Chiuso Silk Road e bitcointalk.org attaccato e attualmente down

Nelle ultime ore abbiamo assistito a 2 eventi molto importanti per la loro enorme portata:
-Silk Road è stato chiuso dell'FBI e arrestato Ross William Ulbricht, conosciuto anche come "Dread pirate Roberts".
-Bitcointalk.org  (il forum "ufficiale" ed enorme risorsa per chiunque segua l'evolversi dei bitcoin) è sotto attacco hacker e offline da parecchie ore. Pare che abbiano anche rubato i dati di 150.000 account (per precauzione cambiate password se ne avevate di uguali a quella del sito).

Tutto questo si sta ripercuotendo sulla stabilità delle criptomonete, precipitate al momento della conferma della chiusura di SilkRoad e ora in un rimbalzo più o meno stabile.

Questo il comunicato di bitcointalk.org:

Unfortunately, it was recently discovered that the Bitcoin Forum's server
was compromised. It is currently believed that the attacker(s) *could* have
accessed the database, but at this time it is unknown whether they actually did
so. If they accessed the database, they would have had access to all
personal messages, emails, and password hashes. To be safe, it is
recommended that all Bitcoin Forum users consider any password used
on the Bitcoin Forum in 2013 to be insecure: if you used this
password on a different site, change it. When the Bitcoin Forum
returns, change your password.

Passwords on the Bitcoin Forum are hashed with 7500 rounds of
sha256crypt. This is very strong. It may take years for
reasonably-strong passwords to be cracked. Even so, it is best to
assume that the attacker will be able to crack your passwords.

The Bitcoin Forum will return within the next several days after a
full investigation has been conducted and we are sure that this
problem cannot recur.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
