With this long lists of hacked exchanges and probably even more to come, it can't be overruled that exchanges are not secured mostly centralized exchanges; although some were able to manage it, a good number weren't which lead to terrible losses. Moreover, so far exchanges will continue existing, hackers will always see them as a potential place to steal from. Thus, as many have said and will continue saying, if one cares for the safety of his assets then the only line of security is keeping those huge assets off exchanges.

It is awesome that Binance managed to get all that money and realized that money was from the upbit and actually decided to even give it back to upbit as well. That is like the best type of friendship you could find in the exchange world, Binance knows how hard it is to run an exchange so they are making friends with the other exchanges instead of being rivals.

Think about it, it is quite easy to just keep the money because you want some other exchange to bankrupt, they are your rival after all and it doesn't make sense to help them out financially, they will be doing better thanks to your move and be your competition.

In face of all of that actually helping out and being friendly worths a lot. CZ was always the reason why I prefer binance, dude basically is the epitome of a successful crypto person.

Cryptocurrency exchanges have become an easy target for hackers. The list is enormous and the amount lost is staggering. New upcoming exchanges are more vulnerable to attacks. In most cases it has been an insider job or a rival exchange.

This business is so lucrative that everyone wants to have a pie of it but none of them want to safe guard investors money. It is sad to see so many name in this list every year.

Binance Quashes Upbit Hackers’ Attempt to Launder Stolen Funds

Quote

Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao tweeted soon after that the funds had been successfully frozen and that the money would shortly be returned to Upbit. The time between hackers transferring the ether to Binance, and the exchange blocking funds, was little more than half an hour.

These decentralized finance things are somehow getting easier and easier to get hacked, I mean they are saying its decentralized but in reality they are becoming more centralized to hackers apparently Cheesy

What is the point of creating a defi system just because you think everything should be decentralized and not centralized?

I mean I get it, I love the decentralization in bitcoin but at the same time bitcoin can do it and it is against hacking as well and its quite good at being one, yet exchanges who are disliking and dismissing the centralized exchanges like binance should be capable of holding the funds there, if you are not capable of "not getting hacked", I am sorry but it is obvious why people would prefer binance or any other centralized company over the defi ones easily.

I hope this year no more hack exchange to add in that list and for the team of the trading sites make sure to secure your system and also the information of your traders/user because they are affected to that also and posaible their real Identity to be compromised just like for the exchange who required KYC.

The list of attacks will continue to grow. Exchange owners need to insure funds so that users do not suffer from hacker attacks. Users also do not need to store large amounts on exchanges

This is pretty crazy when you sit down and look at this list. That's a LOT of money we're dealing with here.

I'm sure DEX's will be the answer to our prayers eventually, as a REAL DEX cannot be hacked, 100% trustless and permissionless, which is making it very appealing.

The problem with most DEX's is: Speed, and Liquidity.

Stakenet's Lightning Network compatible DEX solves both of these issues. Trading through the Lightning Network reduces fees, and makes trading happen pretty much instantly, furthermore their "DEX Aggragator" will combine multiple DEX orderbooks together and provide a TON on liquidity.

Network of Fake Bitcoin QR Code Generators Stole $45,000 in March

Quote

A network of malicious QR code generators has stolen more than $40,000 from Bitcoin (BTC) users in one month.

At least nine fake Bitcoin-to-QR code generators have been spotted in recent weeks, with security researcher, Harry Denley, first tweeting that he had identified two domains hosting fake QR code applications on March 22.

Denley later identified seven other domains sharing the same interface — suggesting that they are all created by the same developer.

The malicious websites are

-bitcoin-barcode-generator.com
-bitcoinaddresstoqrcode.com
-bitcoins-qr-code.com
-btc-to-qr.com
-create-bitcoin-qr-code.com
-free-bitcoin-qr-codes.com
-freebitcoinqrcodes.com
-qr-code-bitcoin.com
-qrcodebtc.com.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/network-of-fake-bitcoin-qr-code-generators-stole-45-000-in-march

Be careful where you generate QR codes, the safest way to do it is from your own wallet, do not trust external pages.

yet people arent still learning from these hacks.. still using unsecured and unreliable exchanges. Huh

I am not trying to defend then, but those who use unreliable exchanges are probably looking for more profit by taking more risk during the process.

We can't judge them by only one point of view.

Trident Crypto Fund Data Breach: 266,000 Passwords Stolen

Quote

In a major privacy breach, the usernames and passwords of more than a quarter of a million Trident Crypto Fund customers have been stolen and published online.

Technical director of cybersecurity firm DeviceLock Ashot Oganesyan told Russian news outlet IZ the database — which contains email addresses, cellphone numbers, encrypted passwords and IP addresses — had been uploaded to various file sharing websites on February 20.
Earlier this week, hackers decrypted and published close to 120,000 of the passwords, potentially enabling them to log into affected users’ accounts and access their funds.

I do not trust exchanges to store my cryptocurrencies. Even the popular exchanges have a history of hacked and stolen cryptocurrencies so I only hold my funds on exchanges when I need to trade them. When you are offline the assets on your exchange is highly vulnerable to being hacked. So store your assets in secure wallets to avoid risks.

DENVER – Decentralized finance (DeFi) project bZx has suffered an attack in which a hacker successfully gamed multiple DeFi protocols to extract $350,000 from the platform, about 2 percent of the assets under management.

Quote

The attack could be symptomatic of a continuing issue in DeFi, said Chainlink CEO Sergey Nazarov at the event: how to source price information.

The attack was even more notable because of its timing as the team had to deal with the hack during the ethereum community’s
EthDenver hackathon, which largely focuses on DeFi.

It's sad that everyear they have Exchanges that being hacked by the hackers , most of the site listed the security is good Like Binance but the hackers are very smart because they enter and get the money from the exchange.

I hope this year no more hack exchange to add in that list and for the team of the trading sites make sure to secure your system and also the information of your traders/user because they are affected to that also and posaible their real Identity to be compromised just like for the exchange who required KYC.

IOTA Network Has Been Hacked and Funds Stolen, AGAIN!

Quote

It appears as if IOTA, the blockless network, has been attacked, hacked, and funds stolen if recent reports is anything to go by.

Representatives of the decentralized network are now working closely with law enforcement and cyber-security experts to investigate what they say is a “coordinated attack” that resulted in a loss of funds.

The Coordinator has been paused
The IOTA Foundation has subsequently paused the Coordinator and are urging users not to use their official wallet, Trinity, until further notice.

https://coingape.com/iota-network-has-been-hacked-and-funds-stolen-again/

IOTA Foundation pauses network, says between $300K and $1.2M worth of tokens stolen from users of Trinity wallet

Quote

Between $300,000 to $1.2 million worth of IOTA tokens are believed to have been stolen, according to IOTA Foundation co-founder Dominik Schiener.
