Cryptocurrency App Mocks Competitor For Getting Hacked. Gets Hacked 4 Days Later (zdnet.com)
An anonymous reader writes: A hacker going online by the pseudonym of "aabbccddeefg" has exploited a vulnerability to steal over 44,400 EOS coins ($220,000) from a blockchain-based betting app. The hack targeted a blockchain app that lets users bet with EOS coins in a classic dice game.
The entire incident is quite hilarious because four days before it happened, the company behind the app was boasting on Twitter that every other dice betting game had been hacked and lost funds. "DEOS Games, a clone and competitor of our dice game, has suffered a severe hack today that drained their bankroll," the company said in a now deleted tweet. "As of now every single dice game and clone site has been hacked. We have the biggest bankroll, the best developers, and a superior UI. Play on."
While the hack is somewhat the definition of karma police, it is also quite funny because the hacker himself didn't really care about hiding his tracks or laundering the stolen funds. "So this guy hacks EOSBET and what does he do? Play space invaders. I'm not even kidding...," a user analyzing the hacker's account said.

Your premise that hostfiles are a good way to deal with advertising and malvertising is quite valid - by JazzLad April 20, 2016

Ha, yeah, boy that's funny. Lax security or not, gambling aside, it's the height of hilarity to see someone suffer misfortune. Sarcasm aside, what a sad statement about people's attitude in modern times. A real knee-slapper.

As soon as I see "hacker" I stop reading, because what's coming is guaranteed to be illiterate drivel.
I'm not into drama but if I was I'd expect it to be somewhere above the level of four year olds, and this is not.

To be fair though, everyone who is heavily into investing in (*cough* gambling with *cough*) cryptocurrency deserves to get mocked.
Don't ever be too cocky and have a big mouth about your own security... you'd never have enough protection. Every system can get hacked and mocking a victim is just stupid.
Wut? Blockchain-based dice betting app ?
For as long as I read things about computing, I read stories to Dice games. What's the point ? People are so much bored ?
