Not sure how serious this is but it appears that some users' accounts are being emptied

It's way more serious than what they've tweeted earlier in the day ^{[despite reading only some of the comments on that tweet, 1/4th of them seemed to be affected]}!

Makes you wonder yet again how safe 2FA really is when people have their APP & Email & 2FA all on the same device.

Depends on how safe that particular device is, but I wouldn't call that a proper 2FA setup!

Exchanges are never 100%, even if you use 2FA.

I don't trust exchanges software. I think it may be possible that a hacker find a way to bypass the 2FA and log into the account directly without using 2FA.

personally, I never keep funds in exchanges. If I want to sell, I send my coins and sell. If I want to buy, I send the fiat, buy and withdrawal.

Mining and withdrawal fees are the price of a good security. I think it is worth.

According to their twitter feed they are rolling out some changes and will re-enable soon.
Wonder if they will give an after action report as to what happened.

I really love people that use something like Google Authenticator or Authy and then also SMS both on the same phone.

Not sure how serious this is but it appears that some users' accounts are being emptied[1][2][3] (even with 2FA) and withdrawals have been suspended for now.

If you noticed any suspicious activity in your account, I suggest you reach out to support.
