Topic: Japanese exchange Coincheck has been hacked - page 2. (Read 324 times)
Biggest threat for crypto industry.
I could never understand what the staff of cryptoexchanges is doing. It takes a long time to verify KYC, it takes a huge time to get a respond on your ticket, it also take a huge time to communicate with devs of new coins to get their projects listed and with all those problems exchanges are still lagging with high amount of users and have big security holes. It realy seems like they just need to hire more people to their team but no one cares about it. I hope this is not how it works right now.
I dont get it,
Exchanges I imagine
make a ton of profit and I would have thought security would be of the utmost importance,
after all they have a duty of care to their members to secure their funds.
further evidence to avoid keeping funds on an exchange
Im feeling very cynical and skeptical.

It looks like 62 billion yen ($570 million) worth of XEM/NEM have been stolen. They've halted trading and withdrawals of NEM.
As far as I know about bitflyer is the most prominent exchange in Japan. But it looks coincheck was even bigger than bitflyer. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/yamamotoichiro/20180126-00080895/

But sounds like another mtgox. The fund goes somewhere. This is sucks, how centralized exchange site is fucked us again. At least they said the fund goes somewhere.
