#exitscam — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #exitscam, aggregated by home.social.

  1. the kyrgyz (pronounced "Russian") #crypto exchange #Grinex (a successor to #Garantex, the exchange beloved by #ransomware gangs all over the world) was "hacked" and ~$15 million worth of user's crypto was "stolen"¹. they're blaming the CIA or MI6 or whatever.

    (also happens to be the exchange on which the #Rusian #ruble backed #stablecoin #A7A5 was launched last year)

    ¹ it might have actually been hacked but this is crypto so you should always assume it's an #exitscam until proven otherwise.

  8. Checking AlphV's site today, they appear to be back online, but other than the API, there is no content .Their qTox status has been changed to "Everything is working."

    DataBreaches contacted the admin on qTox to ask whether the site was really working and about the previous content -- whether it would be restored or was all gone. Admin ALPHV answered:

    фдд цщкл
    all work
    files remove
    all

    I followed up: "So all of the old posts and data are gone? You are starting over? "

    Admin ALPHV replied:
    "All new only"

    So it looks like they probably did lose everything they had, which may well result in affiliates who didn't get paid jumping ship and going to other groups.

    And so far, there is still no statement from DOJ (I've just sent another request).

    It's seems highly likely that this was law enforcement-related, but belief is not proof.

    In other ransomware drama, some folks on a Russian forum have accused NoEscape of pulling an exit scam and cheating them of money. One noted they had also removed their forum deposit. NoEscape's status on the forum has been changed by the moderator.
