well yes , yesterday my kraken account was compromised , hackers got access to my email address , but i hope i was fast enough to change the password.

yesterday kraken webiste was extremely slow , and many times i got timeout error , but i was able to change kraken account password , but by that time hackers was able to add two factor authentication so now even if i change the password unable to log in , to bypass two factor authentication i must write to support ,

hackers was in my kraken account about 15 mins, but as i said , website was extremely slow.  i have not received any more emails (that bitcoin withdrawal address has been added ,or withdrawal initiated ) , the only think that im afraid of is API keys , is hackers was able to generate API keys what they can do with it ??  can they exchange 14k euros to bitcoin and withdraw ? (even then they must add new bitcoin address and confirm it trough email) this also needed via API control ? i have never used API in the past and and know very little about it.



if you kraken account hack problem not kraken, but youre not safe guard youre account
if problem can't login about 2FA, you must contact support kraken, with sending ticket

and then you can post in krakean announcement thread

You can do anything with API but I think you still need a verification email when you add a Bitcoin (and other altcoins) address for a transfer outside your account.
I don"t understand well if the hacker has access to your email or not but you should contact Kraken as soon as you can for trying to get help from them.
