The attackers gained control of the official website, slack channel, Twitter handle and mailing list. That's even worse than what happened to coindash.

It's just scam if attackers are insiders.

same password and it's such an easy feat for an insider.

Especially when the aim is to get press attention.

It's cleverly machiavellian. It accomplishes so much for the ICO founders with little to no recourse.
