Coinfire one of the leading Bitcoin news sites has apparently fallen prey to PayCoin hackers after its last article brought on one of the sites biggest DDOS attacks. Initially the PayCoin article provoked some backlash from PayCoin supporters and even Josh Garza.
Well, looks like the XPY supporters got what they wanted. They logged in to our domain registrar account and had our domain taken away from us.
We are working to resolve it but we aren’t sure we are going to get it back.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
As you can see from the original Reddit post, it is believed that PayCoin supporters were behind the recent Domain hijack and blog downtime. With the article calling out PayCoin as a scam being the source of trouble for the blog, many pointed fingers to retaliation efforts from the PayCoin supporters. Whilst many other blogs have also commented on the current PayCoin issue including BTCFeed itself, it seems CoinFire was one of the first sites to spread the news. This may have made the site a ideal target for hackers to send a message to the public who may be slandering the coin.
It has also come to our attention that the Twitter Page for Coinfire has also become comprimised. As seen by the final tweets made by the account including; “Take over the domain…. take over the twitter. Fuck you coin fire.”. The Coinfire network has been compromised and as seen below now that the hackers have gained control over the social branches held by the company more havok may be yet to come. Speculators have already begun spreading prophecies of further attacks on blogs and news sites that slack off the PayCoin. The Twitter page for Coinfire is currently down but a chached copy is available for viewing at Archive.today. The comment below was made on the original Reddit thread started to announce the downtime, it explored some of the possible meanings behind the final Tweets made by the hijacked account.
Twitter account is now gone – there were a bunch of tweets in there that had some details (naming people, etc.), then those got deleted before the account was closed. One of the last tweets pointed out that cf had a secure password, but that their registrar derped. Would figure, really. The best attack is still a social engineering one.
To conclude the Coinfire service has gone down but as hoped by the team the downtime should be temporary. Whilst PayCoin supporters may have resources to extend the downtime of the site and gold the domain indefinitely it is hoped the public and the Domain registrar will be able to intervene and reclaim the domain name back. BTCFeed aims to carry on its service to the community and the site is currently safe. As with any attack we at BTCFeed hope Coinfire can recover and carry on providing the essential services it has been providing.

Paycoin is a scam plain and simple, they have hacked sites in the past and they hate any negativity or any discussion of real facts about their leader Homero Josh Garza or the many companies that josh runs. The fact that today Homero has confirmed that GAW/paybase and zencloud are all individual companies they DO NOT Serve the best interests of each other should be alarming. That it very important as they are being lied to everyday.
But after paycoin supporters hacked coinfire already and posted to not attack paycoin and now its down and the only thing obvious they posted on the twitter account was the hackers lying and saying the SEC investigations are fake (oh yeah only paycoin had that threat lately eh – morons) that is a dead fucking give away. Paycoin supporters are the worst in the world, josh and his religious team with Adam (no longer a pastor now – more edited lies) from that Texan church are whipping them up into a frenzy.
Just today, Eric and Joe were asked if they are even working there anymore. Eric admitted in IRC that he left 3 weeks ago, so now Josh is posting on Erics account and up voting people. Why would someone log into their own account they left 3 weeks ago ? its all shady.
Daniel Helley has removed all ties with gaw, the ship is sinking. Their supporters/community is a cesspool of hate and adolescences.
Most of the good people have left this sinking ship, or being banned or shadow banned, only those who speak very highly almost sycophantically are allowed to post. New people are NOT welcome in hashtalk. And the funny part is, its is DESIGNED like this on purpose to distract from the obvious lies, scams and thievery. Yet the muppets defend it. IE You are a new account and ask a innocent question the hordes of idiots come in and say “oh look new account eh” “3 day accont = troll” Not to mention bitjane has also been abusive in her mod/admin role.
Address all the the facts paycoin supporters instead of deflecting all the time. As I will flat out ignore your trolling shit when you dont address the facts/red flags.
