Tell HN: Crypto coin exchange Coinex.pw most likely hacked, check your coins

Well, it's looking like another crypto coin exchange has been hacked again. Coinex.pw might not be anywhere near the scale of Mt Gox, but they had some serious volume for Bitcoin and other crypto currencies like Litecoin, Dogecoin, Infinitecoin, etc.

There is no official word yet other than their Twitter stating security issues. I can confirm via at least 4 separate people that their BTC have been split and sent to different wallets tracking it through the blockchain. This is their vague Tweet: https://twitter.com/CoinexPW/status/445302786927104000

Whether or not the supposed attack is limited to just Bitcoin remains to be seen. I am trying to get more information.

Erundook has deleted his Github account: https://github.com/erundook and also deleted his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/erundook

His NPM profile is still up however with his full name, email address, etc: https://www.npmjs.org/~erundook

I am no private investigator or law enforcement officer, but it is looking like Erundook or should I say Vitaly A. Sorokin is trying to erase himself from the Internet here...
