Holy Crap the Hacker(s) stole Final Balance $ 53,043.20 Daammm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

William Thompson, the founder of ResoNova Financial Partners with an 

extensive background in cyber security and military intelligence, expressed
concerns regarding the xCoins platform security measures back in November
of this year. "While using the [xCoins] platform I noticed signs of large scale
social engineering being performed. I didn't have access to enough information
to validate my suspicions ...Users often exchange a lot of personal information
during the transaction process. This information exchange could be coupled with
various phishing attempts spread out over several months and would ultimately
provide attackers with all the information necessary to hit the platform hard. It is
imperative that all current and former users of the xCoins platform take time to
set new and unique passwords on all of their email accounts, bank accounts, bitcoin
wallets, shopping accounts, etc as the lists of extracted username/email/password
information is likely to be used again in future cyber attacks on various sites often used
by the cryptocurrency community."

William has been working with various users of the platform to assemble as much 

information on the attack as possible. The IP address used by the hacker was 208.93.27.31
which leads to an office building in Sunnyvale, California.

That's why (a test run) buying was not taking thought it was a bug or site was a scam to begin 

with...They shut services down for now...

No I had no monies deposited just wanted to see the step process...
