Last night Experty ICO database was hacked, and all private information was stolen. Experty team approved that passwords were not stored in plaintext so they are safe.
All KYC information was colleted by Bitcoin Suisse, so it's also safe.
Almost every ICO requires to pass KYC so how to keep your data safe? It can happen to another ICO and the impact can be much worse.

"Hacked" "Safe"

Two words that don't belong together. It's black and white, all your info is now being sold on the darkweb as we speak

This is where vendors like SelfKey a blockchain based ID verification system can prevent or mitigate these types of disasters. Anything on a database can be hacked but not on a blockchain. Polymath a securities based company with one of the biggest token sales planned is using Selfkey for KYC.

I love crypto and I love the decentralization... no longer should we rely on central banks to give us access to new business opportunities. That said, the lack of discipline in many of these ICO's is very concerning. Everyday it seems like there's an ICO hack, scam, or huge failure.

**May I add that DeepOnion's airdrop campaign for productive community members is better and safer than throwing millions at a barely known project team**

Seriously, DeepOnion signature campaign participants are like a cult. It's been months and the spam still doesn't end.
What does your failure of a privacy coin has to do with an ICO related incident, deeponion doesn't even conduct an ICO.

That's why i never joined an ICO that is asking my personal stuffs, these KYC stuffs is counter productive on why crypto currency was invented.

Those Personal Information will be worth alot of $$, it can be used as a marketing materials to promote another ICO, Its always best to use disposable email address.

Guys, team offers ICO as 'team of experts' but can not do well-protected site for this? And they named self 'experts'? How it can be? May be they need some more prepare before start anything? No?

Maybe they are experts of ICO but not web development Cheesy

You must be cautious when posting your official information on the internet! Any information can be obtained for tracking, insight or more! Internet is fast and attractive but not paying attention will be really insecure.

We need a third party is required to collect and verify KYC data.
Otherwise, our KYC information is too dangerous to be used by criminals at any time.
The fact that experty.io data leaked made me wary.

It is a good idea to be verified by third party and use your verified identity in other ICOs.

It was the most professional scam email I have seen so far. They at least got pledged contribution amount, the registered mew and of course your email. They say bitcoinsuisse did not get compromised but for me any further participation in experty ico is out of question. I do not trust them any more. They should have asked Hacken or other cybersecurity to check everything.

I've only seen their announcement regarding to the fake e-mails asking to send funds when the presale is already over: https://medium.com/@experty_io/experty-official-security-announcement-db2bb1e66de7
So if the passwords and KYC are safe then what private information was stolen? It seems to be a failed attempt if no one was stupid enough to send money to the e-mailed address after the tokensale.

Impotant news due that last time more and more ICOs requested personal information of participants. So this ICOs should improve their securuty systems before to request such information.

When I received the email, I felt suspicious and did not send any information or ETH. It's worrying about this.

Indeed, I received an email from experty.io today.
I was skeptical and eventually found out that it was a fake email, but it has been found that many people started sending ETH to the ETH address.
This is scary. When these excellent ICO projects are stolen from the database, our KYC data may be sold.
