Topic: Etherdelta was HACKED (Read 522 times)
I have used etherdelta a few hours ago, and it's safe, my advice if you want to import account do not use your main account, make a special eth wallet to trade in etherdelta or use add on metamask, still we have to be careful after the incident hacked yesterday
Is there any new from EtherDelta? They still hacked? or fixed the problem?
I got some tokens in my EtherDelta. I want my tokens back.

On December 22, they reported that everything was restored and the exchange started working in its regular mode in its Twitter account

*IMPORTANT* We are also gonna make a series of educational effort and UI/UX changes to make sure users know how to identify phishing attempts in the coming weeks.

*Announcement* EtherDelta is back!

*IMPORTANT* Also note deposits can only be accessed through user's individual private key via the EtherDelta contract. If you had *NEVER* imported your key on the imposer's phishing site, your deposit should be safe.

2/2 *IMPORTANT* Please note if you were using @metamask_io or hardware wallet on EtherDelta, your funds are completely *SAFE* from the phishing attack.
better use metamask to do all your ethereum dealing to avoid phishing attack usually imposing as MyEtherWallet.com, new release of firefox uses less memory to run, quit good to run metamask on it, brave also good minimalist browser with BAT wallet on it
etherdelta is back, you can use it again. i tried and there is no problem on my side. they changed dns servers it's working good now. check out their twitter for latest news.

manchester93 may I ask where did you get information people still losing their Tokens?
On Twitter.
I just don't understand how to withdraw the ETH using MEW. When I use the "withdraw" function I get "Warning! Error encountered during contract execution [Bad instruction]" and the transaction doesn't confirm. Why?
The "deposit" function works fine, but obviously that just puts more in the smart contract.....
EDIT: Found the answer. Need to use proper unit. https://twitter.com/EthereumBlue/status/943925235098816519
Glad to have my funds safe now. I can finally sleep!
Of course, this is just to remind us that etherdelta isn't a wallet for you to store your coins but this is a trading platform. After you trade, kindly withdraw your coins and just store it in MEW and just deposit again if you wanna trade again and don't mind if there's any fee.
This hacking incident is just a wake up call to all of us that there's nothing safe anymore so be cautious enough with all our actions.
As at the time the hacking incident happened I had logged in to Etherdelta with my private key. At the moment I heard the news, I withdrew my last batch of tokens and logged out while the orderr was been processed. I got my tokens in MEW a day later and all my funds are intact as at now. But Im still scared, am I safe?
Same here, I also logged in on etherdelta with my private key and tokens but good thing that my balance is still there after the hacking incident has passed. I guess etherdelta is now safe and ok to use because I don't see any warnings on their site.
If I did not go to EtherDelta for 5-6 days, my deposit on the exchange as well as my MEW wallet is safe? Hackers just collected private keys from those who directly imported them to the phishing site, right?
it is stil safe but I think it is advisable to change your username and password on Ed,mew,metamask or any other wallets you use to link your Ed because hackers may have now access to Ed's database and they can now access every users credentials and account.
This is scary. A Exchange itself getting Hacked. Its one of the man platforms for Ethereum.
They should be ultra secured in their infrastucture. I hope the private keys of people are not stolen. That would be a disaster for ETH.

I got out most of my ETH and all my tokens. But I still have a couple ETH in the smart contract. How can I get it out? When I use the "withdraw" function in MEW, it only reads my wallet amount (~empty), not the amount in the smart contract.
You will need to open EtherDelta and withdraw from ED website. Second option is use MyEtherWallet to withdraw ETH from smart contract to wallet. here is a link to video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slru097RrfM&feature=youtu.be
Is it safe to open ED right now? I saw the announcement on Twitter, but people are still reporting losing money.
In that case better if you wait. You can always withdraw Tokens using MyEtherWallet. I did withdraw 2 days ago all my Tokens worth 4ETH from ED smart contract. Took me 3h, and 30$ in fees (21,30,40 GWEI) but all Tokens are safe now. Normally I always buy Tokens and withdraw them from ED Smart Contract and transfer to MyEtherWallet address immediately. My MEW wallets I never Login or use private key and I store keys on offline PC encrypted with VeraCrypt. I check balances using ethereum explorer. Keep in mind that using couple wallet addresses is a good idea. I store Tokens this way in 6 different wallets.

The error says I don't have enough funds. I have 0 ETH in my "wallet" and 1.16 ETH in the Etherdelta contract. Does the gas fee come from my wallet? Is that why I get the error, because I can't cover the gas?

It proves that Etherdelta has a low on security.
too risky to put coins on that exchanger
too risky to put coins on that exchanger
You don't need to put coins, once you finish trading you move your Tokens from EtherDelta Smart Contract to Your wallet, if you want super security you can then transfer to another address (that's what I do) and then I check on Ethereum Network Explorer if the transfer is successful and balance is OK.
EtherDelta is a good ERC20 Token exchange, if someone lost Tokens in recent DNS hack it only proves more time is needed to learn and be more careful. Basically, when you open EtherDelta you should see your balance - the website should never ask you to login if you didn't "Forget / Logout". This should be the first red flag for you, I never clean history on my browser so I can open EtherDelta quick. Always try move coins after trading complete, never leave Tokens on exchange.
*** Official update from Reddit - EtherDelta ***
Site has been restored and secured. Official announcement soon.
Just to clear up a few things:
1) If you use Metamask, you're fine.
2) If you use a Ledger, you're fine.
3) If you didn't visit the site on Dec 20th or 21st, you're fine.
If you store your key in a cookie, and you might have visited the site over the last two days (even just loading it), you should assume your key is burned, and transfer Eth and tokens to a new address. Now's a great time to learn to use Metamask!

Sad with what happened to etherdelta hopefully this problem is quickly over and no one is harmed by this problem
I agree with you, hopefully no one harmed by the problem of etherdelta because there are lots of user in etherdelta which are have a lot of tokens right now. I hope I manage to avoid it when I logged in last time.
This is the reason why is not advisable to keep bitcoin or altcoin on exchange site.
