I wonder what will be left when they re-open? if they re-open.

Time for the decentralised exchanges to take over and people start to use those.

who lost some BTC there?

Will they be back or gone for good. At least these people are known are they not?

I wonder what will be left when they re-open? if they re-open.

Time for people to wake up and realise these centralised exchanges are just sitting ducks. You never know when they will be hit next.

Time for the decentralised exchanges to take over and people start to use those.

Who here uses any of the decentralised exchanges?

I am also looking forward for that DEX from a well known trading platform like Binance. That is more secured specially they are backed up by the said exchange so I am pretty sure that most of the exchanges will follow the footsteps of binance if this DEX becomes successful. I am only thinking that the government will be given a hard time on how they regulate such DEX if millions are using it right? I am also a big fan of DEXs because I felt safer not giving my personal information.

Is this for real and where from you got that news? Nothing has been mentioned if this hacker is the same person who has already hijacked etherdelta's DNS.
Another million dollars being stolen by hackers.
I just curious about is there a piece of news about that? Can you tell me the source?

In fact, when examining blockchain records, it may have been the same hacker that stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of ETH back in 2017 by lifting private keys from decentralized exchange Etherdelta. Some ETH from the source of funds used for the Etherdelta attack was sent to the same address as a likely recipient of the Cryptopia hack. And it’s a rather suspicious address indeed.

On January 13, 19,390 ETH was sent from a Cryptopia exchange-owned wallet to this address, alongside smaller payments of 1,280, 75 and four ETH. What’s unusual about this recipient’s account is that since that payment, around 75,000 small transactions have been sent to it—all in the last 15 hours. The source of the payments come from other exchanges including Kraken, Binance and Nanopool.

However, one inbound payment caught our eye. If you click on this transaction, and look to the source of its funds, you end up at this address. This was identified as the source of funds for the 2017 Etherdelta attack in this investigation by Hackernoon. Included in the comments on Etherscan, many have left messages asking for funds to be returned as well as one calling for a hit on the hacker. Clearly people are angry but it looks like many haven’t learned their lesson. On January 3, the crypto community were told again and again to take their coins off exchanges as part of a movement led by Tone Vays. Perhaps they were tone deaf instead.

What happened to cryptopia? Not working any more. Thank God I stopped trading in that exchange for a while now.

Looking for binance to launch their DEX in Feb 2019,will make the use of decentralized exchanges more.

Last year, etherdelta was "hacked" by same hackers who "hacked" now cryptopia.

Who here uses any of the decentralised exchanges?

Unfortunately it is true, they were hacked and money (valuable tokens) were carted away without any troubles

It is a painful event in the Cryptocurrency word and what is the way out of this mess ?
How to prevent such hacks ?

what's with cryptopia I just read the news that the market was hacked, is that true?
I have a few Assets there, but maybe it's not much because the price has been destroyed. for those who have large assets there it must be very painful.

I don't know what is up with Cryptopia and only used them a couple of times and have no coins there at all. But speaking about decentralized exchanges, I am a big fan of them and I wish they can do better but some decentralized exchanges are just bad and have a lot of problems that can lead to huge loss in money for traders there too. But there are really good decentralized exchanges that I use on a daily bases too. so ya until now there is no perfect solution for us yet.
