I have been watching the news all day from the creators of the Etherdelta exchange. They try, but for now it's not safe to visit their site. I think we will have good news for tomorrow. I do not want to give up this exchange, there are unique tokens and there is a good low price for buying.

So how did this all pan out? Safe again? Glad I was away during this, hopefully I wasn't affected!

Still not over yet and even when EtherDelta is up and running again they will have to put a lot of effort into convincing people that it's safe to trade there.

They do have the advantage that there isn't really anywhere else for people to trade such a variety of ERC20 tokens but security should be the priority. And now everyone should know that they must only trade on EtherDelta if they are using either MetaMask or the even safer option of BLUE chrome extension.

Either of those options would have prevented user's private keys being compromised even if the user had attempted trading on the fake EtherDelta site.

This is a disaster. This is why we need decentralised DNS and decentralised hosting of files. We need an entirely new decentralised web where this simply cannot happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if the DNS provider was the weak link that fell prey to social engineering and handed over control to the hacker.

I do not attend the Stock Etherdelta yet. We are all in anticipation of the owners fixing a hole for hackers. And perhaps double the budget for the maintenance of security services. The market is developing but the scammers are learning and becoming smarter, unfortunately.

EtherDelta confirmed the attack on Twitter and advised all users not to use the site. At the time of writing, they haven't lifted the warning, so EtherDelta should still be considered unsafe to use. Now risk trade on etherdelta .

This isn’t the first time when Etherdelta is under hacker attack. It was in October that the platform wasn’t accessible for some time and now the same thing. I’d like to think that developers of the platform will find the way to provide effective security.

i lost all my ethereum in my etherdelta account i dont know what to do now Angry

this will affect very badly on crypto world

Oh my, I hope is not a lot! I have just a little bit and did not use it today but is scary. Etherdelta was the one exchange that let you hold keys but even that is not enouhg

I am also very upset. It seemed to me that this is the most reliable exchange. But now I do not know which exchanger to trust. Etherdelta should now improve its security

As crypto investors we have to take personal responsibility for our security. This is proven by the latest EtherDelta hack as well as many other exchange/wallet hacks before this.

We simply cannot rely on exchanges alone to protect us.

For example, nobody should be leaving their funds on EtherDelta but after this hack it has become apparent that many people are still doing this.

Anyone who went through the simple process of setting up either MetaMask or the BLUE chrome extension would have kept their tokens safe from these ED hackers. We need to promote education and personal responsibility otherwise fear of getting hacked will keep mainstream money away from crypto.

Ohh yes! and a lot much funds were stuck in ED
However, if you follow them on github, you must have noticed the steps being provided to withdraw stuck funds from ED without login in ED (directly via MEW).

check your balance here: https://deltabalances.github.io/ by entering your public key so that you can understand if you got hit by it and if all your funds are safe there.

It is a very responsible move by our community members to immediately share the news of the hack. There are unfortunate few who have lost their coins. But many were saved thanks to the active spreading about the hacking.

Please keep yourself safe from logging into etherdelta. Why even enter when there is a serious, clear and confirmed threat? There are people who feel that the threat would have been abated by now since its been quite a while. But that would be most foolish. Until the website officially confirms that the threat and hacker has been countered, please do not access the site. Further, please wait for any other safety measure that the site announces for its members. To leave the site untouched for some days will be the wisest act. Curiosity kills the cat, remember.

This is a serious problem that we face in the crypto world. A solid protection should be provided for our wallets. As far as etherdelta is concerned, the ones who lost coins have been put to great misery. We need to further build our measures. We also.need to find ways to trace these hackers. Not only here but until things get streamlined, which might take few years from now, let us be extremely careful and cautious with all crypto sites and wallets.

Ethereum BLUE goes a lot further than any other security project to address the issues you've raised. I am an investor in their coin (but not a team member or dev) and I think they are going to be the future of Crypto security.
