Topic: Bancor hacked: The size of the impatience is millions of dollars (Read 142 times)
I do not know correctly if this bancor hit by hack, but if true it happens I think will be one big loss with a large amount and would certainly disrupt the transaction in bancor. I hope the market bancor can recover.
How hackers have access to ETH address? How could this even be they have taken appropriate security measures ??
Bancor will greatly affect the market. Hopefully the experts will find a way to fix this

$12.5 million worth of ETH and $1 million worth of NPXS hacked tokens i dont think will affect the current crypto price
because Bancor was ranked 85th in 24 Hour Volume Ranking CMC and the volume was only about $ 7 Million
but they already lost 13% of their BNT token value based on CoinMarketcap

once again millions of dollars (in crypto) were lost by a hack. i can not believe that such pages are not safer. there is trading with such high values. they would have to have enough money to make the site halfway safe. unbelievable....
this is a really shame from Bancor. They raised a lot of millions in their ICO...
how this could be even possible did they take appropriate security measures?? I don't know what to say anymore... everyday a new hack is announced or a new threat is discovered.
