i deserved it . i am 100% sure i didnt get phished hacked or anything , because i am an infosec student and i had all the precaution (only precaution i didnt take was taking off exchange the tokens, bad mistake) however it is idex fault it is a scam, u can or not believe but i think they are involved, 300,000 $ of total scams on this address all coming from idex funds, first rule of crypto, never keep funds on exchange, moreover if is a shitty exchange, beware biz, IDEX IS A SCAM, a pajeet got scammed for 16k

DO NOT USE IDEX there is a bug that records the private key entry allowing sniffing through sslstrip while loading happens , plus the private key it can be retrieved through cookies forensics as well

Anyone got any news?
Idex telegram is unoperative.

Pretty good, A good exchange for the successful ICO and listed at the first exchange. There are a lot of altcoin pumping or pump every day, Very suitable to earn a profit. I just do not like IDEX at a few things: The interface does not really attract users and the fees are quite high

I use IDEX often and have never had such a problem. Hardware wallet ( ledger nano s) directly opened IDEX and I use it easily

I have used IDEX before but I'm not sure if it is still safe. I only use it to exchange coins that are only available to be sold there and I have never kept any of my altcoins there. It's also not an exchange that you would trust because it's not very popular to a lot of users or traders here.

For most tokens that can't be sell in much bigger and well known exchange idex is the alternative ways, it's really hard to entrust your money with decentralized site like this as you don't have any idea what can be done without your knowledge, though I haven't experienced any similar things like this but it's something that we need to check out.

I have been using it for more than 5 months but till now, i have never faced any problem with the exchange and most of the coin listed in IDEX are ethereum based coins. If ethereum blockchain transaction are very fast then automatically idex transactions will be fast.

IDEX is safe until now. I never had a problem using this exchanges...
This guy who you said is just unlucky, maybe he visits the IDEX phishing site and never check the right IDEX website URL before. Also, why he doesn't use metamask ? it's very risky to login the exchanges without the metamask...

This is absolutely her own fault...

IDEX is a decentralized exchange which required private key. So I never use it. You need to be very careful .

this tbh
why would it be safe if you put your private key?
You literally can't be sure your funds are safe if you do not use trezor/ledger nano, just get one mate

IDEX is a secure exchange and the transactions are always safe and secure. But you do need a have a secure internet connection free from malware and bots in order to avoid difficulties.

The chances are the users might be exposed to phishing links. If there are still doubts in the air, it will be better to not to use IDEX.

Maybe you became a victim of some phishing website all Malware links. They might have caused this issues. You must report this problem to IDEX technical support team. Also, be very careful from next time.

IDEX is a decentralized exchange system and it is secure way of dealing. It may happen because someone might stole your private key so that they can access to your idea via metamusk. Also may be your internet connection was not secure or maybe you visited to some other scammed link! So be careful while installing software in the computer.

So far, I have no problems with IDEX and etherdelta/forkdelta as decentralized exchanges for that matter. I just always make sure that I am accessing the right site and there are no warnings whatsoever that it is not secure just like what happen to myetherwallet site few months ago. OP said that he is sure he was not phished and he just keep his coins in the exchange which is not a good idea as we know that keeping the coins in an exchange is not secure so maybe the wallet that the exchange was using is hacked that's why his funds are gone with it.

very terrible. so decentralized exchange is not safe, idexx should be responsible for this problem, because we import the private key there. I think idex is better than etherdelta and forkdelta, but the fact is they are the same and just as annoying.

I want to tell you how I looked for a link to a market exchange, namely by visiting the https://coinmarketcap.com/ and looking for the market that we will visit, this helps you to find an exchange instead of using a search engine and maybe this is one of the tips so that we do not fall on pising sites.

There are many phishing links out there when you search for idex on Google, kindly ensure to check the right one before inputting your private key, idex has been safe all this while and it's still safe, do not click on any different link apart from the original link

I never heard this kind of things about IDEX. It is really secure platform and I have used this several times. Maybe you go through a phishing site. I am extremely sorry to hear your loss.

I think you visit the wrong link which is a phishing site. You should find the right site and bookmark it. And you can use matamask. It is good for any decentralized exchanges.
