Topic: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 - page 9. (Read 27905 times)
I don't know when this exchange hack race would stop! Within 5 months in 2019, almost 300 Million USD already hacked! The crypto market won't be accepted widely until this exchange hack stops! Bithumb is becoming the home of hackers. Every year, this exchange faced several hack attacks, and now I have a doubt with the team! Binance hack and 41M USD lost was totally disappointing! I wish this year, we won't see any major exchange hacks!
all i can say is that the attack on Mt.Gor exchange might be coming from the same person. this showcase the need for people to avoid abandoning their tokens on exchange. it is not advisable or favourable. get a wallet. whatever you earn from the exchange can be earn on the wallet.

This will never end, every day more phishing, scams, thefts ...
and with Bitcoin increasing the price, more exposed.

Good luck,

Hackers from North Korea were behind a phishing scam targeting users of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange UpBit, Korean-language cryptocurrency news outlet CoinDesk Korea reported on May 29.
According to findings by local cybersecurity firm East Security, the scam came in the form of an email sent to UpBit users requesting account information.
The pretence was a fake giveaway, with the emails also containing a file called “Event Winner Personal Information Collection and Usage Agreement.hwp,” which would run malicious code when opened.

I like that "not your key`s, not your bitcoins" part, it sums all up. Lost bitcoins are lost, you can`t get them back. There are no insurance that can print you bitcoins that you lost, bail outs in crypto would be funny thing to see.
Nice list, maybe some people will think about where to leave bitcoins after seeing this topic. If you don`t protect yourself who else will? Don`t expect from any kind of service to do your job.

Do you add local exchanges too? Coinsecure got hacked and it was reported on 12th April 2018: http://prntscr.com/np1rz3
And around $3.4 million (438.318 BTC) has been hacked from the Indian exchange.
They later refunded the users in 10% BTC and 90% INR though: https://www.coindesk.com/coinsecure-may-refund-rupees-not-bitcoin-3-4-million-heist
This is really a bad scenario in the market to be honest. Like your funds could be exposed to anyone who is good at hacking. After Binance got hacked, I have lost my belief in all the exchanges and am of the view that any exchange could be hacked if this could happen to the best exchange. The security could be improved as well like if we look at the security level of Pentagon in the US, the system is completely opaque to any hack attempt.

I think there is methods of following where the money is going and how to find who got the hack which is a bit scary considering we wanted crypto to be anon but after all its not as private as we once thought it was. I know the topic is hacking so it could be good right now but when it comes to people knowing how much bitcoin you have that could potentially change your opinion.
There was a group (a security firm I think) that actually followed all that money into which address' it went to and actually found the hackers bitcoin wallet address, that is great for following up and if that bitcoin address is attached to some exchange to cash out to fiat they could actually contact at least the most famous exchanges and see if they had it and with KYC they could potentially identify the hacker. Now, that is a very long and tiring work but after all it could be definitely done to say the least. If they can manage it then it would change the shape of crypto currency forever both by less hacks but also less privacy.

The Mt Gox robbery of 2014 was the mother of all hacks. Some BTC650,000 was stolen, on top of tens of millions of USD worth of fiat. At current exchange rates, the total net worth of the stolen items would amount to $5.25 billion. There were a few users who lost more than BTC10,000. Five years have passed and the investigation has produced no results.
Investigation? By who, how would they detect the perpetrator with this anonymous system of cryptocurrency, this is how Binance issue will go too and it will be impossible for them to even get a clue to who the fraudster is.They better put pressure on government to regulate cryptocurrency and also subject themselves to regulation, that is the only way we can start finding solution to apprehending any scammer, which will still not be that easy provided they scammed through a blockchain technology, but at least with government regulation, it is has a way of instilling fears and reducing the number of perpetrators.
Investigation happens because users with deposits complained about the site and they want to claim their lost bitcoin and also their creditors.
This case was a hot topic before and I guess the remaining assets will be sent to its creditors or to those party that are allowed to claim.

Actually prevention should be done, and I agree that crypto will be regulated and the last big hack should be a call for the regulators to act.

That is why I prioritize security over other factors, when it comes to exchange platforms. The best one I found so far is CoinDeal. It has great security protocols: https://coindeal.com/security

Nice information you got there. So in coincheck, NEM was hacked right? Why in the coinmarketcap, coincheck doesn't have NEM listed on their exchange? Was that because of the hacked?
