Mr. TradeFortress, who is the administrator of inputs.io, visited the Bitcoin forumBitcoin ForumAccording to the content posted to the attacker, the attacker first resurrected the e-mail address TradeFortress used six years ago. Next, he set up a proxy server in Australia where Mr. TradeFortress resides and provided a server to inputs.ioLinodeI asked for a password reset. Naturally, because of the contact from the originally used e-mail address, since the sender was also near the address of Mr. TradeFortress, Linode thought that the contact came from him and executed a password reset. It seems that the attacker has come to grasp the system.

Happily Fortunately, Mr. TradeFortress saved coins in places other than inputs.io, so it seems that 1540 BTC could be gathered. Still, the lost coin is still about 2500 BTC short.

Following this incident, Mr. TradeFortress said "We do not recommend storing Bitcoin on a computer connected to the Internet"I tell the lesson.

Apart from the above case, there is also an incident in the online wallet service called Bitcash.cz in the Czech Republic, where the server is attacked and down, and the wallet for 4000 people is empty.
