The exchange of cryptopia has become one of my favorites since I started crypto. I hope this is resolved faster so that the trade / withdrawal can continue smoothly. I was very surprised to hear this news as I did not expect.

And what happen to the coins in that we deposit on there, Ill hope they are not gone but i will try to checked. Ill hope they can recover and being secured always of the cryptopia site. This site was one of trusted that i'm always trade on.

That's going to be a hassle if your money there was affected. I'm not sure if there's any insurances that covers crytopia assets but it's likely most exchanges don't. I've read the hackers got millions worth in eth and tokens.

Cryptopia was one of the first exchanges that I opened an account and It was one of my favorite because of this emotional bond that I had with it. I am very sad it got hacked and it puzzles me how that happened. Cryptopia was never a target and volumes were very low there compared to other exchanges. What is more frustrating is that they do not provide detailed information about the security breach. Seems like they are hiding something.

Another new year struggle.
This should be serve as  an example to be more careful caring what we owned most specially the big persons here.
Exchange is a place where money flooding as always. It must be treated as the most important part to be secured at all times to avoid hacking attack.

Very surprised. I have assets there and I intend to hold them long term. This is really beyond my expectations, can the exchange of cryptopia still be saved? I opened the exchange and is still in maintenance.

Good timing, ain't it? Just 2 weeks after the "Proof of Keys" event. Remember: "NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR BITCOIN" -Aantonop

Add a bad list of cryptocurrency and exchange. Cryptopia, the old exchange category, also experienced an unwanted thing, namely experiencing hackers. this will make the market unstable

Hopely there is no more exchanger getting hacked again. Its true that we should store our coin in our own wallet but many people want to trade and store their coin in exchanger. Hopely, after cryptopia incident, most big exchanger increasing their security to avoid hacking

 what happened to Cryptopia it's a good exchanger of a great volume of transactions without a high security that hackers can stole it, It's a very bad news in the begining of the new year.

I saw a lot of people thinking this is the way Cryptopia will exit as a scam. It could be an exit scam event but more likely they did get hacked as was only about 2Mil stolen. If they were going to exit scam im sure they would have stolen be alot more.

The list of hacked exchanges are just getting larger. That is the downfall of the strictly centralized exchanges. In 2018, hackers managed to syphon out around 731 million usd from exchanges and cryptopia is the first one in 2019. I am sure, this is not the end and the list will grow even larger in 2019.

Can decentralized exchanges be the solution to prevent such hacks? Since centralized exchanges keep their money into a centralized location, it's lucrative for the hackers. But in decentralized exchanges, handling of money is controlled by the users and not kept in a centralized location. What do you guys think? Should we pay more attention to decentralized exchanges going forward?
The challenge is the size of coins decentralized exchanges are willing to add from other blockchain platforms. If I can also remember etherdelta(decentralized exchange) was also hacked in 2017.

It seems to me that now you cannot trust anyone, rely only on yourself. And always calculate the possible risks. You never know what awaits you tomorrow ...

The Proof of Keys event rattled the cage and I think a lot of exchanges might follow the same fate. I am not saying that this was a inside job, but some exchanges might do this to hide their fractional trading strategies. The coins stolen might not even existed at all and this might be a strategy to use this as an excuse to go bankrupt.

The authorities lack the knowledge to investigate most of these hacks, so most of these corrupt exchanges walk away without any repercussions.  Angry

This news made us more cautious and cautious about the exchange of decentralization, cryptopia was the first exchange that had been hit early this year, alarming. Users must have other exchanges to be safer for their assets. It seems that Binance can provide security.
