Thankfully I didn't mainly trade on Cryptopia as I only discovered it while trying to sell an altcoin worth a few dollars at best.

But still, a wake up call for the rest to keep as much of their funds off exchanges as possible.

True, I always put my stuff in my own wallets. But if you unlucky, while doing a trade ....

It is easier to keep token on ethereum platform and bitcoin to wallet compare with the tokens from stellar, neo etc. Thank God am not a victim but people will still be victims cause we cant just but put some coin on wallet for trades.

I encountered it before; suffered a stolen (in-joke) on Bitgrail with a bunch of my NANO withdrawn. I was left with no choice prior to the incident although the exchange was shady due to the limited exchanges NANO had back then.

Until now, the lawsuit is still ongoing.

On Tuesday morning, Cryptopia, a lesser-known crypto exchange centered around small cap assets, took to Twitter to release a harrowing piece of news. Company representatives claimed that on January 14th, Cryptopia, a platform that trades approximately $1 million of digital assets each and every day, “suffered a security breach.”
