Topic: IDEX unsafe? - page 6. (Read 19719 times)
I'm also afraid when I have to enter the private key when I open the Idex site. to anticipate if my private key is stolen, I always use a different wallet address to store assets without ever entering the private key to any site. so I made a wallet address specifically for trading on idex, fd, ed, and other decentralized trading sites.
I don't understand...how can a decentralized exchange can be hacked? It's all based on blockchain..correct?
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?
why can that happen, I also often trade in idex and this makes me afraid and more careful, in my opinion you might be exposed to phishing links and also may have to use metamask to anticipate this to happen
Sadly, nowhere is safe to keep your coins. Even doing the 22 step super-paranoid security procedures aren't 100%. I've used IDEX with no issues but not for any sizeable trades. But definitely prefer DEX to centralized exchanges in principle.
indeed almost all the exchangers are actually less safe I guess. then, if you keep the coins, it's not on the exchanger. Better save it in a place that is safe. Because of this danger once you hodl, let alone for long.
though i bookmark and shortcut all the exchange on my system desktop, i still use a very reliable Internet security antivirus to help me detect phishing website. I have seen it block many for recently even from some links i opened from my email. IDeX is a decentralized such as Etherwallet itself, it cannot be compromised unless you are ain't careful and get phished.
I didn't know that how is possible. If we found any difficulty like this, we can search and discuss about this matter. By the way, this issue is not occurred still.

I haven't hear any bad news about idex , i don't think is a scam they are secured and protect your private key , i made different transaction on it
I have never experienced anything like that while using Idex, but I think that is because someone stole your private key so that the thief can access your full idea via metamask.
be careful in installing any program on your computer, it could be that pirated computers have been inserted with malware

IDEX exchange is a secure and secure way of dealing, but to get there, your computer and internet connection must be secure!
Any errors (if any) will affect all the tokens associated with that address!

It is incredible how many useless comment show up thanks to signature campaigns.
Well at least that bumps the thread I guess.

May be you probably entered the wrong link which would have been a phising site. Yeah we can never be too careful sometimes things like this happens with all the guard you could have placed. Sorry for the lost.
It is a decentralized exchange, and maybe you were scammed by a fishing link. I always use MetaMask to connect to any DEX, and it'll keep our wallet safe, than using Private key.

I've just read this comment on another website:
my idex account was "hacked" even though my pkeys were offline and i never got hacked till 2015 until i used this idex scam , it was only 600$ that i wanted to buy some dips, got too naive trusting this shitty exchange and trading there
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9PSDN_1HWk [Embed] lots of ppl got "hacked" , is not an hack idex is involved in this shit for sure, 1.5m cap exchange fuck off , i totally deserve it because i am smarter than this, but man, this shit exchange is involved inthis shit for sure, NEVER GOT HACKED IN 4 YEARS , 2 weeks of idex, hack, strange? 300,000 $ linked to the scammer, all coming from idex.. strange?? IDEX SCAM

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.
Glad i have transferred all of my amounts from idex to the my private wallet. It looks like there was a bug. but i have been getting a little ethereum in my idex wallet just disappeared. it looks strange. my idex account was "hacked" even though my pkeys were offline and i never got hacked till 2015 until i used this idex scam , it was only 600$ that i wanted to buy some dips, got too naive trusting this shitty exchange and trading there

I never got negative news about IDEX, but I have heard that this exchange is not entirely decentralized, information on their whitepaper also explains that IDEX is a semi-decentralized exchange my idex account was "hacked" even though my pkeys were offline and i never got hacked till 2015 until i used this idex scam , it was only 600$ that i wanted to buy some dips, got too naive trusting this shitty exchange and trading there

idex is a decentralized exchange so i don't think they can access your wallet,to protect your wallet make sure you visit only original website of idex and bookmark its for future visits,use metamask for any decentralized exchange

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.

It didn't happen to me, that is just a comment I found on another website.
I am aware of the phishing links; if that is the reason why these people lost their funds it wouldn't be as bad as if there is actually a private key sniffing issue as they mentioned.
Not new, there are also some reports and complains like that few months ago.
I didn't know on how it happened but whenever you guys an exchange like IDEX, use it with metamask.
The guy on the video said there's someone who's using a remote access on the idex network, probably its his wallet and got his private key.
IDEX is a decentralized exchange so how it can be controlled by someone, unless he accessed the wallet itself.
The scammer/hacker got $94,000 = 222 ETH and that's a lot. I'll take this as a warning and will be more careful from my trades there.

That's my guess that someone stole his private key.The scammer/hacker got $94,000 = 222 ETH and that's a lot. I'll take this as a warning and will be more careful from my trades there.
