download is at a single, (often the same) location.

One possible solution would be to use Twitter pinned tweet to also announce the address, however it's questionable how many people would actually cross check.

Where does the amount in the title ("45k ether") come from? I didn't see that in the article.

EDIT: Apparently from https://etherscan.io/address/0x6a164122d5cf7c840D26e829b46dC... , which is something I don't have the depth of knowledge to assess for myself.

Running a P2P-ICO over a centralised server. Good job coindash. That's exactly what you deserved.
