Topic: C-CEX.COM Authorization Failed Email (Read 742 times)
Seems like someone trying to use the passwords you have used in some phising sites or other random webpages to access your c-cex account but they failed. You need to keep in mind that don't use same passwords in every site you make an account and also i suggest you to change your password to quite stronger one as well as i think c-cex have 2fa, enable it.
Thanks for the response and I appreciated it.
Just wondering how those people involved able to know the list of possible username/s in that exchange since like I mentioned, Im just logging in using my PC at home.
My account there is somehow secure based on my own way of securing it and the only way to wreck my account there is the site itself will turned to a fraud.

you may want to contact c-cex https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/c-cex-220467 or their ticket service or their topic https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/c-cexcom-trusted-secure-friendly-exchange-since-2013-200-altsusdlow-fees-418700 and ask them.
but did you use your username on c-cex on other places like having the same username on c-cex and another exchange or forums?
So a hacker can spy on you from another part of the world to get your password and email without you being aware of what's happening?
the communication is over an encrypted https
"The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_ECDSA), and a strong cipher (CHACHA20_POLY1305)."
so no it is not possible to "spy" and get that but hacking their database is another story.

I had this similar problem and did the same. It seems that OP's email was among one of the emails used in a brute force attack hence the email. I also changed my password and enabled my 2FA. Enabling it would significantly improve the security of your account over there.
Probably one of the possible reason how they have some sort of usernames.
I think the person who tried to log-in to your account must've gotten your email/username from other website/forums database. if you'd used the same ids if not it's probably c-cex was compromised.

Sounds scary I also have account in c-cex and never experienced that happen to you. Im just thinking now to use 2fa in case some one will try to open my account.
it is scary for those who don't have 2fa active. i once had lost money because i did not activate my 2fa security. i was so careless but now no matter what i activate 2fa on every site i use.

I didn't logged on my C-CEX exchange account and then I received this email prompt.
What does it mean? Somebody else is trying to access my account? How is that possible since Im only logging on to any exchange site at my home? Anybody receiving the same email?
Thanks.

to log in c-cex exchange you generally need a username and password. so for example someone went to the site entered "harizen" (or your whatever your username is on c-cex) and tried different passwords like 123,... and obviously failed. this is the way how the system is telling you about it.
1. Confirmation emails like these are send when someone other than you (in some cases you will be notified on every login attempt - yours too) is trying to access your account.
2. It means than your account is most likely a target for some kind of hacking.
3. It is advised to tighten your security options after receiving mails like these (enable 2FA if you haven't already, change password for more secure one etc.)

If it was not You then just ignore this message and make sure your password strong enough and not compromised. We also strongly recommend to turn two-factor authorization on (2FA) if You haven't it by now.

Its really apparent that there is someone knows what is your email used in that exchange and trying to access your account but he fails to do it. Its really recommended to change your password and enabled your 2fa security.
