I had to end today’s live stream abruptly because I am being hacked.I failed to write a blog post for 2 years. On his Telegram channel, Balina posted this: “Hey Crypto Family, I need you now more than ever. Or, it might also be a result of his popularity on the internet given that he has over 116,000 YouTube followers, which definitely makes him a key target.īut it is also a fact that Balina’s net worth is down $2 million in cryptocurrency just because he relied on Evernote and his digital coins are also being washed out from KuCoin, Binance, and other exchanges. Viewers are of the opinion that this could very well be a planned attack just to evade paying taxes or could be the result of storing private keys in a Box account with an Excel file, which is totally unwise. He transferred 1 million Loom tokens, over 20 million Nucleus Vision tokens, 2 million Pareto Network tokens, over 75,000 Bread and others related to VIN, IndianHash, Telcoin and WaBi. Now, he is planning to catch the hacker who caused him so much trouble and financial loss, though he isn’t worried too much about the money and taking the incident as a lesson.Įtherscan has identified 121 transactions listed by Balina under the handle IanBal_Hack followed by numbers up to four. Much later, Balina revealed that he didn’t halt the broadcast on his own but was actually forced out of his Google Sheets profile.
I think they hacked my using my college email and then hacked my Evernote,” said Balina.
“I kept text versions of my private keys stored in my Evernote, as encrypted text files with passwords. He worked with the security team of the college to fix the issue but since it took too long so he just gave up using that old address. The email address was hacked previously and he received an email from the college about it too. It is believed that someone hacked his old college email address, which he has listed as his main email recovery address in Gmail.

The comment read: “Ian, did you know that somebody transferred all your tokens from your account?”Īfter 15 minutes, Balina’s broadcast abruptly ended (which he claims was caused by a power outage) so he took out the plug and didn’t turn on the device until two hours. What happened was that while Balina was busy with his stream, a viewer noticed that all the tokens stored in Balina’s wallet got drained the viewer posted about this as well but the comment went unnoticed. Unfortunately, the blogger became a victim of cybercrime recently where he lost roughly $2 million in tokens. He is known for reviewing cryptocurrency initial coin offerings (ICOs) via live streaming of videos. Ian Balina is a well-known, sponsored YouTube blogger or rather Vlogger.
