Can anyone tell me how can I tell if I've been effected by this bittrex leak?
With all our info including our passports they can easily pretend to be us
WTF do i do now?
I contacted my phone provider as with our info they can ring up and change our phone number which they gained from bittrex over to another simcard and then bypass all 2 factor for starters including access to our email address if that uses 2 factor code sent to phone.
With our info can't search for other places we use our details.
not to mention now do I have to be worried about someone using my identity for fraud,making bank accounts and doing what they can to use it to their advantage
I don't really want to change my email address for hundreds of sites, I don't want a new phone number but one thing I can't change if they have is my passport info..but I really don't know what to do now
ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED

I replied to your own thread.
As for Bittrex, If they are genuine, they will survive. They handled the whole transition completely wrong. This started with the communication, and has worsened by not properly handling their support tickets. Also, communicating with exit strategies for people who wanted to GTFO should have been done at a much earlier state. They should have rejected payments for accounts that don't allow withdrawal. 0 BTC withdrawal limit, seriously? Even within the US legal framework this is overdoing it if there is no exit strategy.
They made a shitload of errors, but as long as many people aren't effected they can continue... but be warned for when the shit really hits the fan.
