Kitco was hacked

CaptHenwayCaptHenway Posts: 33,877 ✭✭✭✭✭

I tried to go to KITCO earlier today to check an exchange rate and there was a notice that they had been hacked and were currently offline. If and when they appear to be up and running, if you are making any type of large metals transaction you might wish to double check any price before committing.

    Maybe the hackers are pro PM, will send spot through the roof and cause COMEX to be totally confused.

    Perhaps the Bulgarians are attempting other ways to artificially inflate the price of the gutter since their media propaganda didn't work? THKS!

    Some say the Global Cyber attack that will happen by the end of 2025 will make the Covid lockdowns look like Kindergarten, but what do I know??

    kitco's landing page had quotes up while the "real" site was down.

    i see that the main site is back, but clicking the "Buy/Sell" link on the top-center takes you to a page of what it looked like while the whole site was down.

    it is interesting there have been 3 big names that have suffered breaches between the op and now

    Price discovery is a beautiful thing. $1800 gold & $18 silver. Go with the blitzdude, when all else fails.

    I thought you were referring specifically to precious metals dealers/companies. Your comment makes more sense to me now.
