This thread isn't clear at all, and IDEX isn't even giving an official reply.

I want to know whether
a) we are talking about a simple man-in-the-middle attack, which means users got hacked due to accessing a phishing site
b) there is actually a bug on idex (possible hack?) which sends the private key somewhere

Do you search the IDEX exchange directly on the Google engine?
So the first one and the second both show a phishing site, which eventually points to IDEX, but no one knows what it will record.

There's not much you can do with IDEX (if that's still possible). Advice for the future. Be careful, and be careful to Open sites only with bookmarks.

Yeah, it sucks. I am sorry for you... It's good that there was only 1 ETH, it could be much worse.
I am not an expert, but I think the most safe authorization method is through MetaMask. This way you don't use/leave your private key in direct form. Probably you should consider to use it especially for DEXs.

Man, it kind of sucks that hacks like this happen because not only the owner lose money, but the price of the coin will also drop. Sad to say this but there is no way a hacker could brute its way into your account because your information is not saved in the site. I think the only for you to get hacked is to give your personal information to the hackers themselves or you log in into a phishing site. Well, there are numerous ways for you to secure account. The first thing you need to do is to make sure your computer is clean. Next is that you should always bookmark that page that you are using to avoid phishing sites. Last is to never store your tokens into exchanges. It's better to pay fees rather than to get hacked.

It's not so easy to consider, succeeding well-nigh likely you were caught in phishing or it was inattention on your divorce and you transmitted individual a crotch important, succeeding differently it's impossible.

Could it be some virus or malware in your computer? I suggest that you do a scan to check whether your computer is infected. Try asking in idex telegram chat to see whether anyone has such experience.

It's very simple to steal your password through some extension in your browser or through a phishing site. And if you store all the data in an online Google table, then it's likely that your mail was hacked.

It is a bad idea. This simply can not be, because IDEX has a very similar system of protection as MEW, so the only thing that can be, people who previously sent their private keys could somehow draw money from you.

Hi Guys,

I don't know where to post this so hopefully this is the right spot. I need some help figuring out how this could have happened. 3 days ago it appears someone got into my IDEX account and sold my XYO coins then proceeded to transfer to the ETH to their own account. I am unclear how this could have taken place as I have been very careful with my IDEX account and my JSON file there. So is there anything (any clues) in this transaction that point to something beyond someone brute force hacking my IDEX account? Please help me understand how this could take place.


wow I was suprised if someone can do bruteforce attack to your IDEX account. why he must do a bruteforce if they can do something simple like social engineering ? and guest you already trapped by hackers. maybe you ever login with your private key in fake IDEX website or MEW. so simply to made conclusion your private key already hijacked. don't ever use JSON file anymore. you must be more careful. use NANO LEDGER or metamask to store all your balance man.

I get that my 1 ETH is gone ...yes it pisses me off to high heaven and people will be like too bad buddy I had xxx amount stolen. But what I'm trying to understand is HOW this happened so I can avoid it in the future. It makes no sense to me. My google accounts are secure e-mail etc... so I'm not sure what on earth happened.

Any help unraveling this mystery would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have an Idea, how can I help you mate with your situation now, since I'm just an ordinary trader and such as a bitcoin users. Better luck next time and be secure by every step of trading In IDEX exchange because I notice on that exchange was so easy to used and now I read this post, I can say Its to used and easy to hack as well.

First, I use an incognito browser when signing up for IDEX.
Second, my computer always install anti-spyware, anti-keylog software.
Third, I never use the Prative key to log in.
Others may invade your wallet ETH and sell what you have.
I recommend creating a new wallet. That's the best way.

Only you can access your IDEX account with your private key and it also has HTTPS technology which makes it more secure. I think somehow you were uncertain and the hacker take that chance and get your password.

I think it's not a easy task for doing. Because IDEX accounts provides high class security. They are always developing their security. If this happens it will miracle.

This is one of the reasons why i don't like to log in to my idex. They ask for private keys to access your account. This made me think twice in opening my account there. But idex has a lot of coins listed so it made me open an account. I don't see any problems with idex. Maybe its a phishing site that popped up and prompted you to put in your private keys
