Topic: IDEX unsafe? - page 4. (Read 19721 times)
While it's technically possible for IDEX (or any website) to be hacked the way that ED was, we reviewed our security and ensured 2FA was in place and updated, as well as all server keys. Also, the way IDEX is technically structured, it would be much more difficult to pull off before we noticed and shut down the site.
I also thought so, some time ago I transferred a few coins to the kuchoin but they didn't come in my kuchoin wallet, now I'm a little worried about this exchange.
I didn't read any news about that.. however it's months since first etherdelta hack that I use every decentralized exchange only with my ledger nano s or metamask.
Most of the people who get scammed, actually didn't get scammed by the exchange itself.
The most common way people get scammed is through phishing links.
I just roll my eyes at someone that lost money because of this.
It's so simple to safeguard yourself against this.
As far as IDEX having weaknesses in it's platform that hackers can exploit, I'm pretty sure it does.
All exchanges do, centralized or decentralized.
I understand fully that I take risks whenever I trade.
But also, to think that IDEX is a scam because someone lost 16,000 dollars is laughable.
That is small money compared to how much they make through fees.
Why one earth would IDEX throw it away to purposeful take a measely 16k?

Add the name of the exchange to the browser bookmarks and click here. All search requests are issued at the first places phishing sites that steal your passwords and access to your wallet is in the hands of thieves.
I usually transfer the token I want to exchange on IDEX to a new wallet and conduct the transaction on IDEX. I feel unsafe when dealing on decentralized floors. I think the best way to link Metamash wallet to trading on IDEX, is a very safe way for investors.
Do you check the spellingbof the idex. Because there are lot of idex when you search it in a google. There idex.org , idex.com and etc that start with idex. It will be best if you visit or search first the social media of a exchanger to verify the correct link

I don't see anything unsafe about Idex. What u do is connected to metamask. I don't understand my private directly on any decentralized exchanges. The safest way is to use metamask. So next time you use an decentralized exchange like Forkdelta, Etherdelta, idex etc, import your wallet to metamask and connect to the exchange.
index is a decentralized market that is useful for exchanges, and it protects your wallet from all cheating and you have to block it so that it is quickly accessed and there are also ideas that say it's not safe, it depends on everyone using its services.
Dude maybe you joined another airdrop token and you forgot to gave eth address instead you gave private key. Just be careful next time you login or sharing otherd bout your eth address.
I use this exchange for a long time. I do not even miss the opportunity to bargain with new coins, which only just came out there. I like IDEX
In general, IDEX can be called an improved version of the EtherDELTA exchange. There is a more refined and unloaded interface, and the problem with access to the account is also fixed. You can notice a slowdown in work. The only negative, in my opinion, the lack of good and promising crypto currency on IDEX. Good reliable exchange.
I don't understand...how can a decentralized exchange can be hacked? It's all based on blockchain..correct?
Can someone tell me more?
Can someone tell me more?
3 ways.
1. man in the middle attack: someone creates a phishing clone website, people get in, keys get stolen the moment they are entered
2. bugs that allow key sniffing
3. website getting hacked, key sniffing
just to understand...in this kind of exchange, the private keys, are preserved in the blockchain itself?
Your question makes no sense.
But if you are asking me whether idex actually intends to record private keys entered - then the answer is no.
i'm sorry, maybe i haven't enough knowledge to understand.
It's that i believed that decentralized exchanges were more safe than normal exchanges..

This is really weird. I've used Idex very many times and i never had a bad experience. That commnent could ve a false one from someone who just wants to hurt the reputation of Idex, or he just got phised somehow.
as well as on another decentralized exchange (etherdelta) I would not risk and come from my wallet (the risk of break is great, the author himself is to blame)
When using the dexes we must have to be very careful. Holding tokens in exchange is very dangerous. Little mistake enough to lose our coins. Sometimes they aren't our faults. I also saw some bad complaints about IDEX by users. But people still hold their tokens in exchange wallets. Best thing hols your tokens in MEW or other related wallets. But you have to forget the transactions fees. But I think forgetting the small fees is good than the lost whole invested coins. I'm feeling positive at least one person learn something with these results.
I don't really understand IDEX. It seems like it never logs you out. Or is it just me. I set up an account, but I am hesitant to fund it. That said, there are ERC20 tokens that trade on IDEX and nowhere else...
Do you search the IDEX exchange directly on Google?
Both the first and second places for Google search solutions are phishing links, though both eventually point to the real IDEX exchange.
Yes, you're right there really are phishing links and people who do not know about it are becoming victims of fraudsters. You need to be very careful and carefully check the sitelink on which you plan to enter data.

I do not know IDEX is safe or secure, but I think the problem he encountered is that hackers have hacked into his account and taken away his money. But I do not think this is a bug at IDEX, but how he can secure his account
