RE: Bitcoin Cash Reddit Tip App Users Hacked for Thousands
Am I missing something? How was the BCH stolen? Were people's private keys leaked? Were they tricked into sending BCH to the wrong address?

I was under the impression that there was a security hole in the password-reset functionality on Reddit, which allowed hackers to reset passwords of accounts without access to the email address.
The thing I can tell you is that the BCH wasn't stolen, the funds inside the tippr account was hacked (and not the central wallet), a bot was written to scan posts containing information about who got tipped - the users picked up by the bot had their funds stolen.
I think you are right @bithereum
No Idea @emonda
@raj2017 be careful
Also how the Hackers do kind of hacking, This news is disturbing
