Hackers are increasingly rampant, as evidenced by the fact that they have stolen the money of many investors on various trading floors. Sophistication and a variety of tricks can help hackers steal money in your wallet easily if you are not careful. So I want the investor to be careful and keep his wallet safe.

Hackers are really a serious threat to your investment, and you should try to protect your cryptocurrency as much as possible. On this forum suggest a lot of good wallets, for example, I use Trezor as it has a very good reputation. And of course, do not keep your coins on the exchange, as this is the most vulnerable place to store.

The main advantage of bitcoin is that it is concentrated on the Internet, but it is also its main disadvantage, because smart hackers can get to it. But in our power to do everything to prevent this from happening-it is enough to choose a good hardware wallet and do not trust anyone with your passwords. I do just that and for the past few years my coins are completely safe.

This is a real threat nowadays. Scammers and hackers are looking for a new modern ways to do their illegal ways and just to steal money from the innocent holders. We should have the initiative to protect our coins and token especially if you hold a big amount of it. But as this evolution of fraud, the protection of the exchanges and wallet are getting tough also, but as usual they have to experienced event to double their security. Just be aware of what we are doing online.

You're right, the safety of our coins depends on us. It is necessary to choose only reliable, proven wallets and keep the minimum number of coins on the exchange, and it is better not to keep them there at all.

The security system is of particular concern to ensure the comfort of every Bitcoin owner and that exchange should guarantee that. Hackers will always lurk and try to steal at every place, both in exchange and in the account of each bitcoin owner. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the security that is good enough in every exchange that exists, and every bitcoin owner must also be able to maintain the security of bitcoin they have in order to avoid the theft of bitcoin from every bitcoin owner.

Exchanges are highly targeted by hackers since there are alot of money in there. Therefore, it is really important not to store any coin or token in exchange for the long term.
All this time, what has always been a target by hackers is a place for cryptocurrency exchange. Starting from Japan until South Korea was the target of theft, which was worth millions of US dollars. But it is not impossible that hackers are eyeing purses containing crytocurrency if the owner is off guard ... The question is, if theft continues to occur it is not impossible for confidence in cryptocurrency to decline.

This is true? There is a great deal of information that suggests that this is just a trap to legitimize Bitcoins of an organization that becomes their own. There is also a lot of information out there that is a way to market down with bad news.

I'm not sure whether this is true or just a joke that wants to make us panic and fear. do not believe easily if there is no proof and do not be too thought about if there is bad news about crypto because it will affect your mind. we must always believe in our own thoughts.

I don't believe it at all, even often I hear that a lot of bitcoins are hacked in exchange, of course this can be a news that gives panic to everyone and there is also the possibility of insiders doing theft, that old players know that bitcoin will rise drastically in the year that has been determined, so just consider this a mere joke ...

There is no cause for alarm. As a cyber expert, I can tell you that the exchanges are secure enough for us all. Exchanges can learn from this news and increase their authentication, though. However, I suspect a foul play from insiders, in this case of the Japanese Exchange Zaif attack.
Each exchange implements their own security and they do this according to their abilities and their budget so it's impossible to make a general statement about the security of exchanges, at best you could make an a statement about the particular security of an exchange and nothing more, however it doesn't matter the level of security exchanges implement when the hack most of the time is done by a person inside the organization.

This is why many people are losing faith in exchanges and want decentralized exchanges to become more popular and to have bigger volume because in a decentralized exchange you are always in control of your private keys unlike what happens with centralized exchanges.

things like this that scared a lot of people, I think we also need to form a security team to protect all exchanges and crypto. and I'm sure everyone agrees with this even though they have to pay money for this security.

I hope that in the future someone can think of an excellent method to solve this problem. This really worries everyone and make Bitcoin less attractive as an investment. I'm so done with hackers!

That's not the first case of hackers, so I don't think that have much impact on the market. Banks and some fintech company somtimes get hacked like that. Anyway, we should be on the alert all the time because hackers always tend to attack crypocurrency exchange system which contains lots of money.

I just knew that the exchange was hacked, and this is the one reason I never save my crypto on exchanges.
I think $59M is very-very big amount, I hope every exchange increases security and use Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
And i hope nothing like this anymore  Wink



Things like this are going to keep happening, it is inevitable what you need to do is to try to find a way to minimize the risks to yourself, and this is relatively easy if you are a trader that holds his coins for several weeks or months, you do not really need to leave your coins at the exchange, you can deposit your coins, make your trades and then withdraw your coins to an address that only you control.

I know that a lot of people do not like to do this because it takes a lot of time and it takes fees, but when the exchange in which you trade your coins is hacked that is when you truly appreciate all the effort that you made, you need to remember that when you deal with huge amounts of money it takes a lot of time to multiply it but it only takes one mistake to lose at all.

Really sad to hear that, I was thinking to they encrypt the private keys or do they store them directly into the database. God damn, it was never a better time in history to be a skillful hacker. Nice would be if the exchanges would fake hackers attack just to get this kind of money Tongue
