I have seen a news about hacked cryptopia exchange that who (hackers) hacked the exchange 16 millions dollars have returned . But i don't sure about the news that 100% right. You can find the news here : http://cryptocrunchapp.com/news/15-days-later-the-cryptopia-hack-continues/

No, they've not returned. They actually deleted Cryptopia's copy of Ethereum private key after copying it for themselves on the day of hack. It's not like that Cryptopia has been hacked again!

Farewell, Leo. You will be missed!

It is these types of news that will make the headlines and make potential investors go: Nah, lets invest our money somewhere else, far away from the crypto industry. And can we blame them? How many times have we already heard about exchanges being hacked, wallets being compromised, exit scams etc...

For the past few months the volume was about $2millions/day.

For NZ? For Cryptopia Users at first!!!!!

"$2millions/month"
$2millions/day I assume.
Where did you find these figures please?

Yes 2millions / day

Source here : https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/reports
And here (look at the graph for past 30 days ) : https://coinlib.io/exchange/cryptopia

Hello,

Also discover this this morning and was again really surprise that a so large exchange could have security breach and lead to so important theft.

I again better understand why at the beginning when I entered crypto I heard many people always claim to don't leave our assets on exchnages if you want to hold.

Do you think an exchange like cryptopia could recover after a so big seurity issue even without thinking about refunding the poor users ?

And more generally what do you think about the impact on ERC-20 token/environment ? Finally other own blockchains are more sheltered because more hard to hack differents ones in the same time ?

Special thinking for the people who lost their money.

Thanks Kenzawak for the photos.

Also, so far the losses are about 3 millions usd.

This seams not much, but it is quite a lot.

For the past few months the volume was about $2millions/month.

Their fees is 0.2%

3millions/0.2% = 1.5 billions $ of trading volume

It is the equivalent of 750 days of fees (without paying employees, servers....)

Maybe they can raise some money from new investors, else that will have to use users’ funds.

This is sad for NZ.

Apparently the hacker is the same who hacked etherdelta in 2017 :

Hello, Have you seen this statement from Cryptopia (largest exchange for New Zealand / Australia)

Tweet : https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ/status/1085084168852291586

And the tweets from @whaleAlert showing the 2 (for the moment) identified fraudulent withdrawals 1) "19,391 #ETH (2,438,152 USD)"

https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1084442862970945536

And this one : "48,029,306 #CENNZ (1,176,596 USD) "

https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1084444049313021952

We don't know yet if they can cope for the loss or how the users will be affected.
I once read that they had 1 million users.
I know that they have about 100 staff in Christchurch (NZ)

I think that @Lafu might work there, maybe he can let us know more about the situation.
I didn't have much on it (100$ or so).
I hope that none of you guys will be impacted.

Thanks kenzawak for the help with the pictures.
