There are 2 mistakes between your own what coinbase. If your email or password is known and someone is doing the transaction out it is your fault why it is not secure with F2A, Email verification, and Sms Verification.
But if the hacked is Coinbase itself and our balance is gone just so we can blame Coinbase itself and they should be responsible for the user itself. In conclusion, use Google Auth or F2A to secure your account.
Topic: if anyone hacked your account then who is responsible??? - page 9. (Read 7697 times)
If it's just your account that's compromised in the exchange, then it's seen as your fault because you are responsible for your own security, if the exchange's decide to pay back everyone whose funds were hacked, then many people would start faking being hacked to be compensated or even be less careful about the security of their accounts, everybody should always ensure to take the neccessary steps to secure their exchange accounts and this includes a long and complicated password and also the activation of 2FA.
If you ever protected your account the best you can then maybe its somebody fault. As a user we take full responsibility of our every actions but sometimes no matter how we try safe our accounts there are instances that we might be outsmarted by bad actors.
Having a lot of passwords would make the account safer to have. Don't just leave a wallet or account unencrypted.I always use a difficult password so that other people have difficulty guessing it, and other additional security, if this has been used all and the account is still hacked then there is a weakness in the exchange.
Agree, but if only our account is hacked, maybe it's our fault. But if a lot of accounts are hacked, I think the exchanger needs to take responsibility by bearing the losses suffered by his customers
if I've created account/wallet on coinbase or any other exchange then my account is hacked and my coins/money lost who are responsible for it
The Exchange where I've created account
is it my mistake
what's you thought about it
and how i make my account safe

It can't really be your fault that your account got hacked. The fault can be from the exchange and reason why the security of any exchange is paramount. How secured is the exchange?
You are responsible even in the first place. You are the creator of your account and you should do all the things that you could have done to make it secure. You should always remember to set a strong password that is a combination of letter, number and special characters and if there is a 2fa option then enable it to add another layer of security.
It is difficult to answer this question. If you were talking about personal wallets (both online and desktop versions), then I would have said that in case you get hacked and your coins get stolen then you have only yourselves to blame. In such cases, the majority of the incidents occur due to carelessness from the user (such as 2FA not activated or email confirmation not enabled).
In this case, no one to blame but the user itself. It is every user's responsibility to secure their own wallet/exchange. Users are given the right to store their own private key and create their own password, if it was compromised, and the funds inside of it will be stolen, yourself is at fault here.However, hacks on exchange wallets can occur due to multiple reasons. They can occur due to carelessness from the side of the user, as well as due to mistakes from the part of the exchange. Sometimes the exchanges get hacked and user data (passwords, email address, phone number.etc) get stolen. In such cases, you can't blame the user for the hack. But sometimes, the user is responsible. For example, the user visits a phishing website and enters his password. The hacker gets hold of this password and uses it to steal the coins.
Every user has it's own responsibility, and the exchange as well. But I don't think that the exchange will let it happen to stole every information of their users. They will tighten their security for sure.
Phishing is the main problem of most users, they easily become a victim due to lack of awareness.
Let me use the incident that happened earlier this year to give an example... A large number of user accounts were hacked and large funds totalling over $40m was carted away but the exchange refunded their users because it happened because of a vulnerability from their end, but when a single individual's account is hacked, that user bears the responsibility because it happened to just you so it's likely that you didn't secure your account the way it ought to be secured.

It is neither mistake, but your computer’s because probably you got some Trojan or something in your computer that resulted in the hacker gaining access to your pc. These hackers will do anything to achieve your wallet so be very careful in this regard
if it's really your fault, or negligence in accessing your wallet, I think you should be held responsible.
but it is different if the exchange is hacked, it is the hacker's fault and the company will be responsible, but you must have strong evidence if you are the owner of the wallet on the exchange.

Well if your account was hacked ill think no one will blame on it. There are a time our account be hacked because of some virus we open in any sites that not protected and not safe to open. And in that issue must better to be careful always in comes of our account that have some important coins. But in come recover you know the secret key of your account, Actually some of exchange site are have secret key that can recover our account again.
I think everyone is responsible for his own security. Always use 2 factor authentication, never use a password twice. Don't share personal information with strangers.

Yes alphanumeric is one of the best password combinations, but it is your responsibility to secure your account, you should keep it secret so that nobody will know that you are having that thing. You should change your password often as much as possible make it monthly and install a 2FA feature that can send you a text message or email for confirmations But we can never prevent instances that hacker may do something to our accounts it is not our fault but the developer is in charge of it.

Some hackers were too good in hacking that we got too sick questioning ourselves. First it is really our fault not to encrypt our account the best way as we can like combination of difficult codes as well used email in different platforms that sometimes may expose our email in different sites that seems easy for hackers to detect and try if they can get funds on it. The application we use matters too,check its credibility in protecting their clients but we know that even top exchanges been attacked by hackers too. I usually just think its hackers fault to give myself peace. Will just change my code and provide authentication security to stop them the next time. Forgive ourselves and learn from the trauma it brings to make our account more secured. 
First you need to check for yourself first if you have lapses in your side like you give your credentials to someone. After that you need to check also whether you have put your credentials to any storage online like spreadsheets and etc.
If none of it are responsible for the leak of your credentials then there is a big possibility that the security of the exchange were hacked, so the main responsible to it is the team behind the exchange. In online, you can secure your account by upgrading your security to 2fa or any additional security that the exchange has provided, aside from that there is no guarantee that our money online is 100% safe.

if I've created account/wallet on coinbase or any other exchange then my account is hacked and my coins/money lost who are responsible for it
The Exchange where I've created account
is it my mistake
what's you thought about it
and how i make my account safe
in such cases, it is very difficult to know who is responsible. in my opinion, this could be your fault or an exchanger's mistake. I say that because this also happened to me.The Exchange where I've created account
is it my mistake

This can be your fault because sometimes we invite the hackers themselves. Maybe you clicked on a number of suspicious e-mails in the incoming e-mail on behalf of the exchanger.
it can also be an exchanger error because they neglect to make a system that can be exploited by hackers (but there is no secure system). You can try sending support tickets, and that might be overcome. but the possibility is very small.
however, we can only learn from it. we know the most responsible here is the hackers involved.
You are responsible for your account, if you didn't do something to tighten the security then its your negligence.
But if you insist that it's not your fault, then file a complain against this incident to the exchange where your account was hacked. There are circumstances that it's a backdoor hack and it's the negligence of the exchange. In other words, this depends on the situation but unless the exchange proved that it's not on their part and you are aware on how you protected your account, it's hard to pin point though they can just simply deny that it's not their fault.
In addition, you are responsible on your account for being hacked since it is yours and you are the one who cares for that. And the hackers can only hack your account when there's something information that is being leaked or knew by him. You should make different authenticator for you to secure your account since we are in the money world and we are earning money here, meaning there are a lot of hackers in this sector. So if you don't secure it yourself your money will vanished and be hacked by hackers. Authenticators are important since it secures your account and you should save it in some secured file. But in this generation, there are still hackers that are expert in hacking, so avoid some websites that need your personal information. But if you insist that it's not your fault, then file a complain against this incident to the exchange where your account was hacked. There are circumstances that it's a backdoor hack and it's the negligence of the exchange.
