The Bitcoin Gold project reported about the hacker attack to the repository on the Github portal. According to a project team, malefactors replaced the installation file for Windows purse with "two suspicious files of unknown origin" "about 4,5 days ago".

The code of a purse has been replaced during the period since November 21 09.39 on November 25 of 22.30 UTC.

If you didn't download the adjusting Windows purse file during this period, you can ignore this prevention" — the Bitcoin Gold team in the letter of mailing has written.

All who have loaded the Windows Wallet file into the period since November 21 09.39 on November 25 of 22.30 UTC shouldn't use this file at all. If the file has been started, then the computer on which it has been started has to be checked with extra care; the file has to be removed, the computer has to be carefully checked for existence of malicious applications and a virus (or it is completely removed), and any cryptocurrencies on the purses available on this computer, have to be immediately moved to new addresses of purses" — it is emphasized in the message.

It is known that harmful the software is not found anti-virus programs. For what purpose the installer of a purse was replaced, it is unknown, but the Bitcoin Gold command assumes that malefactors placed a code which after installation on the user computers could abduct information on the user and his accounts and steal cryptocurrencies.

Now in Bitcoin Gold repository on Bithub the operational software is placed.

We will remind that last week scandal over a roguish purse of MyBTGWallet which the Bitcoin Gold command recommended for use burst. During creation of addresses for new cryptocurrency of Bitcoin Gold service demanded from users to specify the private key or a seed-key from third-party purses. After these funds of users in other cryptocurrencies were transferred to other addresses. By different estimates, cryptocurrencies on the amount from $2 to $3,3 million were stolen. Users accused the Bitcoin Gold command of the irresponsible recommendation of roguish service, but the project separated from scandal, having said that it does not bear responsibility for third-party services.

Users perceived information on new problems of the Bitcoin Gold project in bayonets. Comments to the publication on official twitter about cracking of a repository did not stint sarcasm:

As of November 27 of Bitcoin Gold about $368 are trading, and his capitalization has reached $6,1 billion.
